Massive immigration lifted national GDP as expected and delivered their surplus, but it has inevitably increased the cost of living for everyone. And if you think you've seen the worst of it, think again. Unemployment WILL rise in the coming year, the signs are already there pointing to this. Then we will have not only increased cost of living (the immigrants are still here, aren't they?), but decreasing wages as well. The whole country would be in recession by then, not only per capita.
That's when we'll see the reckoning on this policy by Labor. It will probably be remembered as one of the worst moves ever by a Gov in power. Unbelievable...
