Immigration needs to be handled carefully to not ‘destroy’ Australian industries

Labor MP Andrew Charlton says immigration needs to be managed “very carefully” to make sure important Australian industries aren’t being damaged. Mr Charlton concedes that many Australians think immigration levels are “too high”. “That’s why the government has put in place a plan to halve migration levels by next year from last year,” Mr Charlton said. “As we manage migration levels appropriately, we have to make sure that we do it carefully so we don’t destroy great Australian industries that bring a lot to this country.”
