Dutton promises to cut migration and refugee intake to reduce housing pressure

Opposition leader Peter Dutton has pledged to slash migration to help take pressure off housing.

Mr Dutton has proposed only 140,000 migrants be let into Australia, or a 25 per cent cut and suggested only 13,750 refugees be taken in or a 33 per cent cut.

He also proposed a ban on foreign investors buying properties – however, Labor claims it would barely make a difference.
