“However, the Coalition linking immigration to the housing crisis makes little sense. The housing crisis has not just appeared in the last 2 years, it has been getting worse for more than two decades.

But what about the claim that immigration and the population have been rapidly growing? It is certainly true that net migration has been higher in the last few years. But that was after an extraordinary period where the boarders were shut, we saw more people leaving the country and entering it, and the Australian population went down. Even more extraordinary – during that period of border closures, house prices rose 25% in little over a year.”
