My brother David Sheppard carries the middle name Alexander, named after his Uncle Alexander Sheppard, a man he had never met but who he had heard vague family stories about having a connection with Greece during the war. David married his beautiful, first-generation Greek bride Betty – daughter of Katerina and John Kostoulias – and several years later when their son John was born, they gave him the middle name of Alexander. Until recently our family knew nothing of the deep personal and emotional connection that John’s Great Uncle Alexander had to Greece, and that he was widely known as “The Man Who Loved Greece”.

Politicians and business leaders may want migration to resume as early as next year (“Treasurer banks on reopened borders”, May 10). But I doubt the average Joe, who has faced rising prices on stagnating wages for years in an insecure job market agrees with them. The fact that the federal government fears growth cannot be sustained without migrants to swell our numbers serves as a reminder that the growth model is unsustainable in the long term anyway.
