We write following the rise in disturbing rhetoric linking Australia’s migration levels to the current housing crisis

Oh please. I don't think you have anything to worry about with any of the major parties. They are full of hot air on this topic, while they might occasionally mention something negative about immigration the truth is they are all for letting in as many of the right type of immigrant at possible as per the wishes of the business council.

And if you think that supply / demand doesn't influence housing prices and wages then I have a selection of bridges you sell you.
