Prime Minister, we all support planned migration, but your budget announcement was to bring in 1.5 million people over this five-year period—that's more than the entire population of Adelaide—and you have no plan. Every city is already congested. Infrastructure is cut in this budget. There's no plan for where these people will live during a housing and rental crisis. Economists point out that this is, as an unplanned migration program, inflationary. It's going to keep interest rates higher, for longer. And why didn't the Treasurer make any mention of this in his speech last night?
