AI & the National Interest
1,825,403 people are in Australia on temporary visas, six times the figure the government quotes.
This section argues a case. It is editorially separate from Mindiam news reporting, which stays neutral. Every figure here comes from a public record and is linked, so you can check the argument against the data rather than taking it on trust.
Source data
The numbers in this section come from the Australian Public AI Register, an open dataset published under CC-BY. Every row carries its source URL and the date it was retrieved, and the full change history is public, so any figure here can be traced back to the record it came from and checked independently.
