The state shrank by enough people to fill the Victorian border city of Wodonga in the 12 months to March on Australian Bureau of Statistics data.
With the international border also closed, offshore migration also failed to make up for those leaving the state.
PS, its nearly time for me to head back to QLD, l love that kind of weather.

Yep your last line says it all.
Old Australians move to QLD. (And so will I soon, I love it up there)
New Australians migrate from overseas to the less tropical and humid, larger cities with bigger education hubs of Melbourne and a lesser extent Sydney.
International migrants much prefer Melbourne and due to cost a lesser extent Sydney.
Once the borders reopen this will go straight back to normal.
