The official 2024-25 ABS/Treasury stats disguise, that student-visas are the key source of net migration, that India and China are key source-countries. They ape instead, a silly ANU Migration Hub measure, migrant arrivals plus migrant departures.
India and China themselves, they don't do mass in-migration and state-sponsored reverse racism. That's an Anglosphere or Euro-guilt thang.
We can and should do better, on guns and race. But also, Australia is one of your least racist nations. Its "diverse" electorates are well cushioned in the electoral sweepstakes. Meaning here, electorates where 1st and 2nd generation migrants form the majority.

According to smug pollster Kos Samaras, one must win said electorates, to win government. Labor, so he reckons, holds 48 out of the 50 "most diverse".
In the last three federal elections, the losing candidate supposedly failed to appease "Chinese" electorates. Both in Sydney and Melbourne, Labor is deliberately crafting "Indian" electorates. According to Muslim Votes Matter, there are "over 20 seats" federally where their community has the "potential deciding vote".
There are only 150 federal electorates. It's problematic, that Liberal/Teal and Labor/Green compete over "diversity" not the greater good for the populace.
Check Labor's Housing Minister - celebrating January 26 India Republic Day - not Australia Day. Diwali, ho-hum for Australians, is catnip to Liberal/Labor politicians.
Faking it, Liberal/Teal and Labor/Green contested Albo's undemocratic Hate Bill. Just as happened after COVID, this leaves mass migration more entrenched than ever.
Bondi Albanese is no "reformer"
There you have it.

Despite raising temporary-visa holders to a staggering 10% of population (2.9m), "patriot" Albanese insinuates to be: catching up for COVID, supplying enough housing, tackling rental/electricity prices, taking bold climate action, beating population ageing, upskilling the workforce, fixing visa backlogs, and boosting social "cohesion".
That 2.9m includes 731,234 NZ citizens, 638,166 students, 240,332 temporary graduates, 402,652 bridging visa holders, 238,322 temporary skilled workers, 226,962 working holiday makers and 360,214 tourists. A vast labour-market underclass.
The UN, Ley and Albanese, Treasury and Home Affairs, also the uncountable international-immigration queue, they're all having a lend, draining citizens' tolerance.
