Australian migration numbers down

Australia’s net overseas migration (NOM) level is predicted to drop by 20 per cent by the end of the current financial year (ending on 30th June, 2010). According to the Minister for Immigration, this is in response to Government reforms to temporary and permanent migration, and also economic conditions.

Launching the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s (DIAC) publication, "Population flows – Immigration aspects 2008-09," Senator Evans said the level of NOM – which includes both permanent migrants and long-term temporary migrants – peaked in 2008-09 and is on the way down.
