As some of our states continue to live in a “zero COVID” fantasy and insist on keeping borders shut, there’s a growing belief among those in the federal government that immigration is going to be the key to driving Australia’s economy forward. And they’re right.
As a professor of practice at UNSW Sydney, I’ve also seen firsthand how the lack of international students is really hurting us as a nation. It’s not just the positive financial contributions they make, but rather the fact that many graduates fall in love with the country and choose to live and work here thereafter.
Because they don’t notice zero wage growth over the decade?
That means we need cheapest workforce,lowest pay no entitles? Most like not to be a ordinary worker but forced to been on Australia Business Number, Employers claimed the foreign workforce working hard can't report concerns, chat up or return back from where you come from?
Says the property developer... Sickening greed.
BS! Most of Australia is a desert. Certainly there isn't enough water for a 'Big Australia', and our infrastructure is too poor to sustain one. Rubbish article!!
Looks like a big carbon foot print. Ultimately the environment is in the hands of population growth.
SMH, just so we’re clear, you’re offering a platform to a property developer to weigh in on immigration?! It’s like asking a fox whether we should be bringing in more chickens.
Why ? 10’s of 1000’s can’t get meaningful work 3/4 jobs are part time 1000’s of students temporary visa holders working in the main part time ! When over 50’s can’t find work either
Big Australia. The right wing dream of the greedy.
DEFINITELY NOT! Australia is over populated now. Driest habitable continent insufficient water to sustain a larger population
This is absolute horse shit, high immigration leads to wage suppression, demand side issues with housing and pursuing growth through migration is outright lazy. We need to produce something in Australia before we need the migration. Benefits the few and reduces standard of living
He’s a professor?😳
Unfortunately, Australian is no longer safe for Asians. Pollies and media have been hyping up anti-China rhetorics non-stop. We have an unresolved racism issue!
Where will they go?
You mean wiping out koalas & other threatened species in a grotesque ponzi scheme, to further entrench inequality, destroy our quality of life, reduce wages & increase unemployment. AuspolSoCorrupt
Australia will get 100m uninvited immigrants when the Asian water crisis hits.
we need to train and prepare Australians for future challenges and job markets ChrisMinnsMP Dom_Perrottet NSW
Well, how else are we going to suppress wages and pump up the property market.
According to someone with a direct financial interest in continued population growth. auspol
Why don't your opinion writers have to express their conflicts of interest?
No we don’t.
Well obviously, according to Shane, we don’t train people we need anymore. Nowhere in his article does he advocate fixing TAFE nor demand businesses take on apprentices, now that the Gov’t businesses (that used to do it) have been privatised. Cargo Cultist: fly them in to save us
Fact: no we don’t.
Wrong. RBA want wages growth. There is no point lowering rates and spending billions in QE to help wages growth if it does nothing but cause a property bubble and the wages growth gets smothered by mass immigration holding wages down. RBAInfo
'It’s a simple economic equation – our population needs to increase for us to continue to prosper, and as stated by The Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the time for consideration is over.' Ah, well that settles it then.
Translation = Wages are getting to high , we need to drive them down again.
No more Jimmy Grants!
Big Australia is fine as long as its preceeded by proper infrastructure and services. We don’t want the reduction of quality of life due to increase of population
Bunk, an economy based on consumption and digging holes in the ground is not a smart economy ?
Where's the disclaimer marking this as an advertorial for EG Group?
Where's the water coming from? We don't have enough now for the current population.
And less vaccination mandates
To continue to fuel properly price boom - yes
In those rezonings promoted by the EG property Group, productive business and industrial areas are turned into unproductive apartment towers of foreign investors, right in Dom_Perrottet's electorate
Completely agree
No. We. Don't! We need to pay our own people properly and invest more in training them up. PLENTY of people here more than capable of skilled work looking for a job but pay and conditions are just ridiculously poor.
Because house prices aren't high enough.
There are thousands of submissions out of work who are highly skilled , hire them
When will Dom_Perrottet be fronting ICAC CORRUPT auspol Australia
Propaganda mouthpeice gives airtime to property parasite
Another article showing how low the SMH has sunk
Big country. Lots of it unusable.
Of course he supports it as 'Managing Director and co-founder of EG Advisory, a premier rezoning company with expertise in land transformation operating across Australia' In other words, someone who stands to massively benefit from increased migration...
Is a property rezoning consultant just a property developer?
Who in their right mind would want to come here and be ruled by tyrants
Economic growth through population increase is just a ponzi scam. At some point it is unsustainable & a generation will be left with the bill.
Perhaps should disclose; “Shane Geha is the Managing Director and co-founder of EG Advisory, a premier rezoning company with expertise in land transformation operating across Australia.Shane is one of the leading rezoning experts in New South Wales”
No this is completely wrong.
One of the 'leading rezoning experts in New South Wales ' says what? Just once I would like something by non vested interests. Or at least the author should explicitly describe how it would personally benefit them
China 2.0
Usual load of 💩 from Fairfax Huge immigration numbers have: cut our wages limited training opportunities Devastated koala population cut hospital bed coverage by half Made our cities ugly, crowded displaced vulnerable from housing We need to be better, not bigger auspol
