南澳大利亚州总理彼得·马利诺夫斯基在悉尼智库的演讲中强烈反对澳大利亚政治两党因民众情绪和民粹主义压力而削减移民的趋势1。他警告，为政治目的争相削减移民数量是"疯狂"的做法，这样的行动将加剧经济压力1。
澳大利亚政府已设定目标，将净海外移民从约30万人降至2027-28年的22.5万人1。马利诺夫斯基强调了技术移民的重要贡献：根据联邦财政部2021年的估计，澳大利亚本地居民的平均终身净成本为8.5万澳元，而平均技术移民的终身净贡献达19.8万澳元，单个主要技能移民的贡献更高达41.5万澳元1。他进一步指出，削减国际学生数量将自动削减澳大利亚的研究经费1。
马利诺夫斯基的立场建立在澳大利亚工作年龄人口占比下降且生产力增长已放缓20年的背景下1。
South Australia's Premier Peter Malinauskas has called for a robust approach to migration, arguing against a growing bipartisan trend to reduce immigration numbers in response to public sentiment and populist pressures.1 Speaking at a Sydney think tank, Malinauskas warned that cutting migration for political gain would intensify economic strain on the nation.1
The federal government has targeted reducing net overseas migration from approximately 300,000 to 225,000 by 2027-28.1 However, Malinauskas challenged this direction by highlighting the substantial economic contribution of skilled migrants.1 According to 2021 federal treasury estimates, the average lifetime net cost of an Australian resident is AU$85,000, while the average skilled migrant contributes AU$198,000 over their lifetime, with primary skilled migrants contributing AU$415,000.1 Malinauskas characterized the political competition to slash migration numbers as concerning, stating that "this is not unfortunate — this is madness."1
Beyond fiscal considerations, Malinauskas pointed to downstream consequences of immigration cuts.1 Reducing international student numbers would automatically diminish Australia's research funding, he argued.1 This concern reflects broader demographic and economic challenges facing the nation, as the working-age population share has declined and productivity growth has stalled for two decades.1
