        Agree! We need to cap our population in line with our water capacity - to feed (as in grow food) and provide water for our people. We are a dry nation...lets not become a third world nation thru over population #MurrayDarling #waterisprecious #water #Dams

        Skilled immigration has filled the gaps in Australia’s economy and made it grow and more competitive. If Aus needs to stay top, we need to increase this scheme of immigration. Otherwise forget about world class.

        Abbott is absolutely right that we need breathing space to build infrastructure to catch up with the growth we’ve already experienced (let alone that which is ahead of us). High on the priority list should be an east coast very fast train to connect regions to the big cities

        110,000 pa is still too high. Look around at our crowded roads, schools, public facilities, parks & all the medium to high density apartments going up..we are full. We should have a very limited immigration intake & a carefully generous refugee intake & that's it. @TonyAbbottMHR

        Don't forget to do a swap with Africa. 1 comes in ... 500 go back. You know it makes sense.

        The main problem with @TonyAbbottMHR was the media out to get him, I would love him back, but the media has not gone away. MT is such a disappointment. Hmmm.. Tony... there is a better way @AuConservatives
