In September last year, the Albanese Government held its Jobs & Skills Summit, which featured hand-picked representatives with the express purpose of gaining a fake consensus to ramp-up immigration to record levels.
Labor used this Summit to announce that immigration would be lifted via:
- Increasing the permanent (non-humanitarian) migrant intake to a record high 195,000 people a year (up 35,000).
- Increasing the number of hours international students can work and how long they can stay after they finish their studies.
- Committing 500 new staff and $42 million of funding to clear contrived ‘visa backlogs’.
