    Just let in more immigrants, problem solved in the government’s opinion.

    Migrating to Australia is very expensive so they may even make a return on it.

      We need a plan not just one fix. Governments are supposed to look at the whole picture and make changes so that the economy and society as a whole ‘sings’. They are supposed to make plans for the near, medium and far future. All we’ve had for the past decade is right-wing governments getting into power and then everything they did from then on was about winning the next election at any cost - they were parasites that did nothing to improve pretty much anything, and now we are suffering because of that.

      We need a plan like Germany and Japan had after WWII to transition their destroyed countries into economic powerhouses 30 years later. We need long term planning like Norway has done with their resources and their sovereign fund. Yes we need big-australia immigration but combine it with education improvements and so on - do this and this other thing, and combine it with that because of this reason, and the result of all these things combined will be greater than the sum of their parts.

      If we don’t start planning we will continue to suffer and living standards will continue to nose-dive.
