Immigration OR Housing
First Dog on the Moon
In the debate over how to tackle Australia’s housing crisis, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton suggested the problem was a result of what he regarded as high immigration levels. In his post-Budget reply, Dutton proposed cutting the permanent migration program from 185,000 to 140,000 for two years to ease competition for scarce housing. First Dog on the Moon outlines some alternative options for dealing with the crisis.
