I am prepared to toast myself a bit here but if you asked this 3 or 4 years ago you would have been flammed alive, now 90% of the comments are backing it. So why has attitudes to immigration changed ?

I mean Australian culture has always had a divide on immigration and who is the "right sort" of person to allow in.

It was the white Australia policy, then Greeks and Italians got the beat up but were let in, the 80s and 90s it was blaming Asian migrants/Indian migrants for everything, 2000s was Lebanese followed by islamophobia.

Look at parties like "sustainable Australia" pretty name for a pretty fashy party haha.
