Australia should set immigration targets to achieve a ‘stable temporary population’, report says

A new report recommends Australia establish immigration targets to achieve a "stable temporary population." This proposal aims to address the significant increase in nonpermanent residents, which has reportedly strained the country's public services and housing. The report argues that focusing on net overseas migration figures has diverted attention from the growing "scale of temporariness." Temporary migrants now constitute over 6% of Australia's total population, more than doubling from 2.7% in 2010.
