Below is an extended interview with Dr Cameron Murray on the Fresh Economic Thinking (FET) Podcast, where we discuss in detail Australia’s immigration policy and why it is delivering poor outcomes for Australian living standards.
Topics discussed include:
- How Australia dramatically ramped-up immigration from the mid-2000s.
- The Albanese Government’s migration pacts signed this year with India.
- Official long-term population forecasts.
- Permanent vs temporary migration.
- The student visa scam.
- How Anglo nations are all pursuing the same flawed immigration policy.
- The system is built around the quantity of immigration over quality and increases inequality.
- How the “racism” card is used to stifle debate around immigration.
- How houses, infrastructure and services never keep up with population growth, lowering the quality of life.
- Environmental impacts of mass immigration (including water supplies).
- How our major cities are experiencing dis-economies of scale from immigration.
- Why the federal government and the Australian Treasury love ‘Big Australia’ immigration.
- Why the ‘open borders’ folk have it wrong when they use ‘global welfare’ arguments to promote mass immigration.
