Episode Details

At the Reset the West event in Perth, Liberal heavyweights like Andrew Hastie, Basil Zempilas, and Warren Mundine addressed a crowd of about 240, mostly older attendees. Hastie criticized Labors immigration policies, linking them to strained public services and rising inflation. Zempilas identified lost Australians in outer suburbs, disillusioned with major parties and drawn to One Nation. The event, more moderate than its U.S. counterpart, aimed to rally conservatives and counter One Nations rise. Experts like Martin Drum attribute anti-immigration sentiment to economic worries, but note a paradox: Western Australia businesses, including builders, seek more skilled migrants to address the housing shortage.
