(The Sydney Morning Herald)How a conspiracy theory embraced by Trump became mainstream in Australia

Summary
The article warns that far-right anti-immigration narratives are moving into Australia’s political mainstream, as One Nation rises in the polls and the Liberal Party proposes cutting migration to its lowest level since 2009. It highlights the growing influence of ideas such as the “Great Replacement” theory, which falsely portrays non-white immigration as an organised attempt to replace white populations, and “remigration,” which advocates the mass removal of immigrants and their descendants, including legal residents or citizens.

The author argues that these ideas are not merely political rhetoric. Great Replacement ideology has inspired racially motivated violence, including the 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks that killed 51 Muslims. In Australia, figures associated with One Nation have expressed support for remigration or mass deportation policies, while similar ideas have also influenced immigration policy debates in the United States.

The article also challenges claims that Australia is experiencing uncontrolled mass immigration. Pauline Hanson cited roughly 737,000 migrant arrivals in 2022–23, but this was an exceptional post-COVID year and ignored 219,000 departures, leaving net migration at 518,000. Net migration subsequently declined to 306,000 in 2024–25, more than half of which consisted of international students on temporary visas who cannot vote.

Finally, the article stresses Australia’s economic dependence on migration. Migrants account for around 40% of the healthcare workforce, with an even greater role in regional areas. The author therefore argues that drastic immigration restrictions or mass deportation would worsen labour shortages and damage economic growth and essential services. Australia’s immigration debate, the article concludes, should be based on demographic and economic realities rather than fear, racial conspiracy theories, or misleading statistics.
