Australia's rental market is a battleground, and single mum Bonnie Cameron's story, rejected from a dozen Melbourne rentals despite offering $17,000 upfront, exposes its human toll. Published on September 25, 2025, her ordeal reflects a broader crisis caused by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's ("Albo's") record-breaking immigration program, with 510,000 net overseas migrants in 2024-25. Vacancy rates languish at 1.2%, rents average $653.50 nationally ($747.70 in capitals), and only 2.6% of listings are affordable for a minimum-wage single parent with two kids, per Anglicare's 2025 Snapshot. This post, an expression of outrage, examines how Albo's migration surge exacerbates housing unaffordability, rooted in a colonial legacy of using immigration to inflate land prices and secure cheap labour, leaving vulnerable Australians like Cameron facing homelessness and despair.
The Human Toll: Single Parents on the Brink
Bonnie Cameron, 27, offered $17,000 upfront for $550-600 weekly rentals, yet faced rejection 12 times, her panic mounting as shelters turned her away. Single parents, 80% women, bear 25% of Australia's 122,000 homeless (up 5.2% in 2024), per ABS. Tenants Victoria's Hannah Gray highlights their "unfair burden," competing against dual-income households while spending 34-64% of income on substandard homes. Mental health crises afflict 40% of single parents, per Beyond Blue, with evictions up 20% in 2025. Kids face 15% higher school absenteeism in low-income rentals, per ACARA, as families couch-surf or skip meals. X users like @AusMumStruggle lament: "Albo's 500k migrants? My kids sleep in a car 'cause rents doubled."
Immigration's Role: Supply-Demand Mismatch
Net migration hit 510,000 in 2024-25, with 447,000 to May 2025, per ABS. Treasury projects 260,000 in 2025-26, while Ley's Coalition pushes for 160,000 to ease rentals. Australia builds 160,000-180,000 homes yearly against a 250,000 need, per Colitco. Temporary migrants (students, workers) drive rental demand, per Grattan's Brendan Coates, with SQM noting 4.6% rent hikes to August 2025. Negative gearing and CGT discounts divert 60% of supply to investors, per the Australia Institute, locking out first-timers.
Immigration has long served the globalist elites of the day.The 1788 First Fleet brought convict labour. Wakefield's 1830s model sold land high to fund migration, creating a labour surplus. By 1850, 357,000 Brits arrived, 70% assisted, for low-wage wool and sheep work. Gold rush "coolies" faced taxes and riots, scapegoated for wage suppression. Post-WWII, 200,000 Brits fuelled factories, inflating urban land. Then came the post-1947 immigration moving away from British migration, leading inevitably to the Asianisation of today and the present woke anti-white Australia. In 2025, Albo's $33.9 billion migrant-driven GDP Ponzi scheme mirrors this, filling low-wage roles while rents and prices (Melbourne median: $937,479) soar, crushing ordinary Aussies in favour of Labor's globalist masters, and the Great White Replacement. The party that once championed the white Australia policy now champions the non-White-eliminate-Australia-policy!
Cap investor tax breaks, mandate 250,000 builds yearly, tie migration to supply, and fund shelters. Cameron's plea, "Don't judge a book by its cover," and Gray's note that single parents are reliable tenants, demand fairness. Cameron secured a rental and job, but her story underscores systemic failure. @HousingHorror: "From convicts to students — same game: Cheap hands, dear homes."
Albo's migration boom, echoing the globalist greed of the elites, enriches investors while pushing single parents, and ordinary Aussies into crisis. Reforms and compassion can break the cycle; Australia must house its own before importing more. In fact, let's stop this immigration scam right now and defeat globalism, before it eliminates what is left of traditional Australia!
