They both end up with the same result. There's no point splitting hairs over this, Howard boosted immigration, not because he gave a **** about helping who came in, but because if enough of those people came in it would boost GDP. That's Neo-liberal economics in a nutshell.I believe you are confusing Trade Globalisation and Thought/Belief/Civil Globalisation.
Greens push the latter to the beat of their own drum.

Oh come on Ves, boosting GDP via immigration is one thing, boosting the electoral prospects of the socialist left is quite another.They both end up with the same result.

The people admitted are vastly different.
You don't think that all the migrants Howard let in would have been grateful to him ?
Neo-liberalism doesn't make any distinction in who gets let in - that's the whole point. People are just more numbers. If you have a look how GDP is calculated to perpetuate the 'growth narrative' the modern world is obsessed with you will quickly realize that it doesn't matter who you let in, they all boost GDP.Oh come on Ves, boosting GDP via immigration is one thing, boosting the electoral prospects of the socialist left is quite another.

That also boosts GDP. I think you're confusing GDP with productivity.Possibly, but at least they would've boosted gdp instead living off our collective and unwilling largesse.
Islam has to be stopped.......Strong action is needed.

Nothing like stitching your Philipino maid you just raped for some Capitally punished mis-demeaned. No mixed messages there....
A little bit of 'hate to beget hate' mate...
Can anyone believe the head of ASIO claims there is no connection between refugees and terrorism.

But apparently letting the 'wrong' people in is just a 'leftist' problem.
Fair point if we are talking gross GDP, but while immigrants relying on welfare might boost GDP, it can't boost GDP *per capita*. Productive people prepared o put their nose to the grindstone will at least maintain this measure and potentially increase it.
Re your last sentence, it is not apparent, but rather obvious, as per the respective immigration policies.
That pretty much sums up the intent over the long term, no bias whatsoever, just look at their respective policies on a practical basis.Your post is extremely biased if you are suggesting that the majority of immigrants coming here under Liberal government were all industrious and hardworking, while those coming under Labor were bludgers.
There is a spectrum in all cases.
Marxists trying to brianwash the people:
ASIO chief Duncan Lewis who told a Senate hearing last week had no evidence to suggest any connection between refugees and terrorism.
An Australian doctors lobby group has dismissed the 'inherent links' between Islam and terrorism.
I'm not buying it.
And some 94.25% don't buy it either.......They must think we are fools.
