Our leaders claim that higher migration lowers the cost per worker of caring for old people.
But higher migration also likely increases the cost per worker of building new infrastructure for more people.
Our leaders should provide clear & authoritative estimates of both costs.
Higher or lower migration - what do Australian voters really want? 🤨
Young Australians are repeatedly told Australia needs high migration to help them pay for an ageing population in coming decades. More migrants mean more workers to share the rising cost of health and aged care.
But that’s not the full story.
More migrants also mean more people. They need roads, railways, schools, hospitals, electricity, water, and other infrastructure. All that must be built and paid for too.

Among British liberals there is a disgusting level of indifference & contempt for working-class Britons.
The data show Arabs, Afghans & Africans are convicted of sexual assault at 2x-7x the UK rate. Working-class British women bear the brunt of this. British liberals don’t care.
Data here:
The Economist's estimate of Britain's age- and sex-standardised conviction rates for sexual offences by the offender's nationality

A bigger Australia will not only be much more diverse.
It will be much denser.
Add another 10-15m people here & not only will our population be much more Asian - the way most of us will be housed in our cities will also be much more Asian.
Goodbye backyards, hello dogboxes.
Building up is cheaper than building out.

If we keep adding millions of foreigners to our population, the plan is to keep cramming most of them into Sydney and Melbourne.
Previous generations endured war & famine & pestilence & no wifi.
Climate alarmists fret about a nice sunny day in the middle of spring.
Hannah Ferguson speaking at a climate rally in Sydney today:
"We are here today, and we have hundreds, if not thousands, of young people standing in the shade in October because we can't stand in the sun because of the overwhelming heat that we are facing."
It was a nice mid-20s day.
Perfectly normal weather for this time of year in Australia. We do get much hotter in the summer.
That's just how our country is. There's nothing unusual about it.
She went on to warn the crowd, "We are staring down the most dangerous summer of our lives in this country."
These people have either been tricked or they're lying.
I’d like to get stoked about big nation-building infrastructure. But whose nation are we building?
Hard to be enthused about projects primarily done to accommodate & enable endless mass immigration rather than making life better for existing Australians.
Former Chief of Army Lieutenant-General Ken Gillespie was the best speaker today.
He gave a clear explanation not only of the operational value of retaining the Victoria Barracks site but the tangible benefits to morale & esprit de corps of preserving our military heritage.
Thousands gathered at Moore Park today to oppose the sale of Victoria Barracks, with former prime ministers John Howard and Tony Abbott helping to ramp up pressure on Anthony Albanese to keep the historic site.

This week’s instalment of my @Aus_Bloodlines series covers another convict ancestor who Grok assumes was very good looking.
Grok also proved to be very helpful in transcribing the ship surgeon’s journal & telling me about how useful stale urine could be on a convict ship.
@alangamlen thinks Australia can’t look after itself without “replenishment” from Africa.

These “experts”focus on one issue - an ageing population - & demand an extreme “solution” while ignoring the impact that “solution” would have on every other issue.
My latest article in @SpectatorOz.
Our leaders tell us that high migration will help spread the cost of caring for more old people. But it also increases the cost of building infrastructure.
I've built a spreadsheet to compare those costs.
But shouldn't our leaders do that?

This is exactly what my wife & did in our late 20s.
We didn't really have this game-plan in mind when we left but working overseas definitely set us up financially for when we returned more than 10 years later.
We need to make Australia work for Australians.
Support for “same-sex marriage” was still very weak 10 years before Obergefell.
Brexit was not on the radar in 2006.
Few people in Australia would have expected a ruling like Tickle v Giggle 10 years ago.
The Overton Window can get pushed a long way in 10 years.
Keep pushing.
Australia’s political & cultural elites have long mocked those of us who retain an affection for & connection with our British heritage.
Tug the forelock. Colonial relics. Apron strings. Cultural cringe.
They want to cut us off from our roots. But they can go & get stuffed.
This was an immense privilege.
The Anglo-Celtic nations face a shared struggle and a common destiny. It is high time we band together to restore our world-beating heritage.
Thank you to @Brit_Aus_Com for the invitation and for organising such a fantastic event.
if someone says we need high migration to help pay for health/aged care for more old people, ask them how much it will cost to build extra infrastructure for those extra migrants.
Those two costs offset each other. But by how much?
We should know that.

BACPAC 2026 was enjoyable, engaging & encouraging.
The vibe in the room was very positive. It was great to see so many young blokes in attendance.
And @Harry_pitt reminded us of how important it is to connect with our distant cousins around the globe.
Thanks @Brit_Aus_Com.
