I support lower immigration. Historically very high immigration is largely a money making operation – for property investors, construction companies, certain employers, tertiary education. It needs to be reduced, but deliberate, performative hate-mongering, for cheap political benefit, is horrible.
"Immigration is coming down," Labor Assistant Minister Hill, this morning. Except it clearly isn't, other than as a reversion from the artificially high post-COVID rebound ... which, tbf, is what he said. But why lie about this, by obfuscation? What is the objective?

Reminder that the world spends 7 times as much on fossil fuel subsidies (~$7 trillion annually, ~7% of global GDP) than it does on renewables, which as of 2025 provide twice the bang for buck invested, even without the cost of ruining the biosphere.
In other words, late capitalism is a death cult.

Scientists now say we're on track for a catastrophic 2.6C temperature rise.
It would mean the end of agriculture in the UK and across Europe and drought and monsoon failure in Asia and Africa, with lethal heat and humidity widespread.
