> It accepts a very high number of migrants each year, compared to its population Looked this up - Covid aside, Australia has taken in 250k people net every year for the last ten years, except for the most recent couple of years, where it's gone up to 400k-500k[0]. That requires the equivalent of a new Canberra[1] every year. Current population: 27m people[2]. I'm not sure what that rate per population is compared to most countries, but it's much higher than the UK's. In 2023 the UK took in 685,000 people[3], but on a base of 67.5m in 2022[4].
