Locals continue to leave Sydney as overseas migration ensures steady population growth

Sky News host Caleb Bond analyses a research article that suggests Sydney’s population would be declining if not for overseas migration.

“Some really interesting numbers that have been crunched out of the ABS data in Sydney … found that if it weren’t for overseas migration, Sydney would actually be going backwards in terms of its population,” Mr Bond said.

“More people are leaving Sydney than moving to it within Australia.”
