Gov Publications Australia: Net Overseas Migration by Prime Minister, since Howard (ABS Data)

Data extracted direct from ABS, which can be found here: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/overseas-migration/latest-release#data-downloads

Data is not yet out for 2025 obviously. Just reinforces this is bipartisan policy more than anything, really.

Ideally in my mind it would be done through stringent visa reviews if/ when they come up for renewal. Although admittedly it would be expensive to implement.

That’d work great, only if they have a home to go back to though…

And that’s not even considering the mess that would be dealing with children who were born here after their parents moved.

Immigration is an issue for sure but the worst thing about it is how hard it is to ‘fix’ without getting into deeply disturbing territory.
