pretty sure the halls of Canberra will not be entertaining any of this and will be haughtily laughing down their noses, arrogant in their ignorance of the real world
I applaud you and Senator Roberts for speaking up for men. The Truth is the goal, and it is coming out. What will happen now? Will the AIFS change their ways? Will they acknowledge the damage they've done?
Reading this in Britain with slight surprise, as not that long ago some of our politicians and commentators talked of Australia having a more selective immigration system and better control of illegal migration that we should copy. Yet Bettina Arndt's article reads as though you now have many of the same problems.
I assume it is mostly the same kind of people supporting mass immigration in Australia, and for similar reasons, as here?:
-Businesses wanting to be able to pay lower wages by importing people from poorer countries who will work for less
-People who do not understand that price is determined by supply and demand: more people demanding accommodation, cost of accommodation goes up; increased supply of people competing for jobs, the price of labour (wages) goes down. Yet many can't or won't understand that, and think governments can regulate away the problems, or tax 'the rich' enough to have money for subsidies without ordinary people feeling any ill effects.
-People who support what they think of as progressive policies because they think it makes them more enlightened and better than everyone else, and therefore approach the question not in the spirit of genuine enquiry but to find justifications for what they already want to believe:
'My father was an immigrant and he was a wonderful person, therefore mass immigration must be a good thing'.
'An Indian doctor cured my eye problem, therefore mass immigration must be a good thing'
'You can't be a good person and be against mass immigration because racists and right-wing politicians are against it'.
That's exactly the script and exactly the situation that is occurring, and if you as much as ask a question, someone can easily call you a bigot, racist and a far-right extremist.
it is amazing how many people still think the marches are pro palestinian (of course doesnt describe the true situation) just because of what the mainstream news said at the time. And yes can see the whole DEI BS just wrecking the world before our very eyes.
Has anyone ever thought about the fact that when people’s lives are lost it is often followed by “including women and children”? Why is it that the death of children which is non gender specific suddenly changes when adult lives are lost? Ie only women’s lives should invoke emotion. When they’re children should they invoke emotion, once they turn 18…nothing.
For decades I've been asking where boys stand in "women and children" references. ie When do boys age out of the category of "children"? I've never received a real answer and the most common response has involved taking offense at the question being asked at all. As it stands it's gradually shifting to "women and girls" anyway.
Bettina is a saint, and she is also capable, tenacious, and persistent. She has been raising these same issues for years, providing both old and new evidence, and has suffered being ignored (even in the "conservative" press), being dismissed as a crank, lied about, and being "cancelled". Yet, she persisted even when it seemed like the tide would never turn. Now, we are seeing men's issues emerging from being suppressed (eg. marches which never made it to the feminist MSM) to being seen in parliament, social media and the conservative press - and much of it is due to Bettina's persistence, and her building a following, mainly amongst the people who have seen the plight of men first hand in their own lives, or that of their sons.
The Federal and State Labor governments seem to believe that male voters are not important at all. I urge the majority of male voters to vote against Labor/Greens/Teals at the next elections to make our voices be heard very loudly. Enough of the BS from these inept parties that ignore men’s needs. I myself will vote One Nation Party as they do listen to men
The Labour Party has ‘progressive feminists’ embedded in it. Emilyslist.org.au . As elected officials they should be concerned about all. Not sure they are. The liberals have two similar organisations within it. Given the difficulties currently in the liberals I wonder if those orgs are the ‘commando’ units to tear the party down from within.
And let's not forget how excessive immigration supports the feminist agenda. The lower the earning power of men, the less they appeal to women and the greater the divide between the sexes. After all, we can't have women respecting, valuing or honoring men, now can we.
I got the opportunity to meet you last year and I've not forgotten you. At that time I must have looked like some upstart reporter. I'm really just some dude who went through a divorce, dragged through the courts unjustly, slept in a tent for several months hoping to find somewhere to live.
I was picked up by BRICs Housing before getting a job working for Services Australia. After five and a half months I was terminated for the egregious act of performing bunny rabbit ears behind a senior manager - who then investigated my social media and found that I had spoken against anti white racism in the form of an Aboriginal man calling for the deportation of white Australians. Both of these details are listed on the termination letter!
To top it off some woman called me a nazi last week because I refused her "free Palestine" flyer saying 'I don't want to choose the wrong side of someone else's war. We're all children under God. I just want the war to end.'
Proof of "end "?..... It surely will happen because our N.R. < 1 (I present for you but one example of a change that has happened for the worse during my lifetime).
I am inclined to notice the obvious. e.g. We look after dogs better than we look after our children. Moreover ducks and chickens are better at imprinting their young than mothers whom I see when I am out shopping. And marriages/divorces have been turned into a game like chess. e.g. Andrew has been caught out in a checkmate !
So weird how prams are now pushed from behind the children and the mothers drape opaque nappy squares over the hoods so the child sees nothing and has no interaction with the mother wheeling it around (often in a noisy shooing centre !).
How a society can be so cruel to its young men is astonishing. And when there is a war. guess who gets called up to go away and be shot after their first 20 odd years completely isolated from gaining proficiency with weapons of any sort? Next they will be required to leave sperm in a bank so that their loss in war would have NO EFFECT on the society that failed to nurture them. What does it tell you about the humanity of a gender that is so lacking in empathy that they subject their young men to such a life of disenfranchisement ?
Good point that it will still be men who are expected to go to war, and when there's conscription there will be no call for "gender equality". When the Taliban took over in Afghanistan there were prominent articles about the plight of women and calls to link foreign aid to women's issues in Afghanistan, but when Russia invaded the Ukraine and Ukrainian men were blocked from leaving the country and forced into the army, there were no calls to link military aid to "equality" for these men - many of whom would die.
I particularly like your observation that 20 year old men will be required to learn to shoot and kill, when for most of their lives they've been told to avoid such behaviour, and had weapons removed as toys by their mothers and governments.
Whilst the news isn't great, it lacks the artificial coloring and flavoring that we are accustomed to hearing from mainstream media and pollies.
Senator Alex Antic. A public servant with great potential. Thank you for giving our young men a much overdue voice.
Senator Malcom Roberts. Well done, keep the pressure on AIFS accountability. We are paying for their sins of bias, in tax and policy outcomes.
Scott Challen, what an interview. NOT a career politician. A small businessman, no less or more. Feet firmly placed on the ground in our real world. Caring for the direction that Australia is heading and putting out the hard questions that mainstream media won't publish nor most politicians will answer.
I feel better informed and opinionated from this, great job.
The peak in extra males in the first graph around ages 18-26 is most likely due to overseas students, who then leave after studying (hence the rapid fall off after the peak), rather than taking the jobs of local working class men.
But the damage is done whilst there is this swell in population, creating competition for jobs, housing etc. And many don't leave - see this info:
Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) Report Analysis: A September 2025 JSA study, cited in multiple conservative outlets, estimates that 35-40% of international students who began courses in the early 2010s achieved PR within 10 years—more than double the Treasury's 16% assumption. For students starting in the late 2010s, the rate is projected at 25-30%, still higher than official figures. For non-Chinese students, the rate rises to ~55%. Nationality-specific data shows 77% of Indian and 79% of Nepalese higher education students citing migration potential as a key reason for choosing Australia. Overall, nearly 70% of international higher education students report migration as a motivator.
pretty sure the halls of Canberra will not be entertaining any of this and will be haughtily laughing down their noses, arrogant in their ignorance of the real world
Every single country: The UK, Canada, Australia.
The common denominator is the UK and its offspring are in the process of self destruction.
Aided and abetted by their leaders and universities, media and outside forces. A trilogy if you will, of Communists, Muslims, and Antisemites.
I applaud you and Senator Roberts for speaking up for men. The Truth is the goal, and it is coming out. What will happen now? Will the AIFS change their ways? Will they acknowledge the damage they've done?

