… close the border until we can fix the massive issues…
What issues do you think we will fix once we close the border?

“The protesters rallying for migration control on Sunday aren’t knuckle-dragging racists, but normal people who think open borders is a bad thing – that’s something that will shake the progressive activists to their core”
This is right. Almost all of the protesters and followers just want to close the border until we can fix the massive issues that are compounded the more people we let in.

None of them are fixed by closing the border, and that’s not what anyone is suggesting. By closing the border you stop the problem from getting worse and worse. This allows you to start addressing the problems much easier. It’s like plugging the hole in a sinking boat before grabbing the bucket versus just trying to empty it with a bucket while the hole is still there.
If we keep bringing in more people, the housing availability crisis keeps getting worse since there are more people looking for houses - to the tune of 1500 a day.
Do you understand? Do you disagree?

Sheesh here we go with the 1500 a day thing again, people like you ought to be banned from (mis)interpreting OAD and NOM datasets released by the ABS.

Net overseas migration Net overseas migration is the net gain or loss of population through international migration to and from Australia.
In the year ending 30 June 2024, overseas migration contributed a net gain of 446,000 people to Australia’s population. This was a decrease from the record 536,000 people the previous year.
How do you think this is being misinterpreted?

You may be intending that, but you’re getting lead by the fascists like a bull by the nose ring.

lol someone is being manipulated and lead on here, but it’s not me - it’s the people like you eating up all the mainstream media’s “it is a racist neo-Nazi march!” propaganda.

What did I say that is racist?
Do you think housing availability will get better by importing 1500 more people who need housing every day, or worse?

The ‘1500 per day’ figure that was bandied about isn’t accurate:

Have you been involved in or supported any housing affordability or public housing campaigns? i don’t think I saw a single campaigner or group that has been organising the campaigns for housing affordability or to save public housing come out in support of closing the borders or lowering immigration.or these rallies. Conversely you’d be hard pressed to find a single person that went to any of these rallies who has ever lifted a finger to organise their communities to stop the privatisation of public housing or campaign for better housing affordability.
Can you point me to single person or group that spoke at these rallies or helped to organise them that has done so?

Cook attempted gatekeeping of who is allowed to have an opinion and attend a march.
