Wow, yeah.

So you've got to go back a number of years since it last took place.

And as I said, it was brutal when we did lock people out from coming into Australia.

And to get a better handle on this, what number of migrants were kept at bay during the lockout period?

Yeah, and, you know, I should make this comment.

We often hear, oh, that flood was one in 100 years.

I mean, we're not likely to see this ever again in our lifetime.

And a lot of listeners for months have been thinking, how quickly can we turn this migration situation around?

People wonder, when will the normal volume of the international migrants return?

Yeah, and Rich, you mentioned that between 200,000 and 250,000 people used to come into the country every year.

Are these numbers sufficient to meet the shortfall required to keep our population growth on track, and just as importantly, our economy at full employment?

So turning our focus right now to the property market, what do you think will be the impact of rising numbers of migrants coming into Australia regarding the property market itself?

I mean, how can it not?

When you've got so many people coming, the tap being turned back on, how can the property prices not be affected?

Now, we want to get to this contentious question, and that is, is enough being done right now?

What do you think about the government?

Is it doing enough to speed up the processing of migrant applications?

All right, Rich Harvey, on this Friday morning, plenty to take away with that market momentum and migration.

Let's just hope plenty of people keep on coming.

Thanks, Rich.
