[D]espite the anti-immigration rhetoric allegedly being a response to the housing crisis, immigration is not one of the top ten causes of the housing shortage either.


[A]mong the red ensigns and Nazi regalia, there was not one protest sign about the housing crisis. The racist chanting and violence against people of colour was not a protest about the cost-of-living crisis. It was just racism and it was racism that tended towards the exclusionist idea of a White Australia.

Most people on that march won't really care about the housing issues. If there was no housing shortage they'd find something else. They want an excuse to hate migrants.
