On 2 April 2010, Rudd appointed Burke as Minister for Population.[4] The appointment came after Rudd stated he was in favour of a "big Australia" in response to demographic projections in the Government's Intergenerational Report showing the population of Australia would increase from 22 million in 2010 to 35 million in 2050.[9] Burke's responsibilities included planning for the growth in Australia's population and coordinating the provision of services accordingly.
