New migrants and others welcome inducements to go regional

Population figures contained in the 2019 federal budget show the number of temporary migrants is rising much faster than previously forecast. The revelation is leading to experts warning of the impact of that on Australia - and on temporary migrants themselves. If re-elected in May, the Coalition government is promising new incentives for migrants to live and work in regional Australia, in a bid to ease congestion in the major centres. Migrants living in regional New South Wales say there's already a lot to gain from venturing outside the nation’s capitals - but any extra support from the government is an added bonus.
