Australia has a free immigration agreement with New Zealand where by any New Zealander can fly into Australia and reside as a permanent resident and Australians can fly to New Zealand and do the same. The Australian government should work to strike similar agreements with other nations that have similar political institutions (rule of law) and similar economic circumstances. Examples might include Ireland, Singapore or Canada.

Australia should let anybody in the world come here and reside as a permanent resident so long as they:-
a) Pass a basic medical check. b) Pass a basic criminal check. c) Pay an entry fee. (eg $75000) - the immigration tariff d) Behave themselves once they get here. This would be better than making people wait in queues. It would also allow people who can make an economic contribution to Australia to self select because the immigration tariff would be like an investment that needs to pay a return. It would also allow humanitarian groups to buy a place for really worth cases. And it would help pay for infrastructure. Political reality means that Australia is going to ration entry into this fine land. It is better to ration access to Australia with a simple transparent user pays fee rather than with a long queue and a bureaucrat with a clipboard. |

Why doesn't the whole world just have no immigration and we move around to where we want to go freely and stop being so fucking scared of each other! Why aren't we all working as one?

Permanent residence grants a person basic civil rights (eg free speech, freedom of association).
Citizenship grants a person basic political rights (eg the right to vote). Citizenship should entail a longer waiting period than in does at the moment. We should not be in such a hurry to grant immigrants political rights. They should wait ten years. Of course they should be granted basic civil rights as soon as they arrive. |
