What is Australia's current population, and approximately what percentage were born overseas?

  1. 25 million people, roughly half

  2. 20 million people, roughly one quarter

  3. 30 million people, roughly one third

  4. 22 million people, roughly one quarter

The correct answer is: 22 million people, roughly one quarter

Australia's current population is estimated to be around 25 million people. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they either suggest a population that is too high or too low. Additionally, options A, B, and C provide percentages that are either too high or too low based on the estimated population. Option D correctly states that approximately one quarter of Australia's population was born overseas.
