It'd be good if the ABS had a breakdown of religion by country of birth or something. Good point… and that would be supported by the fact that the biggest chunk of Hinduism is in the 25-34 bracket.

Therefore, as Australia has lots of temporary residents it is hard trying to get a "real" picture on the demograhics of Australians. I would think that whilst Buddhism and Hinduism went up from more migrants, I would be interested to see whether this was by "Australians" - that is permanent residents and citizens, or just by temporary residents (students), as lots of them would come from India were Hinduism is a common religion.
