A FLOOD of migrants and a continuing rise in the birth rate gave Australia its fastest population growth in almost two decades last year.........
The 1.6 per cent increase in the population lifted the national total to 21.2 million.
Australian National University demographer Peter McDonald said the rise made Australia the fastest-growing nation in the developed world.
"The United States has a slightly higher fertility rate but our migration rate is much higher," he said.
The population was boosted by an extraordinary influx of 410,900 migrants and long-term visitors from overseas, far in excess of the 226,400 long-term visitors returning and Australian residents leaving the country.
