> we saw a reduction in foreign born population in the 70s and again in the 90s. no you did not. you had a reduction in the level of immigration briefly during the 70s because of whitlam's economic blunders (you're welcome for booting him before his damage could become permanent btw), but it was still a net increase in foreign born population, not a net reduction. you did not have a net outflow of foreign born population in the 70s or 90s. the trump administration remains the only time this has ever happened in the anglosphere since mass immigration began in earnest.
