20 000 000

The ABS have told us on Thursday, or Friday last week, the Twenty-Millionth Australian was born.

This projection is based on the estimated resident population at 31 March 2003 and assumes growth since then of:

* one birth every 2 minutes and 6 seconds,
* one death every 3 minutes and 56 seconds,
* a net gain of one international migrant every 3 minutes and 51 seconds leading to
* an overall total population increase of one person every 2 minutes and 4 seconds.

Each of these souls are valuable to God, He knows all their names, he has numbered their days, they are all made in His image.

May God have mercy on us all.
