"Populate or Perish"....."Eh?" "What?"

Both the Labor Government and Liberal/National Opposition have announced policies to "stop the boats", at the same time as making noises about restricting immigration.  Both sides also have similar policies on paid maternity/parenting leave.  I think this has something to do with population policy, although I'm not too sure....!

Both government and opposition
Will tighten up on immigration;
Student visas will hit the wall
While uni growth will slow and stall.
Migrant workers will seek in vain
For any visa they can claim,
And bosses will wail and weep,
Overworked, short-handed and too little sleep!

This is a considered policy on population
With performance pay for copulation.

White Australia & Pauline's Shadow

     "The Ethnic Communities Council of Australia says both Labor and the Coalition are fear-mongering and causing migrants to feel marginalised."


     One could be excused for thinking the current election is pandering to policies similar to those of Pauline Hanson, perhaps a resurrection of the White Australia Policy.


From a little town in Wales, she came
To lead us to election.
A pommy refugee by boat,
Practised, now, in political invention.


He was born in London Town
Of Aussie folks, overseas.
Educated at Sydney's best
While practising politics with ease.


Yet, together they seek the bigot's vote
While "White Australia" gets rewrote!
