Anthony Albanese is under attack again over runaway immigration, with critics urging him to steal a solution from across the ditch.
The PM has come under fire from critics who say he’s overseen the creation of a ‘Big Australia’. PICTURE: NCA Newswire / Nicki Connolly As well as contributing to the largest increase in Australia’s population in decades, the share of net migration as a proportion of the total resident base was double that seen since post-World War II.
Mr Tehan said the government had allowed the immigration system to run out of control without having “a plan to deal with the pressure on housing, infrastructure, government services and the environment”.Australians are rightly asking: where are all these people going to live?” he said. What New Zealand’s reforms do prove is that the migration surge is “not just an issue for Australia” and pointed out that Canada and the United Kingdom are battling similar forces, he said.
“In other words, the permanent population of Australia just continues to grow annually by the same numbers that it has grown for the past decade.” The report called for “major reform” rather than “tinkering and incrementalism” and in its wake, the government announced a new migration strategy in December.
Rather than a complete overhaul, Dr Stevens said the reforms represent several “long overdue remedies” focusing on misuse of international student visas, migrant worker exploitation, and an overly complex and inefficient bureaucracy.

Another big change was ‘decoupling’ migrant visas from sponsoring employers, giving someone 180 days to find a new work sponsor if they want to switch jobs, an increase from 60 days previously.Professor McDonald said it remained unclear whether the “very large number” of temporary arrivals seen in 2022-23 is indeed temporary, “or whether it represents a new level of demand for residence in Australia”.
“It is important to remember most of the recent growth in international enrolments is in the higher education sector not the vocational education and training sector that is so often maligned,” Dr Stevens said.
