Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has allowed 1.15 million immigrants into Australia since taking power, the highest number ever in a single term of government.
The current migration intake is 62% higher than the previous record, set during the first term of the Rudd-Gillard first-term Labor government, according to new research published by the Institute of Public Affairs on Wednesday.
Immigrants from India made up 18% of the new immigrants in the last financial year with 92,940 arrivals, followed by China on 12% with 64,320, and the Philippines on 8% and 40,890.
Next were Nepal, Colombia, the UK, Vietnam, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Thailand.
“At present, approximately 31% of Australia’s population is born overseas, which has increased from approximately 22% in 1983.
“By comparison, 29% of New Zealand’s population is foreign-born, followed by Canada (at 21%), the US (at 15%), and the UK (at 14%).”
