Don't be a coward, and talk about demand for housing, which in Australia is driven by sustained mass migration.

The inevitable outcome of this is increasing homelessness, and likely slums when homeless just start building themselves make shift shelter in such large numbers that authorities can't stamp down on it.

We're not supposed to notice that the best thing about migrants (especially the illegal ones!) is that you can cram them 10+ to a house in squalid living conditions that would be abhorrent to most.

It's a price we're willing to pay since we're not paying it.
