Julia Gillard And Tony Abbott "Tough" On Immigration/Refugees ?

Dr. J. Saleam.

Bullshit Me Once Shame On You; Bullshit Me Twice, Shame On Me!

A game is being played. It has been on foot since the emergence of Tony Abbott as "Opposition Leader". The Liberal Party has pretended to be a critic of the "border security" policies of the Labor government and has further argued for a "sustainable immigration program". Yeah. Yeah. At no point have the Liberals demanded an end with immigration, nor have they said a firm "No" to refugee intakes. And we would have expected nothing less from them. Under John Howard, the Liberals boomed immigration to dizzying numbers. The Liberals know that the "end" of the policy-is to affect a change in Australia's demographics. The question for the Liberals has been to stymie community fears over such a monstrous thing dispossessing the Australian People in their own country. Will we Australians become a minority in our own country within 50 years? Is the attack upon our national identity ( in education, media, politics, cultural institutions ) part of this change in our status ? When do we become "part of Asia" ?

The significant new development is that Labor has joined the Liberals in this game! In words at least, Labor has expressed concerns ( sic ) at the direction of the immigration program and its size, at the effects on urban infrastructure and so forth.

The Gillard Putsch Signals Fear Of The People.

The new Julia Gillard government has responded to mass voters` worries stated during a recent State by-election in New South Wales. Liberal and Labor activists reported the mood of the community on immigration and population policy, on border security and refugees-was poisonous to the LABER-AL machine. It could produce maverick behavior at the polls ( not just in outer suburban Sydney either ) and in the community-precisely the intention of the Australian people's party-Australia First!

The Labor government now seeks a "sustainable" population level for Australia and is not necessarily in favour of the "big Australia" that KRudd talked about. Yeah. Yeah.

So now, both sets of liars are immigration critics!

The Sydney Morning Herald editorialised on June 30:

"Julia Gillard's foray into population policy has a touch of John Howard about it. The former Prime Minister was adept at subtly using the public's fears of uncontrolled immigration-talking and acting tough about a small number of boat people while simultaneously arranging a large immigration intake. It was an effective tactic to sidestep the xenophobia among sections of his supporters, although many will demur at its cynicism. Gillard, by implying criticism of the Rudd governments supposedly arbitrary population targets of up to 40 million people, and adding the word "sustainable" to the title of Tony Burke's population portfolio, is playing a similar game ? Let us hope a game is all it amounts to."

Was this a case of honest journalism from an Establishment paper ?

We say that it is a ruthless and cynical game. But can LABER-AL pull this off ? Gillard gives her new line and Abbott says it's not hard enough and is just dreamed up policy spin. Why believe Julia ? Then vote for Tony-he said it all first. Yeah. Yeah. A double game!

The Sydney Morning Herald does tell us a couple of things. People are worried. People may react. This game is being played. The paper is worried the game might get out of hand. And it can! All the lies in the world do not necessarily mean that the voters, the people, can be absolutely fooled this time. Have people realised: bullshit me once, shame on you; bullshit me twice, shame on me ?? It's a bit late for a John Howard "children overboard" Tampa crisis. So it's cooked up in a new way, with sober pollies reacting to what voters say about the population crisis.

However, population is only part of the story. It's not just about people-but what people. Both faces of the LABER-AL machine are dedicated to the Asian Destiny for Australia, the ultimate breaking open of the borders for labour and capital to move freely. We are warned. We are in peril. That the liars in Canberra would go down their new population-sceptical road suggests they are concerned the people may not be fooled.

Let's prove that to them! Build Australia First Party, electorally and in the community as the party of the Australian People! No more bullshit!
