If there’s one thing that surprises new arrivals to Australia, it’s that our population is far removed from the tanned, blonde bodies of Summer Bay. In 2019, more than 7.5 million migrants were living in Australia, with 29.7 per cent of the population born overseas.
Those born in England continues to be the largest immigrant group, with China and India next, but we’re more multicultural than many of us realise. According to the Department of Home Affairs, more than 200 nationalities made up the total of 204,817 people who became Australian citizens by conferral in 2019-20.
“You can have different nationalities here, with different cultural practices, languages and religions, and as long as you’re not hurting anybody, everyone accepts it, respects it and goes about their business.”
