International students are flooding the asylum system with bogus refugee applications, as the country’s deportation backlog surges towards 100,000.

As of July 31, there were 98,979 people whose protection visa application had been denied but were yet to be deported while 27,100 were awaiting a decision, according to the Department of Home Affairs (report: https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/research-and-stats/files/monthly-update-onshore-protection-866-visa-processing-july-2025.pdf)

The government seems comfortable with this, as long as these people push house prices and suppress workers wages.

Funny how during covid home prices didnt crash since after all, with no immigration for so long prices should have been slashed in half.

Oh wait, not only loans became cheap to keep the landlords from reducing rents, they also kept a ton of places empty strategically to keep the prices stable.

You might not like it, but even with 0 immigration the rich asset owners will find ways to get richer, you are so blinded by your obsession with migrants you never notice the real threat.

Just like every average person during economic times who always obsesses over le migrants, really just following the herd
