What they're really saying is that corporations rely of wage suppression to maximise profits, and the housing and banking sectors rely on decreasing the number of dwellings per capita to accelerate the housing crisis.

If the government actually gave a shit the rate of immigration would be dependent on investment in housing, services, and infra otherwise all they're doing is driving up the cost of living and reducing quality of life for the existing population.

This bullshit is expected from neoliberal corporate whores.

This is one of Angus Taylors policies. It's still inaccurate though, because if they really gave a shit they'd just build houses enmass. The amount that goes on building housing - even under the housing Australia future fund, is fairly small compared to say, the military budget for a war we're not in.
