White Australians and the minority forecast The Anglo-Saxon or White race constitutes the majority population in Australia. This demographic dominance significantly influences the multicultural fabric of the country, with those of European descent wielding considerable control over the nation’s politics and governmental policies. The two principal political entities, the Australian Labour Party and the Australian Liberal Party, anchor Australia’s democratic parliamentary system.
Founded in 1901 and 1944, respectively, these parties have historically alternated in governance, with smaller parties acting as their allies. Australia, a prominent member of the Commonwealth, adheres to the Westminster system of democracy, where the Governor General is appointed by the British Crown. As the demographic composition of Australia shifts markedly, political scientists predict that the Anglo-Saxon influence and the European way of life may diminish over the next 50 to 70 years.
As of June 2024, official data indicates that Australia’s population stands at 26,679,045, roughly 0.33% of the global population. Remarkably, half of this population size is equivalent to the population of neighbouring Jakarta, Indonesia.
Projections from the Australian Bureau of Statistics suggest that by 2071, Australia’s population will be around 30 to 40 million. As of 30 June 30, over 8.2 million residents, constituting more than 30% of the total population, were born outside Australia.
