        You do realise that Judith Sloan and Ross Gittins ( unlikely stable mates, I agree) are going pull this complete crap to pieces. This is a pile of self serving fairy stories.

        Unbelievable. Boosts the pockets of the top 1% maybe. Read this https://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2018/04/stop-the-presses-australian-treasury-likes-mass-immigration/ … for proper analysis. I think it's pretty clear from the comments here and on the SMH article that nobody is buying the BS

        Look at all that growth we missed out on for 70 years by having immigration at only 70,000 pa instead 190,000 plus foreign "students" plus temporary visas of double that! I don't know how I got by being so poor!

        Utter propaganda & complete misleading drivel. Every trite shallow bogus argument under the sun. Complete con. Totally self serving rubbish. One hardly knows where to begin to unpick this snow job.

        Productivity Commission has found the per capita benefit is negligible and I will believe the PC over a bunch of Treasury hacks.

        Who? The PC who used a consrant return to scale model to investigate increasing returns to scale. Unsurprising they found nothing when they deliberately chose not to look.

        Incompetence? Availability bias? Wedded to neoclassical modelling? Who knows? PC analysis is seriously deficient.
