Opposition immigration spokesperson Scott Morrison said his population policy will not jeopardize Australia's economy.

The opposition released a policy paper on Thursday - a policy that would compute a more "rational" population target than the Treasury's forecast of 36 million by 2050.

The paper stated that the Federal Government contributed to the increase of immigration and opposition will not agree to the government's idea of a "big Australia."

However, questions were already raised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry regarding the policy, saying it could hinder growth within the economy.

In an interview with ABC TV on Friday, Mr. Morrison said the plan was received well with the business sector and admits that its policy will have a range of views.

"I'm sure the business community would like growth to be unfettered and we have as many people as could possibly be jammed in here," he said.

"There are other interests that need to be taken into account."

The opposition leader revealed that the government had limited temporary working visas and said that some regions need more skilled migrants.

Mr. Morrison also refuted claims that his proposed policy was "a dog whistle to racists."

"If some want to commentate that this is some sort of racist dog whistling then I think that's incredibly insulting to Australians who are concerned about the rate of population growth," Mr. Morrison said.
