00:03Australia's multicultural heartland. Western Sydney is booming. It's also bursting at the
00:11seams and some residents are fed up. The infrastructure certainly hasn't kept with
00:18the speed of the growing population. The sheer amount of people trying to use the same roads.
00:22There's no really a park for kids to play. So most of the kids, you know, they're actually
00:27playing on roads. When the people drive very fast, they're at risk. We have few GPs, very
00:31few GPs here. This community of Riverston in Sydney's North West Growth Corridor is taking
00:38action. We've gone and met the council. We've spoken to them directly, like face to face.
00:43And they're worried social cohesion is fraying. People don't know who to blame. So they're
00:48going to blame the migration because the government system has failed. Experts agree. This is
00:54a lack of planning and a lack of adequate infrastructure issue. Professor Alan Gamlin argues migrants
01:02are copping the blame for everything because the national political debate is focused on
01:08the wrong migration number. We have reduced the net overseas migration by 45%. We are a great
01:14immigrant nation. Make no mistake about it. But not 550,000. If we treat net migration as the
01:21problem, we're supporting the false conclusion that all migration is the problem. That is
01:27clearly not the case. If you drill into the numbers, permanent migration has remained relatively
01:32stable while successive governments have allowed temporary visas to surge. Experts want a more
01:39rigorous national debate that focuses on what they say is the right problem. Regulating the
01:45size of temporary migration while balancing economic needs and community values. Net overseas migration
01:52and putting a target number on all migration is an extremely blunt instrument. We need more
01:57like a surgical knife to go into the migration program and regulate the sort of excessively deregulated
02:03areas of the temporary migration program. A spokesperson for the immigration minister says,
02:09our government is prioritising the skills we need to build homes, run our health and aged care systems
02:14and support the regions, while bringing down net overseas migration by 45%. Meanwhile, residents
02:22in Western Sydney say they can't afford to wait any longer. For me, it is a human rights issue. It's
02:28like a
02:28volcano underneath the surface. Any particular incident can trigger it and the volcano can burst.
02:34foundation for the surface. Any operation could go down. Thank you.
02:39So here is the virus, can you update on pets channel attentively.
02:41Again, I think it's important. I hope you enjoy these cleaning geht there Nieuwoki things.
