New housing minister Clare O’Neil should be reported to the Albanese government’s disinformation register.
Last month, O’Neil was accused of misleading parliament by making up expert evidence on the housing crisis:
Last week, O’Neil then that “Australia is in a housing crisis because we have a housing shortage. To answer this crisis, our country needs to build more homes”:
Conveniently neglecting to mention that the primary reason why we are short on homes is because she, as Home Affairs Minister, let in a record one million net overseas migrants over two years, roughly half a million more than was projected in Labor’s first federal budget in October 2022:
NOM Projection – October 2022Federal Budget
This week, O’Neil boasted about helping to deliver 12 new social homes, as well as increasing Commonwealth Rent Assistance:

12 new social homes against a population increase of 1.4 million since June 2022 when the Albanese government came to office is laughably small.
According to the ABS Population clock, one migrant arrives to live in Australia every 42 seconds, with Australia’s population increasing by one person every 47 seconds:
This extreme population growth is the primary reason why Australia has an imbalance between housing demand and supply:
And why rents have soared across Australia, especially the major capitals:
Spending taxpayer money to cover up the hyperinflation of rents caused by Labor’s extreme immigration is the ultimate gaslighting.
