There is a solid basis for Price’s strongly expressed concerns about the unannounced un-mandated governmental remaking of the very nature of Australia. This continuing immigration explosion is confirmed not only by the latest ABS details for 2024, but also by last month’s landmark study of Indian immigration by the University of Queensland commissioned by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. ‘The combination of their population size and geographic concentration gives the Indian diaspora a meaningful potential to influence electoral outcomes’. According to the UQ study, (and contrary to the Price assertion) Indian migrants demonstrate fluid partisan attachments; unlike longer-established migrant communities, they are slow to form entrenched political loyalties. In alienating Indian immigrants who, coming from the world’s biggest democracy, do share Australian democratic values, Price could not have picked a worse community to offend.
