We’ve imported ~20% of our population in the last 5 years
I had to check this claim for myself and as far as I can see your numbers are way off. Looking at the numbers supplied by the ABS I can see 2.485M arrivals over 5 years to 2024, or neally 10% of the 26M population. Not the 20% in your claim but feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
65% of these arrivals are Temporary visa holders, so they go home again…
13% were returning Australian Citizens.
6.3% were from NZ.
14% were Perminant Visa holders. 350K over 5 years is 1.34% of the Australian population.
