CANBERRA – Alright, alright, alright! The Coalition, bless their hearts, is finally addressing the elephant in the room: our island nation is bursting at the seams thanks to open-border policies that would make even George Soros blush. Angus Taylor, stepping up after that Farrer smackdown, is proposing to tie immigration to the number of actual, physical houses being built. Groundbreaking, I know.

This isn't rocket science, folks. It's basic supply and demand. We’ve got hordes of newcomers flooding in (thanks, Labor!), while builders can’t keep up thanks to red tape, virtue-signaling green policies, and a general lack of common sense. The result? Skyrocketing rents, insane house prices, and young Aussies forced to live in their parents' basement until they’re 40. Sad!

Taylor’s plan is simple: the Housing Minister gets to play accountant, counting up all the new houses built each year. That number becomes the hard cap on net overseas migration. Translation: if we only build 100,000 houses, we only let in 100,000 people. Revolutionary, right? Imagine the possibilities!

Of course, the usual suspects are already screeching about xenophobia and racism. They’ll say it’s cruel, inhumane, and probably somehow linked to climate change. But let's be real: Australia isn't a bottomless pit. We have limited resources, limited space, and a limited tolerance for being turned into a giant, overpriced apartment complex.

And let's not forget the $5 billion housing infrastructure fund! Maybe, just maybe, that’ll grease the wheels and get some actual construction happening. And the planned “weakening” (read: sensible reform) of the national construction code? Hallelujah! No more virtue signaling with energy-efficient toilets that don't flush. Build 'em fast, build 'em cheap, and build 'em now!

Last year, we built a measly 172,657 houses while importing a whopping 306,000 people. Those numbers don't lie. It's a Ponzi scheme, plain and simple. Labor pumps up the population to juice the GDP, while everyone else gets screwed. Taylor's plan is a much-needed dose of reality.

Of course, the bureaucrats will try to weasel out of it. They’ll claim net overseas migration is “difficult to control.” Sure, Jan. Maybe if we stopped handing out visas like candy and started prioritizing skilled workers who actually contribute to society, we'd be in better shape.
