Australian families are feeling the pinch of the cost-of-living crisis gripping the nation as inflation, record energy bills, and housing costs and rents skyrocket.

The federal government is throwing fuel to this fire by adding more people than the population of Tasmania to our nation over the next two years.

This unsustainable blow-out to migration, tipped to reach a whopping 650,000 extra people in the next two years, will put further pressure on our already struggling transport, health, and education systems, and exacerbate acute housing shortages.

The notional reason given for this new migrant surge is Australia’s current worker shortage crisis.
