More Labor lies on immigration as Australia adds ‘a new migrant every single minute’

As house prices continue to soar, rental availability wallows at an all-time low, the cost of living continues to rise and our standard of living plummets, the hapless, hopeless and harmful Albanese Labor Government continues to flood the country with record immigration numbers. In fact,news.com.au reports that Australia is adding a migrant “every single minute” as new figures suggest the PM’s promise to return to “sustainable” levels has already been broken. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on Friday suggests the government has already exceeded its net overseas migration target of 395,000 for the most recent financial year, with a month’s worth of arrivals still to be counted, according to analysis by the Institute of Public Affairs (IPA). The analysis is based on net permanent and long-term arrivals data, which is calculated differently to the all-important net overseas migration number that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised to cut back. “The latest ABS data confirms the federal government is simply not interested in delivering on its promise to reduce Australia’s record migration surge, and will dramatically overshoot its net overseas migration commitment,” IPA senior fellow Dr Kevin You said in a statement.
