Lovers of Iran’s Islamist regime give thanks to Don Trump for restoring its domestic popularity to early 1980s levels.

Nestory Irankunda, a refugee from Tanzania, Africa. Current status: Deadset hero in the whole of Australia right now. 👏🏼 Awkward day to be a racist, ain’t it. Go #socceroos

Cheer this young man while he’s scoring goals for Australia. Blame him for high house prices and crime when he walks down the street. The sheer fucking racist hypocrisy of white Australia and One Nation.

So many posts like this in response to mine. What an ugly, joyless, snivelling crowd are the One Nation-backing racists!

If irukunda couldn't play football he'd be chopping off limbs with machetes

Spare a thought tonight for the White Australian Lobby, forced to sit this one out as the Socceroos trounce Turkey in their opening World Cup clash. The ANZACs would be proud. From Beersheba to the World Cup, Aussies have always enjoyed a win over the Turks.

They are all Aussies, chosen on merit and they played like true patriots. In the real meaning of the word, not the racist one so commonly used in this site!
Replying to @4mambo
Not really. If it was based purely on merit - well done. If not, then that means an Aussie missed out.

Anthony and Angus have done the standard pollie celebratory tweet about World Cup match win. Not yet the “great white hope”.🤔 (She much prefers the second goal.)

Funny how every time Australia succeeds on the world stage, the team looks a lot like modern Australia, diverse, multicultural and built by generations of migrants. #socceroos #auspol

Australia’s greatest living investigative journalist, Brian Toohey, launched his new book in Sydney tonight. After a career of 50 years to date of groundbreaking journalism, editing, and publishing, Brian has now published some of his very best reports & investigations — and a few previously unpublished — in this fabulous new book. A spillover standing-room only crowd greeted stories from Brian and MC David Marr, with contributions from Laura Tingle, Colleen Ryan, Marian Wilkinson, and Colleen Egan. “Fifty Years Before the Mastheads - My Published and Unpublished Stories on Politics, Corruption, Defence, Journalism and Secrecy” is self-published and well worth finding and buying now. The recent political history covered in the book is shocking to those who don’t know it — and a terrifying reminder to those who do — of how our democracy is being sold off and given away. # Get it here # gleebooks.com.au/p/50-years-…

Snowshoe doesn’t know how to spell snow and wouldn’t know a communist if he fell over one!
Yep, the sooner the liar is booted the better. He's nothing but a communist scumbag.

Old Avid is referring to 4 months from Jan to April in a desperate attempt to suggest net migration is growing rapidly. If he looked at visa grant & stock data for same period, he would know net migration was relatively stable (but at a higher level than Treasury forecasts).
Australian net long term and permanent arrivals for the year to April came in at 223.2k, the highest figure on record.

Great polling from Vic - Labor set to be smashed with the Liberals way ahead of both the govt and ON. Even saving the furniture now is looking problematic for Allan and co. Nemesis is coming for Australia's most rotten political outfit. pollbludger.net/2026/06/12/d…

How the hell do you keep up with all the bullshit posted on this site about immigration and immigrants, Abul? Thank goodness you do and call out the lies and exaggerations. Pity the mainstream media is so lazy and even complicit in the misinformation flow!
Next Thursday, ABS will release data on NOM for calendar 2025. Likely to show NOM between 300k & 320k. Nowhere near 480k in NPLT for same period that some political parties, think tanks, media, etc have been peddling. Will they apologise for misleading the public? Not likely.

A classic case of correlation not causation.
There is a fairly robust relationship between net long term and permanent arrivals and rental growth on a lagged quarterly basis in recent times.

This Thursday, ABS data will prove Adam Creighton was out by around 230k to 290k, possibly more.

Adam Creighton says net migration in 2025 may be between 550,000 & 598,000. I am happy to accept a bet that it won’t be within 150,000 of these estimates. Not even close.
