The line graph shows the residence status of students coming to study in Australia from four different countries: Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore. It is evident that over the period, 1982 to 2000, there was a general upward trend in the numbers. The only country to have students studying in Australia in 1982 was Malaysia, at around 4, 000 per year. After an initial increase, the numbers remained fairly steady, reaching approximately 10, 000 in 1994. Indonesia, Hong Kong and Singapore followed a similar pattern to each other over this period, rising more sharply once arrivals began until they also stood at around 10, 000 per year by the mid-1990s. After this, all the countries then showed a more rapid increase in arrivals, but this was particularly prominent in Indonesia, which surpassed all the other countries to reach a peak of around 27, 000 in 1998, before finishing the highest at 23, 000 in 2000. Hong Kong and Malaysia followed the same pattern, fluctuating and finishing at 18, 000, whereas Singapore showed a continuous upward trend, reaching just below 20, 000 in 2000.
