Migration: Housing

My question is to the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs. Buying a first home is getting harder and harder for young Australians. The share of rental properties available to rent is now 54 per cent below where it was at the start of the pandemic. Yet the Albanese Labor government has granted over 500,000 visas in the last year, with 1.6 million arrivals projected over the next five years. Where on earth will these people live? What additional stress will this record number place on Australia's housing crisis?
