I get that there needs to be balance in immigration numbers but returning to " the white australia policy " isn't the way to do it .....
No where did I say return to a white australia policy. We have a housing crisis and record numbers of homeless. Flood vicitims from years ago still without homes and this Government has allowed record numbers of immigrants in at a time when we cannot afford it and when we don't have the infrastructure to support it. I am all for immigration of skilled people who will respect our values and way of life, but numbers need to be controlled especially given the circumstances I have outlined above.

Carlo, if we only brought in skilled migrants from similar countries in the commonwealth / asian pacific you would sort it. You don't bring in people who add nothing to your country and then carry on about their ex homeland.
Countries in the Commonwealth and Asia/Pacific are diverse, and whilst some are similar to Australia the majority aren't. Please elaborate on your statement so we can fully understand your meaning.
Your extremely scattered mate, cost of living increases have affected the international economy- can you seriously blame this government for the current housing crisis?? This issue has been mismanaged by both major parties, also putting to a particular race economic and social consequences i.e. who will drive for uber ?? I've been drink numerous times i haven't met one true blue aussie uber driver- and EE question mate have you travelled os? When ? Which country? How where you greeted? Ive travelled os and people abroad love Australians . Mate read who was on the first fleet and how nationalities on that boat - you could do with a history lesson or 2
Despite the bleating from all sides of government, Australia can't meaningfully cut immigration because we rely on it to keep our GDP humming.
Is it an unsustainable Ponzi scheme? Probably. But so is investment housing, and we keep pumping that up to no end.
Immigration isn't the problem...the way our entire economy is structured is the problem. We produce nothing in this country other than digging up minerals (what luck they were under our feet, just like the Beverly Hillbillies) and flipping property to each other.
We hide our lack of productivity and innovation through migration - we import skills and demand. It works until it doesn't. Now we're feeling the impacts. But this system is the same system that enabled the generations before us to flourish and enjoy the best of the best times.
You know why neither of the major parties will change a thing? Because all of their biggest supporters need to keep digging up minerals, and flipping houses, and importing cheap labour.
Immigration isn't the problem and if you think "this major party is good and this one is bad" then you're ignoring the fact that ALL governments since the last world war have propped up this model in Australia. We reap what we sow. The last few generations used up all of the good times and now generations to come have to face the consequences.
Immigration is not the issue , immigration from 3rd world shit holes is the issue and you only need look at Europe to see the issues they cause .
It is both FONG. We can't house what we have here as it is and I agree. Refer to my comment about skilled immigrants and those that value and respect our laws and our values.
Immigration is terrific and has been an engine of growth for our country for decades. But it must work for us. If we don't have enough homes, importing more people will add to that demand. Importing people who go immediately onto welfare is also another head scratcher. If you come here legally with a job lined up in a skilled area and immediately start earning a wage isn't that what it's meant to be? Isn't that the bare minimum? Economists are obsessed with GDP growth but the only metric that truly matters is GDP per capita. How prosperous is each person and is that getting better or worse. What's the point of growing the economic pie by adding more people if it means we're all getting poorer individually.
Surely we're mature enough as a country to have these discussions without being racist or calling people racist for discussing it.
