Why are there protests at DP centres?
Is racism involved? For some, yes, but that doesn’t fully explain it.
Are there genuine concerns about services?
Ukrainians are more of an issue in this regard, and we don’t see protests about them.
So what is it?

The reasons people my age have homes:
- we didn't ban bedsits
- we didn't ban co-living
- we didn't have rent controls
- we didn't ban BTR
- we liked property developers
- we let the market work (490k homes in 10 years).
But go ahead and vote Left. I'm sure it will be fine.
