The genius of these two is that I, as an American with no knowledge of Australian politics and current events, can still follow and appreciate the satire. They boil it down to a universal humor where you can understand what's going on. And it's hilarious.
They are very much geniuses but this is not about Australian politics specifically, but about Neoliberalism which is very much present in Muh'rica and here after the US toppled our democracy and picked a genocidal neoliberal dictator as a replacement, in behalf of the nearly 30.000 tortured, murdered and disappeared, thank you guys for that... The saddest part is that Muh'ricans have done this so many times in so many places that you won't even be able to guess which country and dictator I'm talking about.

I will however concede the point regarding the dribble although I consider it Atypical as I didn't cut and paste from Wikipedia which is the typical way to do it.
Australia is probably by far the biggest recipient of migrants. We take around 300,000 a year which probably doesn't account for all the back door visa's that now exist. In comparison the US take over a million but in a country of 350m that's a drop in the bucket. Germany generally takes around 300,000 with their pop of 80m and even in 2015 the million they took in about matched Australia's normal intake. It has to make you really wonder about anyone who thinks we should do more. All of our boat people were economic migrants just the same as our immigrants. How dumb were our politicians opening overseas detention centres when they should all have been instantly flown back to where they came from.
"We could fit Sydney's entire population in an area smaller than the Eastern Suburbs" What kind of nitwit looks at high population density and goes "Let's have some of that!"?
Every now and then when you are embarrassed by the racists and anti-immigrant factions in your own country it is nice to know that other countries have the same problem, much as I wish they didn't. Good luck chaps.
Being anti-illegal immigrant isn't the same as being anti-immigrant. Legal immigrants are some of the most patriotic and hard working people you will ever meet. Lowering standards for non whites makes you the racist.
