Population growth in Australian

Population politics is back in vogue including elements of the White Australia policy (how so last millenium).
 
One, 90 odd percent of the population are immigrants or descendants of immigrants- should our forefathers restricted migration to pommy prisoners and their guards? I don't think so.
 
Two, modern migration is remarkably strict and thus Australia gets a better class of new citizens than some of the offspring of current residents.
 
Three, we will need more people to look after our aging population.
