"I wasn't talking about immigration, I was talking about the net housing shortfall."
"Reducing the level of international students migration plus the number of universities / merge universities, to balance funding shortfalls, would relieve apartment demand for tiny inner city apartments only. "Australia needs to stop migration for as long a period it takes to build the number of dwellings required to meet the current demand. At the moment there is an annual shortfall plus a huge cumulative shortfall that needs to be bridged. Australia needs to get a position where each year the number of dwellings built exceeds the additional demand that year not the other way around."
