Australia already processes a lot of refugees. I'm not of the mind that we shouldn't be taking "boat people" into our country, I really believe everyone deserves a fair go and benefit of the doubt.

That said, Australia has a population of >23Mil. It is not sustainable to allow our population to grow massively when we have such absurd city planning, property prices and employment rate.

I'm unsure what the most sustainable population for Australia is, given that 70% of the country is arid and not conventionally habitable (environment, as well as distance from major cities), but I'm of a mind that we need to be selective and smart as to who is and what cultures are in our country.

Sorry if that comes across as racist, or as if I have a phobia of foreign culture (I'm sure there's a word for that). I want to clarify that I like friendly, considerate people. I don't care about language, religion, race - I just don't want anyone threatening in the country, we have enough bogans as it is..
