Those coming from Africa or Australia have to go through a points system, people from the EU don't so how can we achieve equality without some restrictions to EU immigration?

We cannot but I do honestly believe that I doubt in the end we will be able to restrict EU migration anyway even when out.
I really think the EU and most of the EU Nations, will expect and demand as a starting point for any meaningful trading deal with the EU, that the UK accepts still, the free movement of EU citizens.
I also believe,the govt and whoever is doing the negotiations, will in the end accept that to get some deal done as quickly as possible.
So, maybe ill advisedly, I hope for reform of that from the UK staying in, rather than leaving.
You are right it is wrong, however successive govts, (and Labour,I would agree, were to blame for likely the start of this), have failed to really address immigration and even begin to do anything about it, until now.
I really think for anyone voting and truly believing, that voting to leave will bring an end to EU free movement of citizens, are in the end going to be sorely and rightly angrily disappointed.
