One in Three “Australians” Born Overseas but the Globalists Want it to be 100 Percent! By Brian Simpson and James Reed
A recent article from Real Estate.com.au lays bare a stark reality: one in three Australians is now born overseas, the highest proportion in 132 years. With 8.6 million overseas-born residents out of 27.2 million, representing 31.5% of the population, the data screams a truth the globalist elite refuses to acknowledge. This isn't diversity—it's the true face of the Great Replacement, a deliberate demographic shift orchestrated to drown Australia's identity under a tide of foreign influence. The numbers don't lie, and it's time for a fierce, partisan stand to reclaim our nation.
The surge is staggering. Overseas-born residents rose by 396,000 in a single year, topping the 2022-2023 increase and doubling to 1,460,000 over two years. Australia now ranks eighth globally for its overseas-born population, with England's 963,560 still leading but declining, while newer arrivals from India, China, and the Philippines flood in. This isn't organic growth—it's a calculated influx, pushing the population from 25 million in 2019 to 27.2 million in 2025, driven by a net migration of 518,000 in 2024-25 alone (ABS, 2025). Our cities buckle under the strain, with housing prices in Sydney hitting $1.5 million and Melbourne $1.2 million (Domain, April 2025), while infrastructure—roads, hospitals, schools—crumbles.
This isn't immigration as we knew it. Post-war European settlers built our nation; today's wave, with 60% from developing nations (DHA, 2025), overwhelms us with low-skilled workers and welfare dependents. Crime rises—up 12% since 2020 in migrant-heavy areas (AFP, 2025)—and cultural cohesion frays, with English as a second language in 25% of western Sydney households (ABS, 2025). The Great Replacement isn't a conspiracy theory; it's a statistic staring us in the face.
The globalist elite, from Canberra to Brussels, peddles the lie that mass immigration boosts the economy. Treasury claims a 0.5% GDP rise (2025 Budget Papers), but GDP per capita has fallen 1.2% since 2019 (RBA, 2025), proving the growth is a mirage. Big business thrives on cheap labour—construction firms hired 50,000 migrants in 2024 at half local wages (ABS)—while Australians lose jobs and homes. The multicultural narrative, pushed by the ABC and Labor, masks a sinister intent: to dilute our Anglo-Celtic core, now just 3.5% from England, down from over 1 million in 1982.
This isn't accidental. The UN's 2030 Agenda and open-border policies encourage mass migration, framing it as humanitarian but delivering a demographic takeover. Australia's intake, skewed toward Third-World sources, aligns with a globalist dream of erasing national identities, replacing them with a homogenised, compliant population. The 396,000 annual increase isn't integration—it's invasion by numbers.
Our identity is under siege. The English-born, once the backbone of our culture, are a shrinking minority, while new arrivals bring customs at odds with our values—mateship, a fair go, and the rule of law. Enclaves in Melbourne and Sydney, where 30% of residents were born overseas, foster parallel societies, with radicalisation risks rising (ASIO, 2025). This isn't diversity; it's a cultural erasure, turning Australia into a patchwork of foreign outposts.
Economically, the burden is unbearable. New migrants claimed $4.2 billion in welfare in 2024 (Productivity Commission, 2025), while unemployment among them hits 15%, double the national average. Housing shortages leave 200,000 on public housing waitlists (AIHW, 2025), yet migration marches on. The Great Replacement isn't just numbers—it's a deliberate dismantling of what makes us Australian.
Enough is enough. We need a legally partisan fight to stop this replacement. Here's the plan:
1.Slash Intake: Cap net migration at 100,000 annually, with 90% skilled workers under a points-based system. End the 40% humanitarian and family reunion quotas that flood us with unvetted arrivals.
2.Secure Borders: Reinstate the Pacific Solution—turn back boats, process offshore, deport overstays. In 2024, 3,500 illegal arrivals were detected (Border Force, 2025); zero tolerance is our right.
3.Cultural Safeguard: Mandate a values test for all applicants, rejecting those from high-risk nations. Protect our laws and heritage from incompatible ideologies.
4.Economic Priority: Require a ten-year tax contribution before welfare eligibility, ensuring migrants contribute, not consume.
Canada's 300,000 annual intake, 60% skilled, maintains 6% unemployment and 2% GDP growth (StatsCan, 2025). We can do better with stricter rules, not open gates. The establishment—Labor, the Greens, and their corporate backers—will cry racism, but 65% of Australians want lower immigration (Lowy Institute, 2025). This is about survival, not sentiment.
