"It's probably the fact that economic conditions are holding these things back" - Australia has suffered neither a savage recession nor the shocking inequality of the US - "and that Australia has better managed immigration."
"You haven't really allowed illegal immigration", whereas the US has wilfully tolerated it, partly to keep labour costs down, partly as a sop to the ethnic constituencies. "You've had a lot of criticism of putting people on Nauru and PNG, but that's lanced the boil and staunched the backlash."
The destructive American fad Australia needs to avoid
