Australia’s population has now ticked over 28 million after the Albanese government exceeded its net overseas migration numbers.
Daily Mail reports that data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics revealed on Tuesday the nation’s population was estimated at 28,000,212 at the time of publication.

The population clock is based on a range of estimates, including that one person arrives to live in the country every 59 seconds.
One baby is born every two minutes and 16 seconds, and one person dies every three minutes and 33 seconds.
One Australian resident is estimated to live overseas every two minutes and 35 seconds.
The data comes weeks after the Albanese government’s budget papers showed Australia will welcome 35,000 additional people in 2025-26 compared to the previous years.
An extra 20,000 people will be welcomed in the 2026-27 financial year.
This means there will be a total net overseas migration of 1.2 million people between 2025 and 2030.
The Treasury said the increased forecast was caused by migrants on temporary visas departing at “lower rates than in the past”
