Great article from Stephen: thanks. It has all been said and totally ignored by the Lab/Libs.For regular updates on this destruction of Australia please visit Sustainable Population Aust

What would happen if Australia halted its immigration intake?

According to the Sydney Morning Herald - population growth
would halve. Economic growth would falter. Our workforce
would age quicker. The federal budget would blow out -
with no new migrants arriving there would be fewer working
people to pay the income tax needed to support an ageing population.

Education and tourism would suffer. It would be harder to find
healthcare professional staff )doctor's nurses). Universities
would collapse without international student's income.

And the list goes on. So there you have it according to the
Sydney Morning Herald. "You'd have lower growth, a budget
blowout, skills shortages, and jobs put at risk. Therefore
proponents of halting migration should be careful what they
wish for~"

Very bold statements from the SMH, and certainly not what demographers and experts on population have been saying. I wonder where the SMH came by its theories.

Foxy,
Probably nothing positive because the future problems have already been imported & are already 3rd generation here !
Halting the intake would only make the gene pool here more contaminated but sensible, non-emotional immigration can work in favour for Australia !
To do that we need a Nation building focus on improving mentality vis a Civilian Service !

Foxy, we already know from COVID, what would happen, if we halted the immigration intake, see my last piece here:

Unemployment fell to record lows, GDP and commodity exports motored on, voters really liked it. But Morrison and Albanese were horrified.

That's precisely why LibLab has thrown immigration back into overdrive, with such indecent haste. They want voters to forget, how nice life is, without the totally unnecessary pressure, of endless mass migration.

Economists say that a drop in migration will have significant
economic consequences for Australia's coronavirus recovery.
Migrants are workers, taxpayers, consumers and big players in
the housing market. Many economists believe they also play
a role in driving long term innovation and productivity.

Population growth and economic growth exist side by side and
migrants have historically played quite a big role in both.
According to CEO John Daley of the Grattan Institute.

Associate professor University of Sydney migration expert,
Anna Boucher said that the coronavirus crisis has laid bare
how reliant Australia is on migrants noting that the 2019
federal budget surplus showed the government's much touted
surplus was predicted upon higher levels of net overseas
migration. "Without very high net overseas migration we would
not have a budget surplus" Prof. Boucher said.
