In the years since the global financial crisis successive governments both Labor and Coalition have continued to run extremely high levels of immigration. 

As traffic congestion, overcrowded schools and hospital wait times all worsened as a result of infrastructure failing to keep up, a significant majority of the public has begun to question mass immigration. 

In almost every poll or survey run by researchers or universities from across the ideological spectrum, the message has been the same, Australians have no issue with immigration but we want to hit the brakes to slow it down.
