The results from Australia's national survey on migration are in and, when it comes to migrants, more than half of voting aged Australians say less is more.
Report author Bob Birrell, from the Australian Population Research Institute, says the results show a disconnect between what Australians want and the immigration ambitions of the country's major political parties.
The survey of 2,000 people also found nearly half of Australian voters would back a partial ban on Muslim immigrants.
Terrorism analyst Greg Barton acknowledges that fear of religion-linked terror attacks may be behind the strong support for a ban.
