Victoria wants another million people
The Victorian Government has announced a new population policy. The
Government is hopeful that the Victorian population will reach six million by
2025, and has outlined several strategies to attract immigrants. Young people
from other Australian states, international students and skilled overseas
workers will be the main targets. Meanwhile, New South Wales Premier Bob Carr believes the immigration intake is too high, and is placing too much strain
on the state's infrastructure; Original article by Mark Skulley; The
Australian Financial Review; 22 December 2004;
Thoughts?

would be six million people in the state by 2025. Out of this, 1.75 million
people will live in provincial areas. The state wants to lure more migrants
to country Victoria. Victorian Premier Steve Bracks has launched a policy
document called "Beyond Five Million: The Victorian Government's Population
Policy". Bracks said the Government has to plan for population growth. He was
speaking at Melbourne Airport on 21 December 2004 while welcoming a number of
migrant families to Victoria. The families were sponsored by the State
Government; Original article by Darren Gray; The Age; 22 December 2004; page

Re: Victoria wants another million people
All us victorian's can do is pray our population doesnt expand to another million people .... the victorian government needs to fix the problems we have now before they populate the place with another million people that will need to use our hospital and child care facilities which are already knackered

Re: Victoria wants another million people
I'd prefer there was a greatly lower population but here we are in the here and now in a grotesquely over populated world with social attitudes and technologies that will give Australia and some other contries what is probably the most aged society in history.
