National population data gets published with about a six-month delay. As of this week we know the Australian population count as of September 30, 2022. For those playing along at home, Australia is now home to 26,124,814 people – without you that’s only 26,124,813 people. See, you matter!
The big story is that Australia saw a record high net overseas migration intake in September. Net overseas migration is calculated by subtracting the number of migrants that left the nation from the number of migrants that entered the nation.
