You’re talking absolute nonsense, dude. There’s no such thing as resetting the economy.

No visa extensions? That’s going to cause economic chaos, dude! Immigrants are a money-maker, removing them is just going to hit our ecnonomy. :(

What does it mean for those industries? They can hire people that are still here. Those fields aren’t held together by immigrants lol. You’re just eating up the lies about “we need more skilled immigrants!”

Yes, they are. If we can’t even conclude that fact then there’s nothing that can convince ya.

You were trying to do a “Gotcha! You’re racist!” thinking that I only wanted to stop “brown people” from coming here, weren’t you?

It’s not racist to want fewer immigrants from certain countries. Some countries and cultures aren’t entirely compatible.

Realistically we need a few million population decrease - at least 5 million - in order to dig ourselves out of this situation. Instead Labor (and the LNP to a slightly lower extent) want to keep importing people so they get more tax and can make it look like the economy is flourishing.

Labor’s brought in fewer immigrants than the LNP has. And removing five million? That’s insane. How’s that improve the economy?

You’re also implying that I’m pro-immigration, I’m not. We have too many, but that’s because we used immigration to hold up Australia after Covid. Now we’re in a tough spot where we need to remove them, but can’t risk it economically.

So what about the current immigration? The ones already here

What does that mean for the medical field, transportation, and cleaning? Immigrants are currently holding together all of these industries.

Is it just immigration from Asia or are we cool with immigration from America and Europe?

Because you said you didn’t vote for either, but all votes typically end up going to one or the other.

But what do you want done about immigration? Is it only immigration?

If your preferred party didn’t get any seats, you voted for the ALP or LNP.

Why would you prefer LNP when they were the ones who introduced more immigration?

Isn’t declining culture war ideology a positive thing? Australia has a strong sense of community and identity politics destroys that
