Border Crossing Data Not an Accurate Measure of Migration
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) states that the dataset on border crossings does not accurately measure migration.
Experts emphasize that the actual number of migrants is recorded by separate data, known as Net Overseas Migration.
- Multiple social media users have misused border crossing data to claim high migration levels in Australia.
- A Facebook post features a graph of these figures, calling for reduced immigration to prevent societal division.
"Immigrant arrivals hit new record high – one every 55 seconds: 'Dividing our society,'"
AAP FACTCHECK notes that this misinformation gives an inaccurate picture of migration numbers in Australia.
