    Kinda funny that the two main groups the typical One Nation voter is scared of being “swamped” by - Indians and Chinese - are not included in the proposed visa ban.

      Because cutting visas with a national employment rate of 4.5% is economic suicide. Australia will obviously still require a healthy stream if migrant workers if it wants any hope of growth and economic stability. There’s 2.8b people to tap into from those countries.
