This is Treason
The Australian Labor Party is betraying Australia by pursuing high immigration policies that prioritise donor interests over the national good.
Australia faces severe challenges: a deepening housing crisis, record homelessness, young families priced out of home ownership, stagnant real wages, congested cities, overburdened services, environmental strain, and eroding social cohesion. Much of this stems from rapid population growth driven by high levels of net overseas migration (NOM).
While the government points to economic needs, the real drivers appear tied to vested interests that fund the Australian Labor Party (ALP). Corporations gain from larger markets and cheaper labour. Trade unions, particularly those in construction like the CFMEU, benefit from the surge in infrastructure projects needed to accommodate more people.
Australia's five-year Major Public Infrastructure Pipeline (2024-25 to 2028-29) now stands at $242 billion - the highest level on record - largely fuelled by demands for housing, roads, public transport, utilities, schools, and hospitals driven by population growth (Infrastructure Australia, 2025 Infrastructure Market Capacity Report).
Unions like the CFMEU have long supported higher migration levels, aligning at times with business groups such as the Business Council of Australia (BCA). In the lead-up to the 2022 federal election, CFMEU donations to federal Labor reportedly surged, forming a substantial portion of union-sourced funds in some periods. Shortly after Labor's victory, the permanent Migration Program increased from around 160,000 places per year pre-COVID to 195,000 in 2022–23, before settling at 190,000 (2023–24) and 185,000 (2024–25 and 2025–26).
Unions benefit directly: more people mean more construction jobs, potential growth in membership, and sustained work in their sectors - including large-scale projects where opportunities for influence (and allegations of misconduct) have surfaced in recent scandals.
The main donors to the ALP - trade unions, business entities, and industry groups - all stand to gain from policies that drive population growth and infrastructure spending. This creates a clear conflict: policies appear shaped more by donor benefits than by the long-term interests of ordinary Australians facing higher costs, lower affordability, and strained services.
Australians deserve policies that put national well-being first - not the financial interests of political donors. High immigration should serve the country, not the other way around. It's time for genuine reform: lower, more managed intake levels aligned with housing supply, infrastructure delivery, and wage protection for Australian workers.
Treason is the crime of betraying one's country. The government is committing treason by selling out the country to vested interests for the filthy lucre of political donations.
