Abstract
The impact of large numbers of international students on housing in Australia is a prominent political topic. Higher Education authors GM Mu and H Soong used regression analysis which gave a reassuring result regarding this topic. However, their regression analysis was faulty and conclusions almost certainly wrong. There is now the opportunity for them to retract the results of their faulty regression model and present the outcome of a correct regression analysis on this topic.
