I am sorry but the study you are citing is just appallingly bad. The quantitative claim it actually makes is that "after controlling for one measure of rents, more international students are not associated with increases in another measure". It would fail an undergrad econometrics course.

I strongly support immigration. I think that the impact of especially international students is overrated as a factor in housing costs.
I do not think making the claim that "immigration requires building more homes" is blaming immigration for rising housing costs, it is acknowledging reality.

Genuine question- is your position that immigration has, all else equal, no impact on housing costs?

Multiple university faculties, multinational companies, large local businesses, sizeable professional firms.
All incapable of doing the right thing! I don't think Australian minimum wage standards are too high, but they're clearly too complex.

I'm strongly anti online and sports gambling. Casinos I see as just formalising something that's always going to exist, and this is a fine enough building to put one in

There are two trains both going to Newcastle on opposite sides of the platform and people have been shuffled between the two about 5 times. Not optimistic about my chances
