There is a housing and accommodation crisis across the West, especially in the US and Australia. Now, I have not seen the issue of squatters being raised in the Australian media, but there is no reason to think that this problem here in the US will not arise in Australia as well, as the Great Replacement by mass immigration continues. Here is a sample of what could come, at the ground level.
Squatters invaded a Texas woman's home, turned it in to a drug den, then her chattels were sold off. To top it off, police, who are supposed to protect private property, if they do anything useful, have said that there is nothing they can do. I expect that in the near future, people in such a plight will be hiring those who do know what to do; a prediction, not a recommendation.

"Squatters turned a Texas woman's home into a "drug den" and sold her possessions at a yard sale — but police told her they couldn't do anything about it.
Terri Boyette was in Florida caring for her sick mother when a friend called to tell her someone had squatted her Dallas-area home.
She had previously hired workers to renovate her house, but after she left a painter had broken in and wrecked the place, leaving crack pipes in her oven and needles in a drawer, Boyette told The Post.
It took six months for Boyette to get her home back and now she says her belongings have been either damaged beyond repair or sold, with her bed now situated in the backyard, a bike and scooter in her shower and trash and dirty dishes all over the home.
"All my stuff has been sold through the yard sale and online," Boyett said, adding: "Apparently he was letting people rent from him."
Boyette had told the workers to leave before she left for Florida, but the squatter broke in and wouldn't leave.
