Should there be a temporary ban on all immigration into the country?
@8PJZ5GB3yrs3Y
Yes, with strict exemptions imposed. No leisure travel. Only essential. Weddings and funerals would be classed as reasons for exemptions.
@42L4BMJ3yrs3Y
I think you misread the question. It's not about whether we should allow people in from overseas. It's about immigration - people coming from other countries to live and work here permanently.
Leisure travel, weddings and funerals have nothing to do with IMMIGRATION.
@967ZZPY1yr1Y
Unfortunately 15% possibly more Australians are homeless and living out on the street. This causes bigger problems which include drug and alcohol use, stealing & robbing to live, even higher mental health illnesses and higher suicide rate etc. I know that there has not been 1 availability for emergency accommodation for nearly 2 months.
@963Z33T1yr1Y
Yes, so we can build our border security.
@95DKVW52yrs2Y
It'll depend on how dangerous the individual is.
@94H28RS2yrs2Y
No, but there should be a ban on non-European immigration into Australia
We should stop giving special treatment for immigrants from the UK and NZ. Any immigrant that’s from a country that’s not hostile to Australia should have an equal chance on immigrating to Australia. Border security should do it’s as usual.
@94DNMGS2yrs2Y
Yes, build up our infrastructure first then allow immigration of only those who have Anglo-Celtic heritage
@942NC2X2yrs2Y
No, but we should reduce and restrict it
Yes, until corona virus slows down and Australia can afford to support its citizens again
@93XZFJ6Independent2yrs2Y
Yes, but only those from hostile nations
@93R3M8Y2yrs2Y
Immigration should be proportionate to Australia’s capacity to accommodate
@93456WC2yrs2Y
No, we need this to be permanent.
@933XZ942yrs2Y
No, but we should reduce the amount of immigrants to Australia to allow for more jobs and housing to go to currently residing Australian citizens and immigrants as the pricing is increasing due to high demand.
@933QC5M2yrs2Y
We should be worrying about the people who already live in this country and helping them get on their feet first
@932D8872yrs2Y
Yes until our economy recovers from the Covid lockdowns & when our own residents are employed
@92Z7Y9Q2yrs2Y
Immigration should be for skilled people and family only
@92X2MYY2yrs2Y
yes, maybe only a slow down. but due to covid reasons
@92CWWHW2yrs2Y
Quotas on immigration to maintain integration and economical flow
@92C5PH82yrs2Y
no, but heavy quarantines and covid testing should be done upon arrival
@929BXT72yrs2Y
No offense to immigrants but Aussies need jobs too
@927ZNDV2yrs2Y
Permanent ban, with exceptions for people from the UK, NZ and CA
No but slow it down and ensure they speak fluent English, are not a threat and are willing to adhere to the Australian way of life i.e. no burkas, they should have to immerse themselves into the community instead of arriving here to build there own communities.
@926SDF62yrs2Y
No, but we should greatly decrease the amount of immigrants we currently allow into the country
Yes for European Migrants and And a limit on Asian Migrants
@8ZX6QFYOne Nation2yrs2Y
No, but there should be more scrutiny on married couples, as many an Australia are scammed, and once the wife has a permanent visa, she will leave him.
@8ZTGP6HOne Nation2yrs2Y
No, but it should be difficult to immigrate if you are not from a commonwealth country.
@8ZJG39M2yrs2Y
Yes, except for critical situation immigrants eg Ukrainian war victims, victims of religious persecution
@8Z7MNP22yrs2Y
No, but focus on European immigration instead of countries with less cultural similarities with us.
Only from high risk nations
No, but it should be drastically reduced. Current numbers are too high.
@8MBS64F3yrs3Y
With COVID 19 still here yes but only temporary.
@8KMKBQZ3yrs3Y
We should decrease the amount of temporary visa holders and focus on allowing more permanent residents to enter to country.
@8KMDJ243yrs3Y
Yes, until the pandemic is resolved or better testing/treatment developed
@8KM45JS3yrs3Y
Only for Muslims and people arriving from Muslim countries
@8KB2SZK3yrs3Y
The Aboriginals should decide.
@8HNBH7KConservatives3yrs3Y
give more funding to correction centers
@8GQMV723yrs3Y
Yes, until covid is over to stop the spread
@8GL6BH83yrs3Y
Temporarily ban due to COVID-19
@8FWC4T83yrs3Y
Capped a a certain number
@8FPJML83yrs3Y
No and we should increase immigration for persecuted Christian minorities. So increase based on religion.
@8FL8DQF3yrs3Y
yes, all immigration should be banned until we get our own poverty under control

No but immigrants should have to prove intention to seek work and add value to society
