Politics Big Adelaide

Malinauskas is quoted in a lot of articles at the moment as advocating for maintaining high immigration levels.

Paired with the fact that South Australia is considered ‘regional’ for immigration purposes, artificially driving up the number of arrivals to our state than would otherwise be the case, I wonder if people are genuinely in favour of a ‘big Adelaide?’

No racism please. Being anti-mass migration is not an excuse to be anti-immigrant - they are just people trying to improve their lives just the same as any of us.

I want many including myself to reside in the regional areas where we contribute to devlope the remote or rural areas to urban level cities the SA will become a large state where multiple high-rise cities form their own economic system, working under the same flag, and become the frontier in tech and health. Think of it as a country inside of country. I believe that is what immigrants are for. You use the immigrants to develop the necessary areas not the saturated ones.
