Translation
Most Australians want immigration to continue
Housing shortage’s biggest objection SYDNEY NSW – According to a survey by the Australian Public Opinion Polls published in the Sydney daily ‘The Sun’, the number of Australians who want at least a continuation of the current flow of immigrants is now a majority, even though a year ago it was still a minority. Only 42 per cent of those questioned now want a reduction in the current immigration flow, compared to 52 per cent a year ago.
The number of respondents who would like to see the current stream maintained increased this year from 29 to 32 per cent, while the percentage who would like to see the flow increase grew from 14 to 21 per cent. Remarkably, around 60 per cent of the men surveyed want to continue or expand the current stream, compared to only 46 per cent of the women surveyed. Politics
Supporters of the Liberal Party and the Country Party favour maintaining or increasing the flow of immigrants. While among Labor Party supporters, the majority want a reduction in immigration. The main reasons for a reduction in the immigration flow are ‘not enough housing’, ‘still too much unemployment’ and ‘not enough immigrants of the right kind’.
Several proponents of maintaining or increasing the current flow stated as conditions ‘provided they are honest’, ‘provided there is more housing’, ‘provided there are more jobs’ and ‘provided there are more migrants of British blood’.
