  I saw this one recently: https://sbs.com.au/news/australia-looks-to-migrants-to-boost-country-s-recovery-from-covid-19/2316d04b-9cfd-44e1-bfe8-9486230f8731

  Based on the article, they're planning to take in additional 120k migrants in the next 2 years on top of the 160k planning level. This is in connection with their COVID-19 economic recovery. Hopefully totoo ito para more invites na next year!
