How Does this work?

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 December 2009 and assumes growth since then of:

one births every 1 minute and 47 seconds,

one death every 3 minutes and 44 seconds,

a net gain of one international migration every 1 minute and 54 seconds, leading to

an overall total population increase of one person every 1 minute and 13 seconds.

These assumptions are consistent with figures released in Australian Demographic Statistics, December Quarter 2009 (cat. no. 3101.0).
