I'm very glad Hussein is out but I don't know if Sean Fraser will do a good job. His previous role as immigration minister let the country consistently exceed its immigration targets, which only made the housing crisis worse. He'll be looking into the consequences of his own actions on housing.

He already refrained from building more houses directly and "subsidizing", not investing, "below-market" housing instead, so that's not a good sign already.

From a structural standpoint, merging housing and infrastructure into a single ministry makes sense. These two issues go hand in hand.
