When the mercury soared, so did the disinformation - from the Climate Council as well as the MSN
Don Owers humorously points out the not-so-funny posturing in the Climate Council's loud criticism of Sky News and News Corp regarding disinformation on climate change, in the face of its own strange silence - dare we say collusion? - about the principal drivers of carbon emission growth in Australia, namely government and lobby-group-engineered population and intensive development growth.
The Blind Side of Melbourne that Barry Humphreys used to make us laugh at ... Now not so funny - Article by Sally Pepper
The four former colleagues gathered at a suburban Italian restaurant for one of their regular "catch ups.” But were they really catching up? They had not worked together for about fifteen years but, possibly through habit or email mailing list accident, had still kept in touch. Only one still worked in the same clinical profession that had brought them together.

CHIA's Agenda for local government: Beware the candy-coated housing strategy
What moral right does CHIA, a large, well-auspiced professional organisation, have in fueling animosity against local government candidates who defend their communities' planning powers and their right to veto subdivisions - key pillars of self-determination?

This discussion covers every important base on the push and pull factors for mass migration and the problems that ensue for the receiving populations on which it is imposed by elites. It is worth a library of books on the subject. Also, on Tommy Robinson, a surprising analysis.
Melbourne "punching above its weight" but in the wrong way!
A volunteers' pamphlet for the 1956 Olympic Games shows a photo of the then Lord Mayor (Sir Frank Selleck) and describes Melbourne as " a proud city of 1.5 million people" and its suburbs with tree lined streets giving privacy to "neat homes”.

Nobody controls immigration to Australia
Nobody controls immigration into Australia. If Big Australia wants to increase it, they can't. If Small Australia wants to reduce it, they can't. When John Howard said, "But we will control who comes to this country," he was lying then, and it is an even bigger lie now.
34 Years of the Big Lie about Australia's 'declining' population
In early 1990 I changed my name to ZPG and stood for the NSW Senate because of the big lie - that without immigration, Australia's population is declining. It was so wrong then, and it is so wrong still. But recently Nine/Fairfax/ABC/SBS/News have been revving up the old propaganda. Is the big lie propaganda being orchestrated by dark hands?
Human population a major factor in habitat loss and biodiversity decline

Victoria defaults on promised housing for young mentally ill - Melbourne City Mission, Homelessness Council
"The Victorian Government has failed to fund 500 housing places for young people living with mental illness almost three years after making the commitment – a key royal commission recommendation." (Council to Homeless Persons, Melbourne City Mission and Orygen) The homelessness press-release says nothing about how massive overseas immigration and investment has driven the excessive demand that has resulted in high prices and housing shortage, but this is the elephant in the room, and t

Konrad Yakabuski on why mass Immigration spells disaster for Canada - Article by John Meyer
Most Canadians hate state-engineered rapid population growth through mass migration, but Canada's public broadcaster, like Australia's, along with the corporate newsmedia, has for decades pretended that there was little opposition. The following article, from Canadians for a Sustainable Society, gives a history of the propaganda and the disaster, which many Australians may relate to, and reviews some signs of change.

Video: Stop Destroying The Housing Market - The Referendum We Deserve - by Biko Konstantinos

PM Albanese has Australia on course for 150m within life-time of a child born today
Australia’s population of 26.5m grew at the rate of 2.2% (year ending March 2023.) At 2.2% growth rate our current population would increase to 30m within 10 years and double in 31.85 yrs and would reach 150m by 2103, within the life-expectancy of a child born today. Less than 25% of that 2.2 rate of population growth was due to natural increase. Without the 454,361 migration, we would have grown at about 0.55%.
