Howard was very calculating in what he did.

He made a big fuss in the media about a tiny handful of asylum seekers arriving by boat. All the while ramping up legal immigration avenues.

He knew this was good for his business owner lobbyist mates and good for increasing demand on real estate. Bad for anyone who works for a living and did not already own a house.
