The Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) issued a statement today calling for all politicians to address the true migration issue with honesty, clarity and good faith.

The professional association for Australian migration service providers worldwide said that "the true migration issues that need to be dealt with are about skills shortages and Australia's reputation abroad, but Government and the Opposition remain locked in an absurd and short-sighted contest to see who can have the fewest boat arrivals and the smallest migration program."
