From the time when former Prime Minister Tan Po was still in office, the internal affairs minister Peter Dutton and the re-Prime Minister Tony Abbott proposed reducing immigration, to the new Prime Minister Morrison taking office to affirm the contribution of immigrants, and to the new Prime Minister`s plan to force immigrants to "go to the mountains and go to the countryside" for five years. To the latest new prime minister publicly announced to cut the immigration quota ceiling.
The Liberal Party`s immigration policy has never stopped a day, saying that it is not too much to change by day.
It is true that, as an immigrant country, the quantity and quality of immigration may have a greater impact on Australia than Australians themselves think.
But if you look closely at the previous relationships between Australia`s immigration and economic data over the past few decades, it is not hard to see that the impact of immigration on Australia is far more beneficial than bad.
So why is Australia`s government`s tiresome shift in immigration policy particularly unreliable? And will the change of these policies affect our access to PR?
Today, the editor wants to have a brief talk with everyone about the matter.
Morrison, "on the face."
I believe you must have seen a lot of Morrison in his speech in the past two days, said "enough immigrants, we want to cut immigration" news.
So the editor will not repeat it again, just pick a few more important points to discuss with you.
First of all, Morrison said in his speech that population growth did play a key role in Australia`s economic development, but at the same time, population growth also brought about a series of problems for major cities, such as road congestion and public transport overcrowding. A large number of schools are full and even overstaffed.
"A lot of people are saying, `enough,`" he said. I know exactly what the people are complaining about, and I can hear you all. "
Of course, Morrison also knew that his remarks were at odds with his earlier arguments against reducing immigration and supporting immigration, so he specifically explained that immigration (quotas), in addition to taking into account the economic impact, Also take into account "the mood of the community residents".
In addition, there are references in the relevant news to the surge in the immigrant population, for example,
"immigrants accounted for 58% of Australia`s natural population growth over the past 10 years!" O
"last year alone, the number of immigrants accounted for 70% of Sydney`s total population growth!" Or.
"Sydney has increased the number of immigrants abroad to 90,099!"
Wait.
Beyond that, immigrants have caused a surge in population, which in turn has put a lot of pressure on local infrastructure and housing.
Data is real data, but also incomplete data.
In addition to making up the majority of Australia`s increased population, immigration has also improved Australia`s per capita standard of living and demographic structure.
Immigration has raised Australia`s per capita standard of living by 0.1% of GDP, productivity by 10%, and employment participation over the past 40 years, according to Australian Finance and Economics.
In the 40 years leading up to 2015, per capita GDP grew by 1.7 percent a year, with population drivers accounting for nearly 18 percent, mainly because of the longer working age of migrants.
At the same time, the International Monetary Fund estimates that Australia`s current immigration program has effectively mitigated the negative impact of an ageing population on the economy.
Between 2020 and 2050, Australia`s annual GDP growth rate will increase by between 0.5 and 1 percentage point. In addition, immigrants will also bring a tax contribution of nearly A $7 billion.
The editor believes it is impossible for Morrison to know. And if Mr Morrison were just the former Treasury secretary, he would use the figures to oppose cuts in immigration.
Today, however, Prime Minister Morrison said: "although our country has succeeded, we have been victims of success, particularly Sydney and Melbourne."
In addition to Morrison, the governor of the new state, Gladys Berejiklian, who claimed to be the "daughter of immigrants" in May, recently changed his voice to want to cut immigration by 50 percent in the new state.
How to say, whose tricks are deep, who takes who seriously?
At the end of the news, the prime minister said he had invited governors and major minister to discuss population policy and asked the states to draw up their own population plans for collective discussion at the government Council (COAG) on December 12.
Folk two-pole evaluation
As soon as the news came out, there was a great deal of discussion in an instant.
There are mainly two kinds of voices, supporting and opposing. Needless to say, I believe everyone can guess that support is local, or a small number of people who have taken PR, and the opposition is that we are still on the way to emigrate friends.
The editor intercepted a number of news messages in support of immigration cuts:
"tell us that thousands of overstayers will be deported, what are the English language requirements, how can migrants be restricted to benefits, and whether visas for offenders and their families will be cancelled? It is time to make a serious commitment to the country. "
"since Rudd`s time, the Treasury has been addicted to high immigration growth, and government has struggled to reduce the number of immigrants. Clearly, Sydney and Melbourne are populous, and Mr. Scott Morrison finally listened to the Australian public. "
"Morrison did a good job this time by cutting back the immigration numbers and giving us a chance to go back to life."
Objection to immigration cuts:
"the economy, employment and housing problems are not caused by immigrants. They were caused by government`s failure and vision. Immigration is a convenient scapegoat. "
It is easy to see from these comments that the majority of those who support cuts in immigration are actually in the majority.
In fact, as early as the results of a poll in October, 45% of voters supported the reduction of immigration quotas, while 29% said that the number of immigrants now is acceptable, but not more. Only 23% said they needed to increase the number of immigrants.
Another recent YouGov Galaxy poll shows that Australia`s rich and poor have formed a United front on immigration.
They agreed that Australia should suspend or reduce immigration to ease the pressure on infrastructure, and should require new immigrants to learn English and maintain a strong border protection policy.
It is clear that most Australians, the majority of whom have the right to vote, are opposed to the current number of immigrants.
Do you have any impact on applying for PR?
I`m sure there`s a bit of frustration here, because it seems that the reduction of immigration quotas seems to be a matter of certainty.
So what`s the impact of this series of reforms on our application for the PR?
The editor is also hard to predict. After all, the current plan to cut immigration is proposed by the Liberal Party. If the policy is passed, the official implementation of the plan will be in July next year, and the general election will be over long ago, he said.
According to the results of recent polls, the probability of the Liberal Party winning the next general election is low. If the Liberal Party loses in the general election and it is the Labour party`s turn, it will be even more difficult to predict what the immigration policy will be like.
But we can take a look at the Labour Party`s ideas from the Labour Party`s recent remarks on immigration.
When the city and population minister Alan Tudge announced immigration policies in remote areas in early October, Labour`s front-row MPs made some comments.
Senator Jenny McAllister said government`s remote immigration program was "general and lack of detail."
"our general view is that immigration has always been a great thing for Australia," Jenny McAllister said. We are proud of our multicultural heritage, and we are acutely aware of the economic interests of immigrants in Australia. At the same time, we would also like to talk about how best to ensure that migration is beneficial to our society and economy. "
However, Labour also said that Australia currently has too many working rights temporary population, the Labour Party hopes to strengthen the labour market testing, priority to ensure that Australians, especially in remote areas, can be trained to get jobs.
At the same time, Labour hopes to co-operate with the Liberal Party to participate in the formulation of the immigration plan, but the government did not respond.
（分析研究经验做出结论） sum up
It is not difficult to see from the recent immigration policy, trend, that Australia`s government is clearly planning to screen for higher-quality immigrants, whether by reducing immigration quotas, increasing language skills and working experience, or by leaning towards skilled migrants. All to keep "more valuable" immigrants.
Therefore, the editor gives you a suggestion that no matter how the immigration policy changes, trying to improve their own conditions is the best way to "change with no change", "no moves to win" the best way.
What do you think of the recent reform of immigration policy? You might as well leave a message and discuss it with you.
