Australia does not need more migrants. Our entire economy is a Ponzi scheme based around immigration driving ever higher house prices. The more the major parties ignore this issue the more power it gives to those on the political extremes.
The issue with the boats is it would not be a few hundred people for very long as the Europeans have found out over the last few years.
- woah 8y agoMaybe you need to build more houses? This kind of denial of reality and xenophobia is rampant in SF as well.
- danieltillett 8y agoWe re building masses of houses. The problem is not the building of houses, but the not building of all the infrustructure required to support all the new residents - roads, schools, hospitals, public transport, sewerage, electricity, water, etc. It is not xenophobia to want to see responsible development where development only occurs when it is supported by the infrustucture. If we can't afford to build the infrustucture then don't create the housing.
