Australian woman says her country doesn’t have a housing shortage, but rather a migration problem, and that government policies such as higher taxes, high interest rates, and the influx of hundreds of thousands of largely unskilled migrants are driving up costs and putting homeownership out of reach for many Australians.
“From 2022 to 2023, over 739,000 immigrants came in who were meant to be skilled tradespeople. Only 51,655 of them were actually skilled, with just 1,800 being construction workers. And let’s not forget about the 78,000 illegal immigrants currently in Australia. So, we need to lower the cost of living first and focus on the Australian people.”
