Interstate migration to Queensland has been at low levels recently but I expect it to rebound as a result of Australia’s two-speed economy. As growth in NSW and Victoria will be sluggish compared with Queensland and WA, I expect many households will relocate to the booming States. And with Queensland being closer than WA, and a lot less remote and intimidating, Queensland is likely to get a large majority of interstate migrants. Indeed, the State of NSW Survey published today by the McKell Institute (a new left-of-centre think tank) confirms that Queensland would be the most popular destination for anyone leaving NSW:
According to this chart, 40% of the 25% of people who would prefer to live in a State other than NSW would prefer to live in Queensland, meaning 10% of the NSW population would prefer to live in Queensland.
