The latest Census figures are in and they show an increase in single parents and renters, a decrease in Christians, and that more than half the country is made up of first or second-generation migrants.
The new figures also show a large increase in Australia's Indigenous population, with some age groups showing an almost 30 per cent jump in the numbers since the last Census in 2016.
One of the several reasons for that is a slowly abating fear of identifying as Indigenous and of some of the serious risks that has entailed.
