Peter Dutton's Focus on Migration Reduction in Budget Reply Speech

Opposition leader Peter Dutton's budget reply speech emphasized cutting permanent migration by 25% to address Australia's housing crisis. This reduction was meant to resonate with concerns of housing affordability and increase the availability of homes. Dutton positioned migration reduction as a key solution to various issues, proposing a significant decrease in permanent migration numbers. However, critics argue that this approach oversimplifies complex challenges and may not effectively address housing or economic concerns.
