Well, first of all, child marriage is wrong - no two ways about it.
Secondly, Epstein was a convicted sex offender - the NSW report mentions "suspected forced marriages".
Epstein wasn't a suspect - he was a convicted felon.
And thirdly, how do you know the suspects weren't born here?
Finally, if they are immigrants, how do you know which federal government was in power when they entered the country?
I'm curious.
Irrlevant blather. The UniParty in Australia, Britain, Western Europe, North America, has been the same about immigration for 50+ years.
Well, you do have a choice, dear boy. Get born in Australia, turn 18, register to vote and get involved in our fine, multicultural experiment.
Or,
go back to where you came from. It's an either/or, no in-betweens.
So, what's it to be?
More stupid blather, this time from Tweedle Trouser Sniffer Dumb, backing up his/zer Tweedle Creepy Liar Dee.
The TAPRI study, published last February, showed 80 per cent support for reducing migration numbers, 67 per cent support for dealing with skills shortages “by raising wages and improving skills training for locals”, 67 per cent opposition to increasing “ethnic and other forms of diversity”, and 58 per cent support for selection policy that takes “into account a migrant’s ability to fit into the Australian community”.
A further study published in March 2025 found that while 66 per cent of all voters wanted “a sharp reduction in the migrant intake, especially of temporary migrants”, this was also the view of 58 per cent of Labor and Greens voters. These figures are almost certain to have increased in the wake of the Bondi massacre.
It’s worth noting that while people born overseas are just over 30 per cent of the population, they’re only 20 per cent of voters.
Even so, the TAPRI study shows that 77 per cent of Asian-born migrants want lower immigration while
English-speaking and European migrants are even likelier than the Australian-born to want lower migration and likelier to want fitting into Australia to be part of migrant selection policy.And while Asian migrants are more pro-diversity than other Australians, even among them there’s still 50 per cent opposition to using migration to increase diversity.
