400,000 homes short and Labor still wants more immigration
Australia’s housing crisis just got worse. Much worse.
A new report from news.com.au warns the national housing shortage could blow out to nearly 400,000 homes within three years.
That’s a national failure.
Construction is going backwards, with just over 175,000 homes built a year in Australia when we need 240,000 to even stay on track.
At the exact same time, people are pouring into the country thanks to Labor’s mass immigration policy.
Net overseas migration has hit 311,000, which is above forecasts and above capacity. It defies common sense.
This is the brutal truth Labor refuses to face. You cannot run record migration into a collapsing housing pipeline and expect anything other than a crisis.
As more people chase fewer homes, prices rise, and rents skyrocket. Young Australians get locked out.
Families are already feeling it. First home buyers are being crushed. Renters are being squeezed. Regional communities are being stretched beyond breaking point.
And what is Labor’s response?
More targets. More spin. More of the same.
Their flagship Housing Accord is already falling short. Their migration numbers are blowing out. Their planning bottlenecks remain untouched.
This is no accident.
Labor has chosen mass immigration over housing supply. Their priority is politics, not putting Australians first.
But reality is catching up. You cannot ignore supply, you cannot ignore infrastructure, and you cannot ignore the simple reality that Australia must grow at a pace we can actually support.
This is about fairness. This is about stability. This is about whether Australians can still afford to live in their own country.
Right now, unless we pause mass immigration soon, affordability will continue slipping away.
