flag Australia's rapid population growth, fueled by record immigration, is straining housing and services, sparking public concern and political tension.

flag Australia's population is growing rapidly, driven by 310,000 immigrants in 2024-25—far exceeding 105,000 births—due to a fertility rate of 1.45. flag Immigration now fuels growth more than natural increase, straining housing, infrastructure, and services. flag While it supports economic output, rising costs and public concern have sparked protests and political tension, with growing support for populist parties. flag Experts warn that without reforms like shifting to land taxes and investing in public services, population growth alone won’t improve living standards.
