We need to re-visit a long-standing issue I've mentioned time and again... family reunion v Guest Worker visas.
When someone arrives here as an immigrant, they become entitled to family reunion upon receiving citizenship - that means that wives, children and all four grand-parents can arrive here...
Someone explain to me how that is going to resolve the long-term issues of the aged care sector, for one... not to mention the pressure on schools and medical services etc, and not to even dare to mention homing and other infrastructure such as transport corridors etc and social 'cohesion' (or what's left of it).
On top of that, many 'immigrants' come from war-torn and/or impoverished countries where the problems stem from their own government.... and as a result - let us take the example of a Gazan family; they elected Hamas over twenty years ago; two years or so ago Hamas struck a vile blow at Israel and then suffered as a result along with most of Gaza's citizens - so many such arrive here with trauma etc... and thus, upon receiving citizenship or 'bridging visas' become entitled to use NDIS and other services and receive often pension for disability etc... all without ever having turned a sod (or a goat depending on their peccadilloes) in this country.
So the costs of 'immigration' are becoming tremendous, and every problem of 'worker shortage' is being kicked down the road, and in five to ten years, for example again, the aged care sector will be in near-collapse again.
The myth of the 'skilled worker' (to sell petrol at the servo) is, as expected, being rapidly overtaken by the reality of four grand-parents and countless kids in a family reunion, alongside the reality that every increase in population itself demands an increase in actual workers (not to mention the bleeding of the economy of masses of cash being shipped Offshore for several reasons) - and since as much as 90% of 'family reunionists' are non-productive ...... immigration is never going to solve that problem of any claimed shortage of skilled workers.
I say again - we need GUEST WORKER visas for any proven shortfalls and those approved must work in the industry they claim to know about, and not just become more burdens on the economy and the nation and its people.
Prioritising or restricting immigratioin from countries:
1/ Has the existing migrant population from this country been shown to commit crime at a higher per capita rate than the general population?
2/ Has this population shown persistently poor integration outcomes across a set of objective measures?
3/ Has this population imposed a high lifetime fiscal cost compared to the general population?
If the answer to all these questions is no, then the country, whatever it might be, should be at the top of our priority list from which we accept migrants.
If the answer to one of these is yes, then that country should be prioritised lower.
No migration policy could ever be perfect. But it can and should be guided by sensible principles and dispassionate data. Our policy should not be so foolish as to treat all applicant countries equally when evidence shows that outcomes are not equal. That would be as naive as it dangerous.
The primary goal of our migration policy should be to serve the people of Australia. It should not try to be a demonstration of our boundless compassion. There is nothing compassionate or moral about taking steps that, based on the facts of past experience, will likely invite crime, social dislocation or high fiscal burden into our country.
