I’m an immigrant. If you subscribe to the common rhetoric in mainstream news, and coming out of the mouths of rightwing politicians, my very existence here in Australia is in direct opposition to the success of “ordinary” (meaning white) Australians.
Angus Taylor’s budget reply speech last week reinforced the widely held belief that Australia is being swarmed by immigrants, coming to take the jobs, housing and culture of white Australians who automatically are prescribed a right to be here, as if they didn’t arrive by boat or plane at some point, too.
