As every PM since forever knows: immigration makes GDP go up
And that's all that matters, right?
"For decades, until COVID hit, we used to boast about being the miracle economy. No recession in 30 years! Technically, it was true. Our GDP climbed each and every year. But it was off the back of one of the biggest immigration programs in the developed world. Adding more people adds to the size of your economy."
As if the liberal party will ever become the party of low immigration.
Come on Angus, a sentient cabbage could understand that it won't happen as long as you serve your corporate overlords including the banking and real estate lobbies. They really don't give a hoot where someone comes from, only that they will add to housing demand.
As soon as Right Wing Lobby group is mentioned in an article, you know you're diving into the cesspit. Lobbying IS bribery, and we've got these dark fuckers bribing our politicians.
