Question-
What should Australia's migration intake be?well - I can tell you what it shouldn't be -
it shouldn't be as high as what it is today.
what should it be?Well obviously we've gotta wait and see and we will announce that
in the lead up to the next election.
we've gotta wait and see what it is under this Government
and then we can work out OK what we need to do -
but I can tell you what's too high -
1.6 million people coming into this country over 4 years -
to give your viewers an idea of that -
that is the population of the city of Adelaide.
when we have a housing crisis -
when we have a rental crisis -
when people can't get in to see a doctor -
when we're seeing cuts in our infrastructure -
so the roads aren't being built to deal with that population -
that is too high -
I went to the press club not long after the last election
and said that what we need is a proper plan when it comes to immigration
and set out what that should look like.
