Urgently lower immigration to help solve the housing crisis. Australians are struggling.

The issue

Australia has one of the least affordable housing markets in the world.

It also has one of the largest intakes of migrants in the world.

These two facts are impossible to separate.

Despite being the fourth largest home builder per capita - and having one of the largest proportions of construction workers in the OECD - housing supply still can't keep up with demand. 

The reason for this is simple: Australia is bringing in too many migrants.

Last year alone, we brought in 450,000+ migrants - the highest number ever.

This is after decades of artificially inflating our population by 1.3%+ every year with immigration. 

The result? Homelessness is up 50%. 

Rental availability has plummeted to 1%.

More than 70% of young people believe they’ll never be able to buy a home.

And rent and the cost of living is making it even harder to start a family.

This is destroying the future for Australians.

Economists, ex-RBA Governors and majority of people all agree.

It's time to dramatically lower migration to ease the housing crisis.

If we don't do it now, we may do untold damage to the Australian way of life.

Let's send a message to both major parties and tell them enough is enough. 

Before it's too late.
