Amid the worst rental crisis in living memory, Greens leader Adam Bandt attacked those calling for lower immigration levels to ease demand.
“Well, my view on migration at the moment is this: Labor and Liberal are engaged in a migrant-bashing race to the bottom as a distraction from the real issues facing this country every time that there is a cost-of-living crisis”, Bandt told ABC’s Insiders in May.
“We can build enough homes for everyone to have an affordable place to live, okay? I’m not going to spend the next year in the lead-up to an election blaming migrants for a problem that they didn’t cause”.
