"There is this idea that migrants do jobs Aussies don't want. There is some truth in that. But what we should be asking is why don't people want them. In short the wages are generally less than stellar. We live in a nation where the average capital city unit rent is $XXX per week or XXXX% of a full time minimum wage. For houses its $XXX per week or XXXX% of a full time minimum wage. Sure these jobs are tough I worked after hours cleaning for years so I know first hand. But the simple reality is if you want a decent independent existence the wages on offer often simply aren't enough let alone"

Historically about XX% of housing finance flowed to investors which was broadly consistent with their share of occupied housing stock.
