Keep digging. I’m sure you will find the answers eventually.

Can I add in one more?

If you get bad numbers like he did with the jobs then you just fire the person who reported it

Not surprised he has fired whoever was in charge of this comically inaccurate data, though it is interesting that numbers were overstated prior to the last election (and revised downward after). Not saying politics are involved, but the person fired was hired by Biden.

It’s encouraging that scientists are once again able to actually question things, rather than just accept the dictated view (or else). You know, what science is meant to be about. No doubt the leftist media is already pulling its hair out.

U.S. Dept of Energy publishes new climate assessment report breaking the alleged ‘consensus’ – First official U.S. Govt report to push back on UN climate reports

This is HUGE. It is the first comprehensive government scientific report to challenge the conventional narrative surrounding the climate change issue in a very long time, perhaps ever. I cannot und…

Beware trolls at work

Troll = the default push back for positions you disagree with.

OK, open borders.

Don’t even exist?

And maybe some ‘far left’ organisation promotes open borders - but I wouldn’t have a clue. I assume however that most far left, or even left, or even moderate parties probably advocate for relaxing immigration restrictions.

Hence my answer to the Q is a qualified ‘yes’. But more likely just a theoretical yes, in that far left organisations might have an ultimate future vision of no borders for humanity – but it’s not a realistic goal in the current world.

Having said that - I’m guessing, and not at all familiar with any ‘far left’ politics.

To me ...‘left’ means basically pro reforms aimed at improving the lot of the population at large, especially those who are suffering most under the status quo.

To me, right means opposing those reforms, in order to maintain the status quo. And in practice often means supporting measures that actually worsen things for parts of the population, on the grounds that the status quo would be under threat if they didn’t.

So do I support open borders? In theory yes, for our utopian future world wouldn't even need borders. Again, it’s not a realistic issue for anyone, anywhere (so far as I know). And does this mean I’d welcome hostile armies into the country? Of course not.

In Australia open borders would have as much chance of major party backing as gun reform would in the US. Lots of people want some change but neither party would touch it (for fear of electoral backlash).

Am I pro immigration? Yes. And I strongly oppose Australia locking up asylum seekers for 10 years or more while ‘processing their claims’. I think that is horrible

Angela Merkel's open door immigration policy has resulted in devastating consequences. So too has the mass migration policies of her friends in Brussels whereby millions of Islamic men have flooded into Europe. It doesn't take much critical thinking to realise that two cultures which are opposed to each other would result in the violence and public division we currently see unfolding around Europe.

Sadly, the worst of it is yet to come.

Some much needed steps being taken to create greater diversity in broadcast media. And note the interviewer didn't shy away from asking the tough questions. Very refreshing.
