I had no idea we were anywhere near 27 million. Here’s an archive.org link.
Guardian’s piece | Migration rose by one-third last year to lift Australia’s population by a record 659,000
Gonna need more houses and infrastructure for affordability.
Australia’s population is almost 27 million – and growing at a 70-year high

And hope many houses were we building per 100,000 people back then with now?

Immigration department is playing catch-up. The numbers were a lot lower through 2020-2022.

The sad part is the sliding percentage of children. Who’s going to watch rage on Saturday morning if they disappear

Excellent news for the economy, and by the economy I mean “rich people’s yachts”

Excellent news for a lot of those immigrants too. People do move here willingly for a better life too. Yeah rich people are getting richer but those immigrants and their families (which I am) have a better life too. Not trying to push on you but something can be a win for all.

Perhaps you aren’t aware that we have a housing crisis in Australia.
Record low rental vacancies. Housing is too expensive and scarce for people on median incomes.
The people we import typically have enough money to displace those who don’t. Those who don’t end up homeless. Our politicians don’t give a fuck as many own multiple investment properties.
