If a country like Australia is having these issues what hope it there for the rest of us. Immigration should always be for the benefit of those already living in a country not to the detriment of them.

That's an opinion peace. She says herself that the economists love it because it it’s great for the economy. She doesn't like it because she doesn't think Australia has enough space

I know it’s an opinion piece but no doubt it reflects a common opinion in Australia.

And it isn’t about space per se but about the creating of all the infrastructures required to accommodate masses more people and all the resulting chaos to the daily lives of everyone in the ever increasing busy cities. The whole ethos of the country is going to change and it is a beautiful country as it is.

She also has a very valid point when pointing out that immigration is supposed to be about the benefits to and welfare of the PEOPLE of Australia first and foremost - not just big business. As someone who claims to speak for the people rather than big business that is a rather a contradictory statement. If Australians feel their lives are going to be affected in a negative way from too much immigration, as people in many countries do, they have a right to their say and to be listened to. And the same applies to every country in this situation.
