Budget plan: Australia to open borders next year to bring back migrants

“And those skilled workers play a very important role across the economy, but we’re not going to compromise public safety, or indeed the economic recovery, by moving ahead of the medical advice.”

“We will get back to it over time,” he said. “Obviously, net overseas migration went negative through this crisis. You’ll see Treasury’s forecast for the coming years on Tuesday night, but that again is a pandemic effect, not a permanent change. “Do we want migrants to return to Australia in the same numbers and in the same composition as before the crisis? Our answer should be no,” she wrote.

“By the end of the forecast period in 2023-24, net overseas migration is still not expected to return to pre-COVID-19 levels,” it said. “By 2028-29, net overseas migration is assumed to reach 235,000 per year.” “We might be able to hobble along for a couple of years without it but immigration is really fundamental to Australia,” said Gabriela D’Souza, senior economist at the Committee for the Economic Development of Australia, an independent think tank that began in 1960.

“It’s an interesting point about the money that Australians are spending domestically, the money that otherwise they would have spent overseas. And, as you know, it is not insignificant,” he said.While more than 11.3 million Australian travellers returned from an overseas trip in the year before the pandemic, the number of returning Australians was 1.4 million in the first year of the crisis, with millions of consumers forced to spend their money at home.

How about get the unemployed employed in those positions first.... ohh thats right theyre too good for those jobs

Let’s get through this year safely first.

As long as celebrities can come & go freely, does the rest even really matter?

That's why they are pushing everyone to get the vaccine. Not in our health interests but in the interests of flooding the country with cheap labour.

Students money lost. Bag packers cheap labour lost. Many business suffer because they couldn’t hire migrants to work for them, but why migrants? Because these are the jobs local won’t do. Tourist money lost. Without migrants what AU will be?

CroweDM Australia's governments JoshFrydenberg are unable to learn. Didn't learn from the 2008 oilprice shock warning - build more highways. Didn't learn from 2020 bushfires - build new airports. Didn't learn from high immigration driving up houseprices and urbancongestion

And vaccinations? Particularly in regional/rural areas that don’t have the hubs that are being touted in the metro areas? Setting us up for a “have vs. have not” society

What about looking after the people who are already here. hometobilo

What has happened to the health bureaucrats committee investigating quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers?

Next year in Jerusalem,eh Josh?

'Forever growth' at the cost of our native animals, the biosphere, housing costs, wage levels, training of 🇦🇺 workers Immigration can be positive but must be capped at the post war average, not used by incompetent politicians to push gross GDP figures that don't help us auspol

This govt keeps making announcements with NO follow through.

Economy recovery via migrants is no longer a good method. Look at the divisions created inside Australia. It’s time to take a break and let the current new and old Australians to assimilate.

Do we want migrants as human beings, or as economic/cannon fodder?

Why? The economy is bouncing back fine. In fact, way better than forecast. Is the idea to keep wages growth down - and house prices up high for developers? What is the obsession with endless population growth?

No.1 donors developers & business councils desperate to keep wages in check are applying the blowtorch.

Next year?

Anyone else can't stand Josh's voice, Everytime, either Josh or Scumbo gets on TV, I change Channels, Can't stand all the Fluff and bullshit, just can't stand it anymore !!!!!!!!! (Oh by the way I used to be a LNP Voter )

The Morrison Government doesn’t know what it’s doing or what it stands for
