The anti-immigration (policy) proves how out of touch our new Prime Minister is (with reality). There are signs that the Australian Labor Party is getting tough on immigration.
Our country needs a larger population to maintain its high standard of living in our very competitive world. She is a typical small-minded Labor Union person.
Anyone who has studied economics knows that the population of Australia is way too small for a large country.
We need a much larger population to support economies of scale in all areas of production, infrastructure and service delivery. A larger population with our massive supply of natural resources should allow much lower unit costs in all areas and so prices would be much lower.
Mass production and heavy infrastructure investment require a much larger local market of consumers. Everyone would benefit from a much larger population.
The only issue is how it can be planned for with a steady immigration of people with the skills we need to expand our economy to a much more efficient level. – ?
