'Modern Australia and multicultural Australia are the same thing,' Immigration Minister Tony Burke declared
For the first time in Australian history, India has overtaken England as the country's largest source of migrants, marking a major demographic shift in the former British colony.
New figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show 971,020 Indian-born residents now live in Australia - narrowly surpassing the 970,950 people born in England.
The figures also reveal that almost one-third of Australia's 27.6 million residents were born overseas.
A total of 8.83 million people - representing 32 per cent of the population - were born abroad, the highest proportion recorded since 1891 during the gold rush era.
Australia's population has grown by 3.8 million over the past decade, continuing a long-term post-war expansion.
English migration peaked in 2013 when more than one million England-born residents lived in Australia, but that figure has steadily declined.
Chinese-born residents now form the third-largest migrant group at 732,000.
New Zealand ranks fourth, with numbers rising from 618,000 in 2024 to 638,000 in 2025.
Filipino-born Australians complete the top five at 412,539 - a figure that has doubled over the past decade.
Growing migrant communities from Vietnam, South Africa, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Malaysia are also reshaping Australia's demographic landscape.
The data shows overseas-born residents are also getting younger on average, with their median age falling from 46 in 2005 to 43 today.
Australia now ranks eighth globally for the proportion of foreign-born residents."
Comment: If this Great White Replacement continues, probably White Australians will disappear from this land by the 22nd century, thanks in part to our "own" elites.