Thank you for the work you do in trying to raise awareness of men’s issues. You’re a saint.

To top it off some woman called me a nazi last week because I refused her "free Palestine" flyer saying 'I don't want to choose the wrong side of someone else's war. We're all children under God. I just want the war to end.'
So we can thank God for that atleast!
Bettina: you are following the right path ! The gender war is not over yet, but after Trump, Milei and Meloni 's elections feminsm is doomed.
My historical studies show clearly that all " Victimisms" end badly.
Napoleon returned in power, but to fall at Waterloo !
Feminists are fighting back to no avail: Femism will end in History 's dustbeens .
Julock"
Proof of "end "?..... It surely will happen because our N.R. < 1 (I present for you but one example of a change that has happened for the worse during my lifetime).

Yes. Of course we don't want our wives and daughters going off to war but a bit of GRATITUDE might be NICE :-)
What a great presentation Bettina, thank you.
Whilst the news isn't great, it lacks the artificial coloring and flavoring that we are accustomed to hearing from mainstream media and pollies.
Senator Alex Antic. A public servant with great potential. Thank you for giving our young men a much overdue voice.

Great work Bettina! I am passing this on to Popforum, an online group that discusses population issues with a focus on Australia.
Senator Antic can be contacted at this email address: senator.antic@aph.gov.au
Senator Roberts can be contacted at this email address: senator.roberts@aph.gov.au
it only takes a few minutes to send an email thanking them for their efforts in regards to Men.
Great idea Jamie!
