Anthony Albanese has 'opened the floodgates' on immigration

[@isabeaudemarco8115]

You don’t need immigration. You need the government to get out of the way & let their people live freely.

[@susanc4622]

We've recently moved from a strong Liberal seat to an equally strong Labor seat and I've been very surprised at the different attitudes of the people. Liberal - "live and let live and mind your own business"; Labor - "this is what you should do and how you should be doing it." Maybe, there's more to it than voting preference but it's very noticeable. I've been given more instructions in 5 months than in the previous 20 years.

You are spot on with that comment. I would like to add that very few people in WA understand that our water is drawn in the main from underground aquifers that have coped very well for our population requirements but to emphasise your point the aquifers are not recharging to meet the draw down for the populations requirements and the secondary effects of loss of surface water is starting to happen right now when the federal government insists we have to take in more and more people every year.

No matter who looks at my CV and cover letters I get told they look really good, yet I dont get the interview for some reason. This is not an issue of people unwilling to work to survive, it is an issue of employers being picky or lying about job openings. It's quite common for businesses to lie about an opening to receive benefits like tax subsidies or avoiding certain taxes. Many businesses lie about openings, take on apprentices/trainees anyway for the government money, then turf the trainee out of the job right before they are meant to become full-time. If you're so upset about the dole, go to parliament and have them fix the situation. Also think about how stupid you really are for paying tax and getting upset about people living off your tax when the very government staff letting the dole bludgers exist also take a neat little 120k or 500k a year from you idiots.

There are some really ridiculous comments here by people who obviously have no understanding of economics or the impacts of an immigration program. You can't just "stop" immigration and not expect adverse consequences. A significant proportion of the immigration intake is O/S university students. They are our 2nd or 3rd most important industry. If we stopped it we lose income for the country and added to this would be that we need to reorganise the university sector - and that would cost billions. (Tax - increase university fees by a substantial amount etc) The government has tied O/S students to housing. That seems a sensible idea. The only problem is that, at the moment, we don't have the labour force to build the number of houses required. Most economists agree that some form of immigration is positive and this morning the head of one of the economic think tanks absolutely blasted the Coalitions announcement on immigration, simply because it would have to affect both our workforce (especially in regional areas) and the O/S student intake. Dutton is simply playing on our "fears" re immigrants. The coalition has always supported immigration (except now) Dutton is simply playing the "fear" politics because he has no ideas!!
