what about this bit "About 4.3 million people were granted temporary and permanent visas to Australia in 2006-2007"
4.3Million people!!!! that cant be right can it

DadAgain

Why you think 4.3million is too low? or too high?

I think 4 million sounds like a reasonable number - given that a HUGE percentage of those would be eVisas issued for tourists....

If you count 1 for every time someone lands in Australia maybe?

Wonder if being a desk jockey for the immigration dept is a fun job or not...

Tiggs+Graz

Does it included holiday visas etc?

steve99

seems high to me, but as you say maybe including tourists, but even then thats still 12,000 per day.

And yet, "about 4.3 million people were granted temporary and permanent visas to Australia in 2006-2007".

Sounds like we've got the balance right.

Sounds fine to me.

Australia had 5.5 million tourists between 2005-2006 alone. That's a lot of temporary visas.

"It is crucial that we maintain the integrity of our immigration system and ensure that people meet the criteria for the visas they apply for."

Very sensible, in the UK this would be branded as "racist".

If you see the net movement is 2,12,968.
Total Arrivals : 11 269 335
Total Departures: 11 056 367
Net = Total Arrivals - Total Departures
