“In 2021 30% of Australia's Population was born Overseas; 30%

in the paper it says 23%.. that’s in 2006. Both figures come from the Australian Bureau of Statistics.”

“The focus of this paper and the entire narrative of Cultural Diversity in this paper was based around migrant groups. People not born in Australia. That’s really important to know. “
