Australian Population

[Shado]

75% of Australian's or their Parents were born overseas, we have always been a country of immigrants. We actually have a negative growth rate locally without immigration, so they're not trying to get the country to grow explosively they're trying to prevent us from going backwards. At the moment there is a major labour shortage across the whole country, the unemployment rate is 4.1% which is basically full employment.

Immigration is promoted quite heavily and is not that difficult, although unless you get in on a refugee program you will require skills. They can't just let everyone in and wind up having to pay for them, or grow too fast.
