The Spin

Left narrative

This decision was made out of necessity. Australia is experiencing an unprecedented housing crisis. The population growth rate has increased by 39 percent this century (+7.4 million), while investment has fallen, driving up rents and increasing the number of people living in group housing. More Australians are being driven into homelessness. Given this context, fine-tuning immigration numbers to calibrate for economic needs is a smart move by the labor-focused Albanese administration.

The Sydney Morning Herald

Right narrative

This strategy, which aims to reduce net migration by 250K people, lacks an end goal and a timeframe for completion. In essence, the strategy is unserious. The plan does not state how the government will accomplish this reduction in four or five years. The Albanese government just keeps saying that it is committed to reducing net migration but has no idea how it will achieve this, which is further complicated by the fact that the administration states that skilled migrant labor is needed in Australia's economy. This policy needs better focus.
