[Australia] Immigration adds up, but hard to find net result / The Age, 4 Feb 2006

http://digbig.com/4geha
"AN ABIDING and unshakeable belief of Australian business is that immigration is good for the economy and we need a lot more of it than we're getting.
But is the belief soundly based? According to a Productivity Commission paper on Economic Impacts of Migration and Population Growth, not really. The economic benefits are 'very small'."

The Productivity Commission paper on Economic Impacts of Migration and Population Growth is available on line at: http://www.pc.gov.au/study/migrationandpopulation/positionpaper/migrationandpopulation.pdf
