Former Queensland ALP senator, John Black, gave an insightful interview on
ABC Drive, where he explained why the collapse in immigration will lead to higher wage growth for Australian workers – something the Reserve Bank claims is vital to fueling the economic recovery:
Interviewer: “Is it correct that Australia’s economic growth has majorly come from immigration rather than internal productivity improvement”?
John Black: “There’s no doubt that the majority of the growth, which is termed often by economists as ‘lazy growth’, has been from migration. It’s increased the size of the economy, but hasn’t increased the per capita income. So people see the economy getting bigger, but they don’t feel like they are better off”.

Subscriber only Former Queensland workhorse Corey Parker has called on Cowboys coach Todd Payten to work out a better game plan for star forward Jason Taumalolo following criticism of the mentor s tactics on Saturday night. Taumalolo was limited to just 51 minutes in North Queensland s season opener against Penrith - resulting in just 55 running metres from seven hit-ups. It was a significant drop in workrate by the Tongan international s standards, who averaged 192 running metres a game in 2020. The head coach defended his decision to bench Taumalolo during the match, arguing the monster forward had missed opportunities to apply kick-chase pressure in defence.
