在new.au上看到的，大致是讲澳洲迎来了baby boom，要开始控制人口了，stop kiwi migration to Australia（在这之前新西兰人是可以无条件进入澳洲工作定居的），同时减少技术移民配额，大家看看吧，这可以看出今后澳洲移民政策的趋势了吧，呵呵
In a challenge to his leader, PM Kevin Rudd, Mr Thomson last night spelled out the details of his plan to deal with the population explosion.
Population is now a runaway train," he said in a speech to a community group in North Melbourne.
Mr Thomson called for annual net immigration to be slashed from more than 200,000 now to just 70,000.
This would stabilise the population at 26 million by 2050, instead of the 35 million predicted by the Government.
Under the Thomson plan:
SKILLED migrant numbers would be cut from 114,000 to 25,000 a year and refugees would rise by 6000 to 20,000.
THE baby bonus would be abolished and family payments cut to lower the fertility rate.
Mr Thomson, who heads the Parliament's joint standing committee on treaties, said his measures would stop Australia wrecking the environment and force governments to focus on education and training.
"They would address the declining quality of life in our cities, the traffic congestion and the disappearing back yards and open spaces," he said.
Monash University population expert Dr Bob Birrell said Mr Thomson's proposals were refreshing and realistic.
"Population policy is not made in heaven, it's determined by government policy and, currently, Labor policy is to run record high migration," he said.
Despite concern about urban congestion and water shortages, Mr Rudd recently said he was a "big Australia" man.
"I make no apology for that. I actually think it's good news that our population is growing. I think it's good ... for our national security long term, it's good in terms of what we can sustain as a nation," he said. |
