About
Amidst a rental shortage and ever rising house prices, overcrowded cities and amenities, and a sense that life in Australia is not as it once was, Australians are growing suspicious of immigration.
We can see this growing suspicion in the unprecedented anti-immigration protests that took place across Australia in 2025. We also see it in the slow-motion collapse of the Liberal party. First it was the loss of seats long considered safe to the Teals, and now it's the movement of erstwhile Liberal voters to One Nation, a party known mostly for its anti-immigration positions.
This growing suspicion of immigration is likely to significantly change Australia's political landscape, just as it has already done so across Western Europe, the US, and Canada. The anti-immigration Reform party in the UK is expected to win the next election. The anti-immigration AFD party in Germany has emerged from obscurity to receive the 2nd highest vote in the last election and could receive the highest vote in the next election according to recent polling. Trump's unprecedented presidential runs and victories were largely due to discontent with immigration. And when Canada's ruling left-wing party could no longer ignore the significant problems caused by mass migration, it issued a mea culpa, admitting that it had imported too many people since Covid and promises to pause population growth until 2027.
As more and more people start to talk and think about immigration, there is a need for accurate and accessible information on the topic. Unfortunately, such information is difficult to obtain. A wide range of figures are cited in public discourse, some of which conflict with one another, while others are deemed inaccurate or misleading by the ABS. The purpose of this website is to provide accurate and accessible information about immigration so that Australians can discuss the topic with confidence and as informed citizens.
