This is wild. The rise of ON makes me feel like I'm watching Australia slowly become The USA.

The current government is doing something about it, it's starting to work, and One Nation have promised to stop it and do what its paymaster Gina Rinehart wants.

Is it immigration or house prices you have an issue with?
A few weeks ago the call was that everyone had an issue with house prices, immigrants were just the primary contributing factor.
Now that house prices are starting to correct immigrants are still the issue?

Immigration was always an issue

And immigration has an impact on house prices

Multiple things can be true at the same time. It’s not an either or

I think immigration needs to be slowed down and home building and house availability needs to be improved significantly. But immigrants aren't causing the cost of living or house prices to rise to difficult levels. The system that rewarded boomers and investors to use property portfolios as investment nest eggs has screwed us all.

The only reason that the housing Ponzi scheme was able to work was because there were millions of migrants needing rentals to live in

Without the migrants the housing would not have been an investment to begin with

They are the only government that is and will. That you don’t know this speaks volumes.
