Orthodox Economics and Immigration Limitation By James Reed

     Migration is destroying Australia. Doe anybody care? Well, even orthodox economic sources are getting a wee bit worried:

“There are some good reasons for Australia to slow the rate of population growth. With the government having little or no influence of birth and death rates, a slowing in the pace of immigration is the only way this can be achieved. There are a number of vital areas of societal well-being which are being undermined by too much of a good thing, in other words, excessive population growth. Importantly house prices, congestion in the cities and stretched infrastructure which is slow and expensive to add to, are all being impacted negatively by too many people for the existing facilities.

There is excess demand for a given level of supply, in other words. It is simple economics at play. Like a doctor looking at symptoms of a problem before looking for the cause and then the cure, there is a clear dissatisfaction with housing affordability, clogged roads, inefficient public transport as well as there being a strong reluctance to pay more tax so that schools, hospitals, power and water services can be expanded. The cure is to trim the immigration levels until these other areas catch up and society and the economy can be more efficient.”

     All common sense stuff, but unfortunately the big side of town does not care about the future, only profits now, and if the country goes down in flames, well, why should we care? So, they must be fought and defeated, and that requires Fred and Rita actually doing something. Don’t forget to spread the good word about the reduce immigration write on, a simple way of telling the pollies that something needs to be done about this issue:
