The Australian’s Business Commentator Terry McCrann says there is “no way” for the Australian government to “control” the target number of migrants coming to Australia.
“The numbers could in fact turn out to be much higher, you get people come in on visas, short-term visas, they extend those visas, they change those visas and they stay on,” Mr McCrann told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“So no-one really has any real sense of what the total number of migrants coming into this country will add up to.”
