Re: Aussie population stats
Australia's population growth is high by developed world status. A lot of this gain is through immigration.
Sadly infrastructure is failing badly to keep up with the increases over recent years.
Immigration has changed over the years with falling UK numbers in percentage terms and the financial year just passed in raw numbers.

Re: Aussie population stats
Smaller population countries tend to be happier anyway. Constant rapid growth will impact in the negative to us all at some stage. Already happening on the roads and in the hospitals.

Re: Aussie population stats
UK numbers have declined but still in fourth position. Yes India is top providing over 40,000 immigrants last year followed by China and New Zealand. It's not the country of origin as a greater diversity is a good thing. Just the numbers have gone ahead of the infrastructure. Pleases landlords no doubt.

Re: Aussie population stats
Population growth; the biggest threat to the planet.
Watch it happening here
Hover over a country to see its stats.

Some interesting figures. Compare Australia with Somalia. +/- half our population but the same death rate as ours and twice our birth rate.

Re: Aussie population stats
I wonder what % are taxi drivers with degrees?
Australia conducts a census every 5 years; UK every 10 years.
It is believed that the real population of the UK is far in excess of the official figure. eg Tesco claim from their copious records kept via Clubcard that the real figure is closer to 80 million.
Melbourne's population is rising by just under 80,000 p.a. on latest figures.
Interesting stats here:

Migration program is making a smaller contribution to Australia's population latterly than in the past eg graph at bottom shows much higher levels in % terms in 70's than now.
UK now 3rd leading source, down 30% for latest year.
And so and so forth.

Re: Aussie population stats
Would be interested to see from what descent the domestic increase has come from.
Will also be interesting to see whether the reduced baby bonus slows down the domestic rate.
Actually I wonder if the new government will scrap it.
