"currently nearly 4000 per week permanent migrants, flooding into Sydney and Melbourne....that has been the go for the past couple of years...""

From your source: ""New South Wales at 77% (61,300 persons), Victoria at 63% (58,100
persons)"

=> less than 2,300 for the whole of Victoria and NSW.

Your figure: "nearly 4000 per week permanent migrants, flooding into Sydney and Melbourne" is bogus.

"does he know more than the govt dept's, whose job it is to track these figures.......or the immigration dept...."

ROFL
