In this release, ‘migrants’ refers to people who have arrived in Australia since January 2000, and includes permanent migrants who have become Australian citizens during this period.

Is that a peculiar way to be refered to. When is an Australian citizen not a migrant ?

Yeah that ‘average salary’ is lies damned lies and statistics

Only if you don’t understand the difference between avergae (mean) and median. A kid working at Maccas twice a week can skew the diffeence as much as the repugnant wage paid to the Macquaire Bank CEO.
