immigration has been virtually zero for 2 years.

it has been used for most of the Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison merry go round terms to prop up the GDP and revenue results.

it was a policy ("Big Australia") established by Howard top ensure there are sufficient taxpayers to cover the social welfare expenses.

the recent suspension was due to Morrison's locked border policy.

immigration is a means of increasing the size of the economy without causing inflationary pressures.

it makes sense that immigration be resumed.

It cheaper to just adapt. Social welfare cost can be easily met by the current generation. And you ignore the infrastructure cost of high population growth which amounted to 10's of billions per year.
