Context

2022–23 peak sat as parent. Neighbouring Housing Accord miss is a child supply print. He did not sit as every visa officer.

NOM peak 2023 is the parent. Housing miss 2026 is a child.

The Prime Minister of Australia chairs Cabinet and advises the Governor-General. Parliament enacts; the Governor-General assents. He does not write a High Court judgment, a state housing approval, or a US AUKUS submarine yard print.

Why it matters

The path is household purchasing power: a completed still-high NOM year after the peak.

What the sources establish

ABS overseas-migration statistics for 2024–25 recorded NOM of about 306,000, down from 429,000 the year before and from the 2022–23 peak, still far above pre-COVID norms and still large against housing completions.

Australian Bureau of Statistics carries the official instrument or communique. ABC News records the same dated act independently.

Established: 2024–25 NOM about 306,000, independently placed on ABS prints.

Not established: a unique later rent coefficient from that year, or that student-visa rules uniquely authored every departure.

Home Affairs issued visas. ABS measured. States share housing.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Net overseas migration remains about 306,000 in 2024–25, not a later speech about Net overseas migration remains about 306,000 in 2024–25.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Cabinet owned settings. Home Affairs issued visas. ABS measured. States share housing. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
