Queensland remains top destination for interstate migrants

OESR’s latest Population Growth Highlights and Trends report released on Friday notes:

Despite Queensland’s relatively low level of net interstate migration in 2010, its net gain of 7,200 was the largest of all Australian states. Victoria gained 2,900 new residents and Western Australia 3,900. Tasmania’s was the only other state to record a net gain, albeit modest. The remaining states and territories had net interstate migration losses, led by New South Wales (11,200 people).

The net interstate flows are summarised in this great chart from the report:
