‘Just not sustainable’: Angus Taylor calls for ‘common sense’ on immigration

Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor has called for “common sense” on immigration policy and says record levels of immigration during a housing crisis are “just not sustainable”. Australia’s unemployment rate in February dropped from 4.1 per cent to 3.7 per cent, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. “This is not about being against immigration – it’s about making sure that your immigration levels, and your housing levels, and the rest of the services and the infrastructure are aligned,” Mr Taylor told Sky News Australia. “We’re seeing a housing crisis where not enough new houses are being built at a time when we’ve got record levels of immigration – well, that’s just not sustainable. “It’s common sense this stuff; it’s not complicated.”
