## Resource

Australia’s migration model has flipped from welcoming permanent settlers to favoring temporary visa holders — a shift that undermines long-term integration. Back in the 1960s, migrants came expecting to build lives here; today, many arrive with one foot out the door. That lack of permanence weakens incentives to learn the language, build community ties, or fully engage. The result? A paradox: we bring in huge numbers, but don’t offer the stability that turns migrants into lifelong contributors. The solution? Redirect focus from temporary pathways to permanent ones — especially for skilled international students, who already know the system and should be fast-tracked to residency. Australia must choose: will it be a nation that uses migrants as temporary labor, or one that invites them to build its future?
