Regional infrastructure needed to accommodate the 10,000 immigrants arriving weekly

Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce discusses new figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealing Australia is taking 10,000 immigrants per week. “It’s not an argument against people’s creed or colour; it is an argument on just the logic of it,” Mr Joyce told Sky News host James Macpherson. “You can’t do this unless you want to get them into regional areas, and to get them into regional areas, you got to invest in dams and the roads and the infrastructure. “If you don’t do that … they are going to the middle of Sydney, they are going to south west suburbs of Sydney, they are going to the middle of Melbourne, they are going to the middle of Brisbane.”
