Home / Media Releases / Shadow Ministry / Labor’s Big Australia confirmed by ABS

Official data published today has confirmed that Labor brought in more than one million migrants in just over two years during a housing and rental crisis.

According to ABS population data published today, Australia’s Net Overseas Migration (NOM) reached 1.06 million people under Labor from mid-2022 through the September Quarter 2024.

This includes 90,000 net migrants brought in just in the latest quarter of data.

Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship Dan Tehan said the ABS had confirmed Labor’s Big Australia policy.

“Labor’s Big Australia policy continues to put massive pressure on housing, infrastructure and services,” Mr Tehan said. “Labor always makes a mess out of immigration.

“People keep asking me: where will all these migrants live? Clearly Labor has no answer.

“Rebalancing our migration program and fixing the housing crisis are key priorities for a Dutton Coalition Government.”
