With a shrinking population in comparison to other states, South Australia is in great need of skilled migrants. We want the government to base migration on a regional basis, using a three-tiered system where annual population growth under 10,000 should have the highest immigration rates, then 10,000 to 50,000 and then beyond 50,000. This will provide crucial assistance to regional areas in South Australia whilst easing congestion in the eastern state cities.
