LARGEST NUMBER OF IMMIGRANTS IN AUSRALIA by country of ORIGIN

Immigrants play a crucial role in Australia's economy by filling labor shortages in key sectors, contributing to population growth, bringing new skills and ideas, and helping to manage an aging population, making them a vital component of the country's success and identity; essentially, they bolster the workforce with fresh talent and dynamism, particularly in areas with high skill demands.

It's incredible the fact that Indonesia does not make part of the list even being a close neighbor and having a population of 100 times bigger than Australia.

[@shaungibson2033]

A hundred times bigger? Check your math.

[@copaloadofthis]

@@shaungibson2033 .. 282 million for Indonesia vs 26 million for Australia .. closer to 11 times the population in Indonesia

[@paulineryan579]

Surely India has to be high up there? I see Indians everywhere I go.

Nobody complains when it's mostly British people coming to Australia and taking jobs in the government or in dominating roles like Recruitment and HR. Yet somehow when Asians (all kinds) do it, it's suddenly a problem.

[@shaungibson2033]

Is it welcomed in workplaces in Asia when those from the West take those same roles?

[@gomezgomezian3236]

No problem with lots of Brits ... but too many Poms!

[@michaelclifford7214]

Mainly when they don’t assimilate and try speak English is the the problem

[@KeithDevine-k9q]

When it comes to skilled labour the British leave the Asians for dead,and they assimilate better.

[@whatdoiputhere1694]
