Australia allowed in a record 751,500 immigrants in 2023, new official figures show



Australia allowed in a record 751,500 new immigrants in the 2023 calendar year, while the total population grew by 2.5% to 26.97 million, official statistics show.

New figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on Thursday showed that net overseas migration was 547,300 in 2023, including 252,000 in the first half of the current financial year – meaning that Labor’s May budget forecast of 395,000 migrants in the 2023-24 financial year will prove to be too low.

The 751,500 immigrant arrivals figure is the largest in Australian history, and is an increase of 98,000 (15.0%) over 2022 when 619,600 people immigrated to Australia, also a record at that time.

The latest figure is also higher than the 737,000 arrivals in the last financial year, indicating that immigration is still increasing, rather than falling as promised by the government.

ABS head of demography Beidar Cho said: “Net overseas migration drove 84% of [the 2023] population growth, while natural increase accounted for the other 16%.”

Natural increase in 2023 was 103,900 people, 6.4% less than in 2022.

“This is made up of 287,100 births and 183,100 deaths registered in Australia,” the ABS said.

“Western Australia had the fastest growing population, up 3.3% from 2022. This was followed by Victoria, which grew by 2.8%, and Queensland, which grew by 2.6%. Tasmania saw the lowest growth, at 0.4%.”

Former Department of Immigration Deputy Secretary Abul Rizvi told ABC News there was “little to no chance” of Labor’s forecasts being correct, and predicted the actual number will be “well over 400,000”.

The figures come a day after the ABS released overseas arrivals statistics for April this year, showing 12,370 arrivals of permanent residents and 55,070 long-term overseas arrivals (those intending to stay for 12 months or more) – amounting to 16,840 a week, or 2,248 a day.

Why the hell would you even entertain new migrants with cultural appropriation.

Dutton for PM at the next election.

Every country, except Australia, has populations reacting negatively to excessive immigration.

Australian politicians are not getting the message and should be overthrown.

Australian politicians are taking no measures to accommodate the large number of immigrants and visa holders by suitable provision of housing and infrastructure.

When the music stops the investors holding unwanted housing will lose.

Nah - the Pakis and Injuns will happily live 12 people to a one bedroom flat -
it's luxury for them:

a stove,
a dunny,
a shower

Triple bunks in each room and they're happy.

The problem is we have no choice, unless you want a recession.

It's looking like that's what is needed to help reset things, but it will ensure the Libs will be returned to power if it happens under Labor, and if the Libs are in charge of the rebuild the cycle will just continue and what will rise from the ashes will be designed to serve them and their donors, not us.

It's been revealed Victoria will need two million new homes in the next 25 years,
to house our booming population.


Tonight, there are new questions about where they'll go and how they'll be built,
as pressure is placed on councils to approve new dwellings faster.

Who is going to build them?

This is what happens when the Libs reduce safety regulations and cut TAFE funding.

But if you bring more people in to build them, there is nowhere for them to live.

You add that to the Libs commodifying the housing market for over a decade and we're in a hell of a mess.

Large houses of 3 and 4 bedrooms on 1000 square metres of land are a social anachronism.

The Australian government should foster and fund architectural competitions to invent new concepts in home design and construction technology to match the future needs of single people, childless couples, and small families with one or two children.

Society has changed and is changing more.

It was on TV last night.
The plans are for 10 story apartments in all the inner suburbs.

We've just taken a new place off the plan in Melbourne, will in a few years be out kid's house.

It's a townhouse in a row of 8, and we've just sent out own inspector in and there was 432 defects.

This has been 2+ years building, and was meant to be a week from settlement and there are still 432 defects...

They found 12 when they did their own inspection.

The quality of new builds, the time it takes them to complete and the bloody cost, it's ridiculous.

I don't know how they expect with the current landscape to build even the homes we need for today.

The problem is coming to fruition with the media getting behind it under Labor's watch so of course it will be portrayed as their fault, but never forget the causes and the reason why we're left with the choice of "bring in more people" or recession to fix it.

My town is preparing for an influx of new residents in the next 10 years. Parkhurst and northern suburbs are experiencing a real growth. When the new bridge gets built, there will be houses around Edenbrook up for grabs.

Victoria might be getting a lot of new migrants. But the locals seem to be moving up north.

Yeah, we're getting flooded with locals, blood victorian drivers... /s

Both kids will be studying in Melbourne and unlike their bogan father, I feel like they're loving it down there and would prefer the city life.

We've been putting money aside to help them with a home loan since the moment we found out they were on the way, but we haven't told them that.  But as much as we want them to be resilient and self-reliant, it's going to be practically impossible for them to enter the housing market as anything but a renter for the bulk of their young adult lives at this rate.
