    "That would crash house prices as drastically
    cutting migrants would reduce tenants and
    home-buyers. Markets would plunge."

    Good, the property market needs a good correction, currently it is unsustainable. It is one of the factors leading to Australia's overall uncompetitiveness, as property values feed into wages.

    "Drastically cutting migrants would cut retail
    sales. Retailer share values would plunge."

    Babies require much more retail spending that migrants, also a cheaper property market would lead to cheaper commercial rents which would help retailers/

    "To shut the gate on migrants and refugees
    is to shut the gate on Australia's prosperity."

    Not if we have an adequate birth rate.

    "Besides, who would do Australia's Dirty Work
    of cleaning pub toilets and emptying nursing
    home and hospital bed-pans and slaughtering
    bullocks: graduates from Melbourne Grammar?"

    Only migrants are suitable for this line of work? Or is welfare too generous, allowing people to become too picky?
