Accuracy of stats[edit]

Why are the 2011 country-of-birth statistics accurate according to the source provided, but different to the figures here? Regards, thorpewilliam (talk) 11:26, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't vouch for the historical table and don't really see the point in it - I did not create the table and have be never cross referenced it against the ABS census data for the relevant years included. The main table (2021) simply uses the official annual ABS statistics release for foreign born population of Australia so that I can vouch for. StormcrowMithrandir 11:17, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

145k Sri Lankan born[edit]

145k Sri Lankan born population doesn't add up if I add Sri Lankan born population in Sydney, Melbourne and other cities. .@Photnart. (talk) 09:39, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you have stats for the cities? And are the city stats by the same organisation at the same?PrisonerB (talk) 09:48, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

??? Go to the ABS source cited for the table. https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/population/migration-australia/2019-20/34120DO005_201920.xls StormcrowMithrandir 11:14, 12 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
