This seems like a highly politicised answer

Australia has 1/3rd the population of the UK on a literal continent.

In Ireland we also have a housing crisis, because ironically all of our young construction workers have emigrated to Australia because there's a huge construction boom there. If you restricted immigration you'd have a bigger housing crisis

Ireland also has some of the strictest planning laws in the world.

See the case study of a housing development of 52 flats that was prohibited because it’d harm the view out of a pub garden.

Not only that, but Australia has about as much population as Romania (26 vs 20 million)
