The govt has never said that either

In fact they are now saying that skilled migrants
won't be allowed to bring family, they get to stay
back where they come from where the cost of
the kids and spouse are much lower

But skilling our own instead of importing skilled
migrants has the same result in that regard and
doesn't contribute to an increased demand for
housing

But they can share houses if they
aren't allowed to bring the family
just like pollys do with where they
stay when in canberra when
parliament is in session

But its all academic anyway given that fuck
all skilled migrants will show up here when
they aren't allowed to bring any family

Complete and utter bullshit

My mates don't earn anything like that in sydney and

No one except Hanson ever claimed it is just amout immigration

And the reality is that everyone is actually building megamansions

work and none of whom even earn enough income to pay any
income tax at all
