Labor MP Daniel Mulino says the Labor government is bringing in measures for migration to bring the numbers down to something more “sustainable”.
“Australia has come out of a period where we had two years of zero migration, and if you look at the decade or two before that we were a very high migration OECD country,” Mr Mulino said.
“We very much supported the previous government’s measures to close the border for the sake of the safety of our country I think that was the right call.
“When we came out of COVID we had incredible labour shortages right across the board and so migration numbers were always going to increase from zero to a number at least temporarily above trend.
