Lack of communication between the Department of Home Affairs and the Treasury is the cause of the “biggest blowout in net migration” in Australian history, says former Dept of Immigration deputy secretary Abul Rizvi.
“Sadly, the responsibility for this has been split into two agencies, and I’m not quite sure why we did that,” Mr Rizvi told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
“The forecast of net migration is made by Treasury, and the delivery of net migration is managed by the Department of Home Affairs. “It’s not clear to me that Treasury consults Home Affairs much in coming up with its forecast, and Home Affairs doesn’t bother too much about the Treasury forecast.”
