About this episode
Australia is often celebrated for its multiculturalism, and lauded as an immigration success story.
But in politics, debates over immigration are complex, and long established through multiple political cycles.
And while the Coalition has delayed unveiling its immigration policy in the wake of the tragic Bondi attack, conversations around immigration have permeated through some of the commentary.
So, what do the numbers actually show?
Patricia Karvelas and Tom Crowley break it all down on a special edition of Politics Now.
