others to contribute as well. Also what about his
family members? Don t any of them visit him?

Immigration provides 60 per cent of our annual population increase and is thus a significant contributor to Australia s economic and employment growth. Plainly, we need to find a safe, secure and economical way to restart the immigration program (160,000 immigrants per annum) during the Covid 19 pandemic and, in addition, to allow increased repatriation of Australians and Australian residents.
