  More than 80,000 temporary visitors, including "bogus asylum seekers", are refusing to leave Australia once their last resort to stay has lapsed.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses the often overlooked aspect of Australia's migration debate: the rate at which people are leaving the country. While much attention is given to the number of migrants arriving, the article highlights that the net migration figure, which is the difference between arrivals and departures, is significantly influenced by the latter. It points out that in recent years, there has been an increase in Australians moving abroad, driven by factors such as high living costs, housing unaffordability, and better job opportunities overseas. This trend of emigration, particularly among young professionals and skilled workers, poses challenges to Australia's economic growth and workforce planning. The article argues that understanding and addressing why people are leaving is crucial for a comprehensive migration policy, suggesting that merely focusing on immigration numbers without considering emigration misses a critical part of the population dynamics.
