Australia has run one of the strongest immigration programs in the world this century, which has grown the nation’s population by an extraordinary 8.9 million people (based on the latest reading from the ABS Population Clock).
Australia’s population growth has outpaced virtually every other developed nation this century, thanks to 20 years of mass migration.
Since the beginning of 2005, Australia’s net overseas migration has averaged a whopping 228,500 annually, which is around 138,500 (150%) higher than the 90,000 average NOM in the 60 years following the Second World War.
