Australia records highest net migrant arrivals ever, experts warn of unsustainable growth Migration to Australia has reached unprecedented levels, with more than 415,000 permanent and long-term arrivals in the first nine months of 2025 alone. Australia is seeing record-breaking levels of permanent and long-term migrant arrivals, with numbers in 2025 already surpassing previous highs, the Institute of Public Affairs says. Deputy executive director of the IPA Daniel Wild says the figures show Australia is experiencing an unprecedented migration surge. “The first three quarters of 2025 saw the highest number of net permanent and long-term arrivals than any other year on record,” Mr Wild said. Analysis of the Australian Bureau of Statistics updated overseas arrivals and departures data, covering the year to September 2025, shows 415,760 net permanent and long-term arrivals from 1 January to 30 September, a 6 per cent increase on the previous record set in 2024. A total of 468,390 net permanent and long-term arrivals were recorded in the 12 months to 30 September 2025, the highest 12-month total on record, 4 per cent above 2024. Meanwhile, 35,890 net arrivals in September 2025 alone marked the second-highest September on record, behind September 2023. “Elevated net permanent and long-term arrival numbers have now become a new norm, with the indicator of migration patterns showing the federal government’s ‘Big Australia’ policy is well and truly in full flight,” “The out-of-control levels of migrant arrivals should not be blamed on the migrants. This failure belongs to the federal government alone. The numbers are clearly unsustainable,” he said. Mr Wild also questioned whether the migration program reflected community priorities. “The federal government’s out-of-control migration program does not have the consent of the community, and it is not targeted toward areas of economic need,” he said. “Is there any wonder that a growing number of Australians want to hit the brakes on migration inflow until such a time that housing, public infrastructure, and critical services are able to keep up with this rapid explosion in population?” https://www.news.com.au/finance/culture/australian-culture/australia-records-highest-net-migrant-arrivals-ever-experts-warn-of-unsustainable-growth/news-story/08e5e115e5a7eb7363a2001c52fad428

AnAl has to prop up his housing Ponzi scheme.

Labor is following WEF and UN policy with replacement migration.

We have record levels of immigrants when AnAl said he would reduce it.

We have had spineless pricks as PMs for 50 years.

Wow - a new record.   :o

No wonder house prices are skyrocketing. Too many people, not enough houses.

Labor doesn't understand supply and demand.

And some people then have the nerve to suggest that retirees (i.e. elderly people) who live alone in their own homes should be taxed for having extra bedrooms.

The attached story is from The Senior newspaper which I picked up the other day.

Correct - they shouldn't be "scapegoated for a housing crisis they didn't create".

Correct - this is dangerously close to elder abuse.

And, correct again - this is the result of decades of poor planning and neglect by successive governments.

This is also the result of housing becoming a means for greedy people (including politicians) to make lots of money at the expense of others instead of being a place for people to have an affordable roof over their heads.

Disgraceful stuff.

Wow - in only 9 months

The City of Greater Geelong's estimated resident population was 289,565 as of June 30, 2024,

“Eat s**t, whore”: Allowed to keep working in home care services

A home care service worker in Örebro made videos as he tortured, humiliated, and threatened a long line of elderly Swedes. In the video clips he calls them, among other things, “f***ing whore” in Arabic, and shouts “Allahu Akhbar“ right in the ears of an elderly man. Despite the police investigation, he was allowed to continue working in home care services. “Since we don’t know more about the investigation, we can’t suspend him more than one month,” says the unit manager.

22-year-old Abdulrahman Al Khleef Almasalmeh came to Sweden during the asylum crisis of 2015, Samnytt writes.

Now he stands accused, suspected of having subjected a large number of elderly Swedes to serious abuse.

Almasalmeh, along with other Arabs, has been previously convicted of humiliating, threatening with a pistol, and brutally abusing Swedish Epa youths in Värmland.

Despite that, he got a job in home care services in Örebro, which allowed him to continue even after the current police investigation began.

According to the prosecutor, there are thirteen claimants, after two of the victims died during the period of investigation. The oldest is 99 years old.

Footage secured by police shows how the 22-year-old repeatedly recorded situations in which elderly Swedes were subjected to humiliating treatment. In one case, he targeted a 90-year-old woman.

“You look like a monkey, “ he says in Arabic.

He continues to direct insults and threats at the elderly person.

“Oh, you whore. I swear I will curse you,” he says.

“Eat s**t, whore!”

“I swear to Allah, I will let you freeze!”

Another clip shows an elderly man lying in his bed. Almasalmeh records him up close, aiming at his face. At the same time, he says in Arabic:

“How can we tell how it is with this bastard? Is he alive or dead? I swear to Allah I don’t know (sighs). Are you here? (Pats the old man), are you here?”

In another case, an elderly man is showered with ice-cold water after one hears that he is “a son of a whore”.

“I swear to Allah I will let you freeze!” Almasalmeh can be heard telling the old man.
