Paris, like much of Queensland, has been grappling with a housing crisis for some time.
It hit a fever pitch at the 2024 Olympics, when an escalation in the demand for short-term accommodation contributed to thousands of people being displaced.
Armed police were seen directing migrants and homeless people onto government-backed buses that took them from the city centre to temporary lodging ahead of the Games' opening ceremony.
"It was disappointing to see what happened in Paris," leading housing and homelessness advocate Q Shelter CEO Fiona Caniglia told AAP.
