Waiting for economic data: Immigration and Citizenship Minister Chris Evans (ABC News: Damien Larkins)
Video: Migrant flow can be cut, says Evans (ABC News) Federal Immigration Minister Chris Evans says the Government will wait until mid-year financial data is released next month before deciding whether to cut Australia's migrant intake. 下个月见分晓
The Opposition is calling on the Government to scale back its migration program immediately, in response to the impact global economic problems are expected to have on Australia's unemployment rate.
But Mr Evans has told Channel Nine that many migrants contribute strongly to the Australian economy, and address the shortage of skilled workers in certain industries."Clearly if the demand for labour comes off you'd adjust the migration program accordingly," he said.
"We can turn the taps off if we need to.
"But there are still industries with strong demand for labour and we'll just have to talk to industry and make a judgment about what the appropriate level will be once we've got a bit better idea of what's happening in the economy."
Mr Evans says cutting the migrant intake is not necessarily a simple process.
"What we know is that most migrants have better job outcomes than Australians locally, we know that they consume, they buy property, and they're a net positive to the Budget," he said. 部长还是清楚形势的 赞一个 "So while it's easy to call for a slowdown in migration there are actually very strong positive economic impacts that come from migration."
