Because everyone has a chance to flourish here . Free , high quality school and easy access to education . We have so many rights , welfare and wages that we are unable to build proper infrastructure . Look at our failing roads , failing public transport , the poor excuse for an NBN we got . Without a modern infrastructure , roads , internet etc our country will eventually be outpaced in the global economy . And correct , said builders etc in such countries are dirt poor . As such , everyone strives to be as educated as possible . Insert reference to asian student gets an A and shamed here . Now there are thousands of people lining up to settle in Australia . Looking back at the WW 2 immigrants , they were put to work on building a better nation building infrastructure , roads etc . Yet we have Mr Duzztton and raustralia wanting to obliterate overseas workers , appeal to the loose lyfers and protect the jorbs from them migrants .
