The shills for Big Australia all have vested business interests which they do not disclose, because that would give the game away. Propaganda tactics Just a few of the shill's tactics, there are many more which consist mostly of omission: Aging population. This myth is their 'big gun', but is also the most easily shot down: migrants age too. Many countries, especially East Asian already have lower birth rates than Australia, and even when people with higher birth rates come here, their birth rate lowers. More people just means more people aging. Skills shortage: this is complete bullshit. More skilled graduates than ever can't find jobs and the underutilisation rate is persistently high. Even if there was a skills shortage for any period of time, this would indicate a need for more focus on education and training, not migration. Only talk about aggregate/headline GDP, rather than GDP per capita Talk fatalistically about the inevitability of 'Big Australia'...
