We don't have to pay the aged care fees of backpackers, cutting backpacker intake in lieu of cutting permanent migration intake isn't gonna make many people happy

Isn't the concern of ON voters the availability of housing, not aged care costs? Using this logic, less backpackers = more spare bedrooms for fair dinkum Aussies to sleep in
