🎙️ Australia’s Big Immigration Reality — with Daniel Wild (IPA)

In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Daniel Wild, Deputy Executive Director at the Institute of Public Affairs, for a deep dive into Australia’s exploding immigration numbers — the highest in our nation’s history.

We unpack why Australia’s “Big Australia” policy is on steroids, how rapid population growth is affecting housing, infrastructure and social cohesion, and why Daniel argues that our migration intake urgently needs to return to Howard-era levels of around 100,000 per year.

We also break down the truth about foreign student numbers and university dependency on international enrolments. At Sydney University alone, 51% of students are now international, and some classes aren’t even taught in English anymore. Daniel warns that universities have turned into de-facto migration pathways and focus their attention towards INCOME over education. He believes foreign student numbers should be capped at 30% maximum.

We also explore the challenges of integrating large numbers of people with vastly different cultural, social and religious beliefs — and why sustainable, manageable migration is essential for maintaining social cohesion in modern Australia.

If you care about Australia’s future, population policy, education, borders and the social fabric of our country, this is a must-listen.
