14 November 2025: THE MOST USELESS IMMIGRATION POLICY!?!

No massive events happened today, but there's still some pretty crazy things to talk about:

1. USELESS NEW IMMIGRATION POLICY

2. PALESTINE PROTEST

3. VICTORIA WEIRD BAIL REPORT???

IMMIGRATION

Labor has been absolutely smashed by the public over immigration. And honestly, how could they not be? We’re experiencing the worst housing crisis in living memory, and every economist with a brain knows exactly why: extreme immigration numbers combined with almost no new housing being built because of Albanese’s suffocating socialist regulations. Only 16% of Australians say they’re satisfied with Labor’s housing policies, which is no surprise.

And yet, for some reason, Labor refuses to reduce immigration. At all.

Which brings us to today’s visa change. On paper it looks like something major happened. But in reality, it’s one of the most pointless reforms I’ve ever seen.

Here’s what they’ve done, in the simplest possible terms:

• They did NOT reduce immigration

• They did NOT add a cap

• They did NOT change how many foreign students come in

• They did NOT speed up or slow down overall approvals

All they did was create a “fast lane” and a “slow lane.” If a university hasn’t taken too many foreign students, its visa applications get processed slightly faster. If a university already has a lot of foreign students, their applications get processed slightly slower.

But every visa still gets processed within the same timeframe as before. And the same number of students still enter Australia.

So what is the point? Answer: nothing. It’s just another layer of bureaucracy. Another system. Another committee.

This is becoming a pattern with Albanese. He is obsessed with adding regulations and socialism. Why did we elect this guy? Instead of lifting housing restrictions, freeing up land, removing planning barriers, and actually letting homes be built, he invents meaningless new systems to pretend he’s being “active.”

From a purely economic standpoint (ignoring the obvious impacts on social cohesion and national identity) immigration can be a good thing under the right circumstances. But under a socialist housing regime where supply is choked to death, the only responsible solution is to cut immigration sharply until the system stabilises.

Labor will never do that. The only party calling for a real cut, down to around 130,000 per year, is One Nation.

As for the supposed intention behind today’s visa tweak - the government seems to think it will “spread immigrants out more.” In other words, encourage more Indian students to apply to regional universities because their visas get approved faster.

This is ridiculous for one simple reason: regional towns are not built for sudden population surges. They have:

• limited rental housing

• fewer buses and trains

• smaller hospitals

• fewer services overall

So pushing more students out there just strains already-overloaded towns.

This visa thing changes nothing. It doesn’t reduce numbers. It doesn’t fix housing. And it shows, yet again, that this government is allergic to helping actual Australians.

And for the 50th time, this has nothing to do with race. I don’t care what race you are, now simply isn’t the time to be coming to Australia. Unless you’re highly skilled, that is. Then you can have a place within the 130,000 people MAX we should let in each year. A study from the ANU found that only 12% of places in Albanese’s permanent migration program are going to genuinely skilled workers. So immigrants aren’t even skilled right now.

PALESTINE

Now onto something equally confusing: why are woke Australians so obsessed with Palestine?

We have sky-high rents, out-of-control crime, and young people who will never afford a home. But instead of dealing with any of that, some people spend every weekend marching down city streets waving the flag of a Middle Eastern country that has no connection to Australia whatsoever, and sometimes even burning our own.

This Saturday, they’re planning to march across the Story Bridge. Why? Because the council didn’t approve their request to light it up in Palestinian colours.

For one, their request didn’t meet the eligibility requirements.

But also, and this should be obvious, we should not be lighting up Australian landmarks with foreign political symbols. Especially during a conflict that Australia is not part of.

Protests are allowed. As Curtis Sliwa said in a NYC Mayoral debate, "every parade has the right to exist." And they always should. But that doesn’t mean every protest makes sense. There’s currently a ceasefire (however shaky), and Australia has enough problems of its own. If these people care so deeply about the conflict, they can book a flight to the Middle East instead of blocking bridges in Brisbane.

VICTORIA LIKES CRIME???

Finally, Victoria (Australia’s version of California) is at it again. A government report has come out recommending looser bail laws. Yes, you read that correctly. At a time when violent repeat offenders are already being arrested, released, and reoffending on the very same day, Victoria wants to make bail even easier.

This is insanity.

Every jurisdiction that has tried soft bail has experienced the same disaster:

• New York’s 2019 bail laws caused huge spikes in violent crime

• Los Angeles experimented with zero-bail policies and saw a surge in carjackings and assaults

• Canada is stuck in a revolving-door system where offenders know they’ll be released

Australia is not magically immune. Human nature doesn’t change based on the side of the equator you’re on.

Here is the simplest explanation of why weak bail laws do NOT work:

1. Criminals behave differently when consequences are real.

2. Bail is supposed to be a filter that stops high-risk offenders from walking free.

3. When you remove consequences, high-risk offenders simply keep offending.

4. Police waste time re-arresting the same people.

5. Courts get clogged with repeat cases.

6. Communities suffer because dangerous people stay on the streets.

7. Criminals learn the system is a joke, and act accordingly.

It is not complicated. This is basic cause-and-effect. Even a Year 7 economics student could explain it. (Although, they seem to not teach economics in grade 7 anymore because they would rather students learn about aboriginal spirituality than the fundamentals of capitalism.)

And to make matters worse, the report recommends judges consider an offender’s Indigenous status when deciding bail. Is this racism??? It doesn’t matter who you are, bail should be based on risk to the community, not skin colour. Equal treatment under the law used to be a foundational principle in this country.

That's all, bye.
