Good for the economy, but not for wage growth - that's the prediction of Reserve Bank of Australia governor Phillip Lowe when it comes to migration. He says while Australia's highest levels of migration had helped boost the economy, in some cases it left businesses without an incentive to train local workers. However, the Committee for Economic Development of Australia says analysis of migration data proves otherwise. That story by Dom Vukovic and Sofija Petrovic for SBS News, produced by Praba Maheswaran for SBS Tamil.
