The cheap points of politics means we have little sensible debate about fixing our migration system so that it works better for everyone, and for the economy. A looming election only appears likely to make sensible debate even more unattainable.

    At the moment, the majority of us agree that immigration is necessary - particularly of skilled workers. We also agree that we need people in some trades desperately. But, it’s a leap to accept unskilled people into tafe courses and apprenticeship programs.

    I see the problems, no idea how to fix them.

    I do know that we can’t discuss it in a sensible debate. Particularly not in an election year.

    The correct Australian answer to that question would be:

    “Yeah, na.”
