Record Immigration Perspectives w/ Dr Kirdan Lees and Dave Ananth: 27 September, 2023

A record immigration jump of 96,000 people during the first half of this year has sparked both hopes and fears for our economy. To get to the bottom of this, I got two perspectives: one seeing how the jump would affect consumers, and another seeing how it would affect businesses. 

First Arno spoke to economist Dr Kirdan Lees. They spoke about housing availability, the Super Visa, and the cost of living. 

Next Arno spoke to barrister and contributor to The Indian Weekender Dave Ananth. They spoke about the effect of rising immigration on businesses, and about policy to attract skilled migrants to our country.
