More Immigration; More Tents! By James Reed
One of the great tragedies of the present Albo mass immigration program, the complete surrender of policy to Big Australia, is that as in the Great Depression, tent cities have sprouted across the land, like mushrooms. Macrobusiness.com.au asks what sort of a government would do this to its people?
"The federal government's mass immigration policy continues to wreak havoc on Australian renters.
After net overseas migration hit a record 549,000 in 2023, advertised rents have soared by nearly 40% nationally:
The surge in rents is directly correlated with the hyper-growth in population:
As a result, PropTrack's rental affordability index has collapsed to a record low:
The proportion of income used to service rent has also hit an all-time high:
The impact has been especially brutal on lower-income households who are being thrust into deep financial stress, homelessness, or insecure housing arrangements.
A report by 9News encapsulates the pain, with "makeshift campsites and tent cities expanding across south-east Queensland as the state's housing crisis escalates".
"A tent city in Rothwell, in the heart of Premier Steven Miles' electorate of Murrumba, is sprawling".
What sort of nation runs a gigantic immigration program without the means of housing the additional residents?
The Albanese government is responsible for throwing thousands of Australians onto the streets."

The short answer is that this is a government which must be tossed from office. If possible, lawsuits should be made against Albo and co. for the harm done to dispossessed Australians. But I dream. They can do it so long as Aussies remain passive and apathetic.
