Good News!

According to the Bureau of Statistics in about an hour and a half there will be 25 million Australians.

The ABS population clock estimates Australia's population is increasing by one person every 83 seconds, and the new population record is likely to be set at about 11:00pm (AEST). Australia's population has grown by 400,000 a year over the past three years, ABS says

While we cannot know for certain who the 25 millionth person will be but they would most likely be a young, female Chinese student or skilled worker.

Net overseas migration — the number of arrivals minus departures — currently accounts for 62 per cent of Australia's growth. Natural increase makes up 38 per cent.

The two biggest migrant groups in Australia are Chinese and Indians (since the turn of the 21st century).

Multiculturalism works and thrives.
