Media outlets have been called out by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for inflating their data ahead of anti-immigration 'March for Australia' rallies. THE FIRST ANTI-IMMIGRATION RALLIES, possibly since the start of the post-war migration program, are planned for 31 August 2025. To promote these rallies, many anti-immigration media outlets, think tanks and political groups have been caught out misusing Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data. NPLT movements data can be used as a lead indicator of net migration, but only in conjunction with other corroborating evidence. It is likely that until then, these anti-immigration groups will continue to misuse NPLT movements' data to push their agenda.
