Victoria’s population boom, with nearly 85,000 overseas migrants settling here in the 12 months to September 2018, is keeping the state’s economy out of trouble as the property market continues to slow.
Mr Martine, in his regular economic update, noted that Victoria’s population growth was continuing to soar way above historic levels. “Net interstate migration remains strong and added 14,000 persons over the year, although this was 2400 persons lower compared to the previous year.”But the housing market continues to weaken, Mr Martine wrote, something reflected in declining property prices and weaker building approvals.
“The weakness in Victoria’s housing market is weighing on consumer and home buying sentiment, despite the strong labour market conditions,” Mr Martine noted.

Let the market correct itself, why do we keep artificially inflating growth with immigration?
So per capita growth is no longer a thing? You were spruiking that against the Federal Government.
