Australian immigration

The broad acceptance of multiculturalism that has defined Australia over the past 60 or more years is in danger of disintegrating, a new report says.

The Coalition, Greens and crossbench senators voted to refer the legislation to an inquiry, stymying Labor’s attempt for a quick fix to its immigration woes.

Despite the rush to pass emergency laws in December, no community safety or supervision orders have been applied for.

‘Government has a role in building houses to help remedy the housing shortage, but it’s housing affordability that is a potential disruptor for our business.’

Immigration may not be a substitute for economic growth through productivity.

The total reduction in the intake over five years is just 185,000 people—or just 37,000 people on average per year.

With genuine housing shortages and infrastructure bottlenecks, the ‘big Australia’ concept unsurprisingly no longer enjoys the favour it might have once had.

Some estimates say the overall strategy will halve Australia’s net migration within 2 years.

Within days, 4 of the almost 150 people freed from detention have been arrested on charges ranging from breaching curfew to indecent assault.

The man is the fourth former immigration detainee to be charged since the High Court ruling overturned indefinite detention on Nov. 8.

Previous Coalition attorneys general had refused to permit the AHRC to intervene in contentious cases.
