22 Million

Today, Australia's population reached 22 million..at 1.59pm.

I find it fascinating that we are being counted so meticulously, but of course we need the stats for demography planning etc. I also find it amazing we are gaining 1 person every 1 minute and 12 seconds!!.. by my (admittedly inferior) maths.. that means 1200 new people every single day>>>Can that be right??? If anyone can check the maths and correct this, pls let me now..it seems like a lot of ppl!!..more than a footy crowd..more than your average school..enough people to create a whole new suburb every 10days!!....Megan is worried about where we'll put them...She feels they may have to live in the desert like those houses in Tunisia!!!
