Government unable to make immigration ‘sustainable’ amid skills shortages

Shadow Immigration Minister Dan Tehan says businesses are still seeing “skill shortages” amid record levels of immigration. “There is no doubt that it is possible and entirely likely,” he said. “The government has not been able to put the policies in place to make it sustainable. “The big, big mess they have made when it comes to immigration is that businesses are still crying out for skilled workers. “Especially in regional and rural Australia they are still saying we need workers.”
