I was quite surprised to just read Goldman is forecasting a decline in population in the years ahead, if that turns out to be accurate.. I knew we would have lower immigration due to reduced job prospects, but wasn't figuring on a net decrease..
"We estimate Australia's population will likely be 260,000 smaller by the end of 2015, 410,000 smaller by the end of 2016 and 530,000 smaller by the end of 2017," http://www.cnbc.com/id/102587100
