This is a pretty even handed discussion that tries to do what it claims, look at the facts and figures with a minimum of ideology. The TLDR is that there's a massive amount of benefits to the immigration that Australia brings in and cutting it back would require a lot of planning and investment to compensate for what's lost.
OP, if you're going to post a video like this ffs write a description. I assume the downvotes are from people who didn't watch it but assumed its some racist bullshit (which I also suspected it was going to be but decided to check so that I could continue to procrastinate about getting back to work).
Yeah, you’re right I probably should have prefaced this, but my expectations of people here are (perhaps mistakenly) higher than elsewhere.
A video is a bit of an investment, let people know what they are getting into if you can using brackets [ ] to add to the video title.
It might also help if the title didn't frame itself as a neo-Nazi talking point.
Mentioning the ex-cop part in the description is probably not helping your cause :P
Yeah you bloody had to didn’t you hahaha
Fuck it it stays, he was a fucking good cop, rare as they are
Yeah he seems pretty reasonable.
He’s one of the few around who actually understands the subject.
I mean, there are plenty of people who understand the subject. It's just that reasonable takes on it that focus on the facts don't get amplified by media algorithms.
I haven’t found too many that have his understanding of it, particularly from the perspective of Muslim migration
