OVER TWO MILLIONS
VICTORIA’S POPULATION LATEST STATE ESTIMATES (Rec. 9.50) MELBOURNE, Jan. 29. Victoria’s population passed the two millions mark during 1945, according to provisional figures submitted" by the Commonwealth Government to the Premiers’ Conference. Because of the enlistments and of abnormal migration which occurred during the war, accurate estimates of population are hard to make. A census will be held as early as possible, and probably some time after June, 1947. According' to the latest Commonwealth estimates, the population of Australia is now seven million three hundred and twenty-two thousand. It is divided among States as follows:— New South Wales 2,885,000 Victoria 2,006,000 Queensland 1,071,000 South Australia 625,000 Western Australia 488,000 Tasmania 247,000
