@spiderman14; please provide a link to the data / article you've based your assertions on.
Last I heard some older Victorians were indeed still moving to Qld for warmer weather and to avoid lockdowns. But since Parliament passed legislation enabling the Minister for Health to determine lockdowns instead of the CHO lockdowns have long since been lifted.
Victoria now has a mad scramble for workers - the loss of Chinese students due to Morrison's Government has indeed deprived Victoria of many thousands of casual workers and since they now head to the UK and to the USA they seem unlikely to return anytime soon.
Melbourne is indeed bursting at the seams and what used to be sleepy Traralgon, Geelong and Ballarat are now so interconnected with it that they're virtual dormitory suburbs. Travel along the River Murray and you'll find that what used to be regional and remote are now bustling regional communities - Yarrawonga as an example is three times as large as it was in the 1970s and Shepparton is no longer sleepy hollow!
From just over one million people when I was born to more than five million today and projected to reach eight million by 2060, Melbourne is on track to overtake Sydney as Australia's major city. Therein lies a major challenge for government - PLANNING the core infrastructure essential to service new communities and to undertake essential urban renewal.
We've a government working it's butt off to do that. We've also an Opposition which says it won't do that and will revert to sitting on the government benches, focusing on fueling property speculation and taking short cuts aka the wasted Baillieu-Napthine years.
