Immigration Policy

In reply to the Hon. S.L. GAME ().20 March 2024).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector):

I have been advised:

The federal government has responsibility for immigration.

The state government has released its housing road map that includes the largest ever land release to provide a pipeline of land for housing, to help more South Australians into their own home sooner.

These measures include:

Abolished stamp duty for eligible first-home buyers

Investing $1.25 billion infrastructure to support more homes

Fast-tracking planning approvals, to help build homes faster

Training more workers to build more homes

Modernising and upgrading thousands of public homes, to unlock opportunities for people who need housing security

We've also stopped the sell off of hundreds of public housing properties and building more.

This is in addition to delivering the largest ever cost-of-living package for South Australians, targeted to those on fixed and low incomes who need it most.
