Senator WHITTEN (Western Australia) (14:46): Lower and better targeted immigration produces better labour productivity as capital investment catches up to the number of workers. Canada saw this when they cut their immigration. This is not theory.
It's demonstrably true. One Nation's plan would take net overseas migration negative for three years then cap it at 130,000 so investment can catch up and living standards and wages can rise per person. Will Labor support One Nation's well-considered sensible plan to put Australians standard of living first?
