Victoria is now home to 43,000 fewer people than at the start of the pandemic, making it the only state or territory to record a drop in population since coronavirus hit Australia.

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.

Good to see someone else thinking along the same lines. The redistribution of population, and evening out density is not all bad news.

We were due for a clean out.

Those not up for rebuilding Vic post pandemic, well, they are welcome to leave IMHO.

On today's protest, whoever kicked the dog (identity seems pretty obvious) is in a lot of strife. Interesting that it has infuriated more people than the protest itself.
