We also need additional workers to make up many of the material shortages and supply lines that are restricting production. But the problem is not merely one of diverting and training existing workers from jobs they have into the building and construction industry. But demand for immigration is greater when the population is not reproducing itself, even as productivity is not increasing much and as gross domestic needs for goods and services show no sign of abating. As Hansonism has seemed to boom, Labor has responded by setting out to appease both Hanson and some of her supporters, particularly in relation to immigration. No mild reductions to immigration – indeed no slashing reductions – can outdo what Hanson says she wants, or what the Liberals and the Nationals say that they will deliver.
