Business are also abusing the 457 Visa program to suppress wages. Cutting immigration of all kinds would demonstrate that the government acknowledges that its first duty is to its own citizens. But, of course, Australian governments of all colours seem to think that their duty is only to themselves.

The best that immigrant, Mathias Cormann could come up with on the subject is the usual whine that government isn't as 'bad as Labor'.

James Morrow supports Tony Abbott in The Telegraph 23/2/18.

Both major parties are big-Australia junkies. Morrow starts with the Left who see immigration as a way to “remake Australia”, but who “stretch credulity” when they turn every Australia Day into a “festival of self-flagellation”, then “turn on a dime” and demand that even more people are brought here to “colonise”what they refer to as a illegitimate colonial nation.

They tell themselves and everybody else what terrible people Australians are ; how we stole the country from the (maybe) original inhabitants – then they turn around and invite millions of others to do the same thing.

Then there are the “leafy suburbs” mob who are not in the slightest affected by immigrants, because immigrants don't go to the leafy suburbs. Morrow finds it hard not to be cynical about people who punt for mass immigration and multiculturalism, but never see the result, as do those in lower socio-economic suburbs that are being over-run.

Morrow suggests (sigh) another plebiscite like the SSM one (which was not a plebiscite, but a postal opinion poll). No thanks. Polls already show what people think, and it's high bloody time that politicians took notice – it would be cheaper that way.

Peter van Onselen in The Australian writes of “evidence” that the jobs needed to support the hordes of people coming here just will not be there in the future. “Artificial intelligence” will “erode jobs”. Then there is the deliberate outsourcing of jobs to Third World countries, including the skilled jobs like law and accounting. Not a conservative person at all, even he asks whether “ if swelling the population is merely going to swell dole queues and cost of social services”.

The tired old mantra about migrants bringing prosperity is correct - for the 20th Century. But it is no longer happening, and we do not have to bring people here.

Two senior politicians are either stupid or just liars. Trade Minister, Steve Ciobo says that mass immigration does not increase house prices. The Productivity Commission says it does.

Mathias Cormann says the 'experts' agree with mass immigration, when the Australian Population Research Institute says immigration should be halved.

Let's get rid of these dummies posing as politicians.