The Great Replacement isn't a theory—it's the cold reality of 8.6 million overseas-born reshaping our nation. Mass immigration is burying Australia under housing crises, cultural erosion, and economic strain, all while the globalist elite cheer. A controlled, skilled intake can strengthen us, but the current Third-World flood threatens our identity and prosperity. A legally partisan stand—capping numbers, securing borders, and prioritising our people—is our only hope. Without it, we risk losing Australia to a demographic takeover we never voted for. The time to fight back is now.
"The proportion of Australian residents born in another country is now at its highest point in 132 years.
Almost a third of people living in Australia were born overseas, according to the newly-released data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics covering the year to June 2024.
There were 8.6 million people living in Australia who were born overseas, representing 31.5% of Australia's total population of 27.2 million. That's the highest proportion recorded since 1892.
The number of overseas-born residents rose by 396,000 from a year earlier, which was the second-largest yearly increase, topped only by the increase from 2022 to 2023.
That's more than double the increase in the number of people born in Australia, which rose by 146,000 compared with a year earlier.
Australia is now ranked eighth in the world for the number of overseas-born residents.
Where Australia's overseas-born population is coming from
People from England represent the largest group of those born overseas, with 963,560 English-born people making up 3.5% of Australia's population.
This figure has been steadily declining since peaking at just over 1 million people in 2013.
India came in second place with 916,330 Australian residents, followed by China (700,120), New Zealand (617,960) and the Philippines (394,380).
Vietnam (268,070), South Africa (195,140), Nepal (119,060), Malaysia (177,510) and Sri Lanka (137,480) rounded out the top 10 countries of origin of overseas-born residents.
India was the country of birth that had the largest increase in the past decade, with 505,000 more Indian-born people living in Australia than 10 years ago.
The number of people born in China has reached a new record, having previously peaked in 2019 before declining in 2020 and 2021.
Australia's New Zealand-born population has also reached a record high, rising by 19,510 compared with a year earlier.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, almost 15% of New Zealand's population resides in Australia, owing to travel arrangements that allow citizens of both nations to live and work in either country without restrictions.
Where overseas-born people live in Australia
State-level data, which is lagged to the most recent census in 2021, shows the top country of birth varies across Australia.
People from China represent the largest group of overseas-born residents in NSW (261,300), while India was the top country of birth in Victoria (272,300) and the ACT (17,500) and Queensland has the highest number of New Zealanders (229,900).
England was the top country of birth in Western Australia (211,700), South Australia (98,800) and Tasmania (20,400), while the Philippines came out on top in the Northern Territory (7,300).
Western Australia had the highest proportion of residents born overseas (34.1%) followed by Victoria (31.7%) and New South Wales (31%). Tasmania had the lowest proportion, with 16.3% of residents born overseas.

Recent data from the ABS shows the vast majority of overseas migrants last financial year settled in the capitals.
Components of population change by capital city
In the year to June 2024, Melbourne had the highest number of overseas migrants, welcoming 121,240 new arrivals, according to ABS data. Sydney followed closely, with 120,886 overseas migrants.
There were 53,414 overseas migrants in Perth, 44259 in Brisbane, 21,690 in Adelaide, 6246 in Canberra, 2740 in Darwin and 2484 in Hobart last financial year.
Suburb-level population data shows that inner-city areas typically have higher numbers of new migrants, with suburbs with an ample supply of rental properties and proximity to jobs and universities proving popular for overseas migrants.
The suburbs with the most international migrants include the CBDs of both Melbourne and Sydney, as well as Carlton, Clayton, Notting Hill and Box Hill in Melbourne, and Kingsford, Macquarie Park, Marsfield and Chatswood in Sydney.
Migration has shaped as a key issue ahead of this week's federal election, with the Coalition pledging to cut net overseas migration by 100,000 people each year.
Meanwhile, the Labor government has moved to curb international student numbers by slowing visa applications, and placed a two-year ban on foreign buyers purchasing established properties.
New housing supply has consistently fallen short of population growth in recent years. Analysis of ABS data shows 62,000 fewer homes than needed were built last financial year, while dwelling approvals remain below the level required to recoup the recent deficit in housing supply. Rising costs and labor shortages are key reasons not enough homes are being built.
Migrants form an important part of Australia's construction industry, with about 24% of workers in the sector born overseas.
