Adelaide Airport managing director Brenton Cox has labelled immigration critics “economically illiterate”, arguing that lower immigration levels would hinder growth and hinder housing supply.
“Those things (people say) like people coming to Australia are ‘taking jobs and taking our houses’… But the macro (economic) work absolutely disproves that”.
“It makes clear (immigrants) are creating jobs and building houses”, Cox was reported as saying at the Future SA 2026 summit.
