- Australia's immigration rate, relative to its size, has been much higher than Britain's in recent years. The country is 32% foreign-born compared with 16% in Britain (one of the highest foreign-born populations in the western world). In some ways it's surprising the backlash didn't come sooner
- Nobody in Britain pays any attention to Australian politics, but One Nation overtaking the Coalition in the polls has distinct parallels with Reform leading the Conservatives. Parties on the radical right are coming for centre right parties across the world... Poll via AFR / RedBridge Accent.
- Of course in practice the relationship between immigration and hard-right parties is not that simple. In Europe they are negatively correlated! www.economist.com/graphic-deta...
