Planning Australia’s 2020/21 Migration Program

This submission sets out the case in support for returning the permanent migration to the planning cap of 190,000 places. The Government’s move to reduce migration to solve our infrastructure shortfalls loses sight of the economic and fiscal benefits promoted by migration, and ultimately places unnecessary restrictions on Australia’s economic growth. The submission also makes the case that regardless of the size of the cap, the proportion of migrants that are employer sponsored should remain proportionally high and as accessible as possible for both regional and urban Australian businesses.
