Things are

So that's important uh for sort of the consumer sentiment, how are we going and whether the economy's actually making genuine progress for the hard working Australians that are uh in our economy.
It also is important too because it is, as we've been discussing for a long time now, it's a driver of demand for housing.
Population's increasing rapidly, you need houses, whether they're rented or bought in a wa in a way doesn't matter in the short term, but there's pressure in the housing market.
And so some people have noted that the very strong increase in immigration and population growth over the last
few years has been one reason why house prices were strong.

So if we can choose the right uh balance, that's a good thing.
But there's no number set in concrete.
