More than 40 housing, homeless and community service organisations have signed an open letter to Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton expressing concern about the treatment of migrant communities as the black goat of the main cause of the housing crisis.
The advocacy group Everybody's Home coordinated the letter, and said that it was absurd to blame the recent increase in migration from abroad as the cause of a housing crisis that has been brewing for decades.
Lately you may have heard from politicians and the media that the cause of the housing crisis in Australia today is the high numbers of migration from overseas.
But a number of housing services and migrant welfare groups argue that this rhetoric is misleading and makes migrants a scapegoat for policy failures occurring in some governments.
