Thanks for answering. > Employees can import foreign labour which has the effect of putting downward pressure on wages. You didn’t cite any sources here, and according to [1] this is wrong. In response to your comments about the rental market, I noticed you picked a source that is overwhelmingly anti-immigration. (I counted 4 more articles either linked or ‘recommended’ that described in varying terms how immigration is the cause of all of Australia’s problems) I don’t say that as a means to ignore the argument, rather I think we’re all better when we can recognise biases - internal and external. According to [2], the rental crisis has been caused by many factors predominantly related to the pandemic rather than immigration. > People don't dare say reduce immigration because then you get called racist. I don’t think an argument should be dismissed on that basis, either! But surely you accept that some who advocate for reducing immigration do so simply because they are racist. Some may avoid the suggestion because they recognise that immigration is longstanding policy and perhaps a defining feature of our country. Some may see that other countries who are less welcoming of migrants are indeed having the same wage/inflation/property problems. So it is possible that some do not reject your argument because they think you are racist but because the argument is not convincing.
