Answer 1

Just a minor correction to the discussion:

Australia does not have a generous attitude to immigration.
It’s actually by comparative standards quite tough on immigration.
There is however similar to Canada(or Japan to pick a non-western country) a pretty high amount of ‘western’ migration alongside other forms of migration to Australia. That fact alongside the high volume of migration to Australia in general, is what contributes to the idea that Australia is ‘easy’ to migrate to.

TLDR:

High amounts of migration do not necessarily mean that the immigration policy itself is generous.
