Default Record number of arrivals swells population

Record number of arrivals swells population Figures suggest we're experiencing the biggest boom since the 1950s, writes Kelsey Munro. A COMBINATION of high immigration rates and high birth rates has pushed Australia to a record population boom.

Demographer Peter McDonald from the Australian National University said it was primarily the migration rate that was driving Australia's population boom.

"Most of it is contributed by long-term temporary movements, such as:
  • overseas students,
  • New Zealanders,
  • long-stay business visas and
  • working holidaymakers"
"They now form a very substantial part of the Australian labour force."

Nothing to do with that - it's the bogan's cashing in on their $5k baby bond.
