Unless there is a sharp change in immigration policy, Australia's population is likely to exceed the latest Treasury projection of 35.9 million by 2050. This is the ''big Australia'' vision. The projection's core assumption was that net migration will average about 180,000 a year. By 2008-09, however, it was estimated to be 298,000.
