Since this is just lining the pockets of hoteliers and private interests I would say no, it’s a massive waste of cash and hurts local economies. Given that the asylum seeker issue is not going away anytime soon, surely investing in longer term solutions would be ideal?

The next investigation should be looking at how many people have been evicted to facilitate these buildings to state for IPA use. A colleagues dad has a building that is used by workers in the local meat factory, he’s been bombarded by state to lease the accommodation to them.

We don’t have a tourism industry anymore to line hotelier and property owners pockets, instead of any tourist business making into the wages of the tax paying workers on this country, instead every dime goes directly into the hoteliers and property owners pockets. Its a racket for themselves and no one else benefits.
80% rejection rate and there’s a massive monetary incentive (for these property owners) to get people to come here illegally. Sounds like a great idea.

No it’s not, and that’s not just the cost of the accommodation. It’s also the cost to the taxpayer of funding all the NGOs and bureaucracy needed for the migrants as well All of the extra costs they put on the services of the state like transport, education, health etc.
The public have been sold a pup on this.
