        There is no shortage of Australian born citizens that are living on benefits from Centrelink and that will continue to rise in percentage with an ageing population. Immigrants with skills are welcome in this country and benefit the economy from urban cities to regional towns.

        HORSE SHIT you ignoramius. You are counting ALL #rural #Australia as NO POPULATION ... I know to you city based idiots #country #Australians, and farmers don't count but this is insulting ... you even counted the deserts!! We need a gradual increase NOT current rate.

        We need people who can embrace and respect freedom and a peaceful lifestyle. We must ensure new Australians embrace these qualities. No room for exceptions!

        Maybe if Australia was migrating more of a productive people who integrate well into our society, there’d be more support for increased population through immigration. Not all diversity is positive.

        #1 - all those yellow areas are prime agricultural land which is now covered in concrete. #2 - all the grey areas are arid desert where agriculture is impossible.
