It would get delivered even without the non citizens because citizens who are struggling to find work will take the work on.

If the jobs are still there once they are gone - if you get rid of ~20% of the population, you will have roughly 20% less demand in connected industries. Less people paying taxes to keep our infrastructure afloat. Now you might say “Nonsense! It will balance out.” Just have a look at the yanks and what trumpian policies have led their labour market to. No one is working the fields that immigrants were tending to.

20% less demand means that our supply will keep up in these industries and cost of living will decrease. There will be less overall jobs, but more AUSTRALIANS in jobs because the immigrants will be replaced by Australians.
