    If Dutton gets in then I seriously give up and will look into moving my family somewhere that gives a shit about it’s tax paying citizens although I assume that’s what they want so they can flood the country with immigrants used to much lower wages and less workers rights

        Depends what kind. During the Howard years, for example, they had a highly publicized campaign about “stopping the boats” and rejecting those seeking asylum, but at the same time Australia’s net immigration increased. During Howard’s first three years in office, Australia’s annual net overseas migration (NOM) averaged 86,000 persons per year. In his last three years in office, NOM averaged 188,000 individuals each year.
