All the HC lefties were saying how great immigration was when Rudd was pushing his "big Australia" vision, now suddenly they are aghast at the idea of immigration. Funny stuff.
Personally i'm against any immigration that isn't absolutely necessary to fill a skills shortage and then should be very limited and mostly done on temporary visas with only permanent visas given to the most skilled and wealthy and only to a level that maintains a stable population ... and that's regardless of which side of politics is in govt
