SYDNEY POPULATION TO GROW ONE MILLION IN NEXT 15 YEARS

The article doesn't mention where these immigrants are coming from and why?

SYDNEY'S population will grow by nearly 1 million people by 2021 due to the Rudd Government's expansion of the immigration program - putting huge strain on the city's public transport, health, education and housing.

A leading demographer, Bob Birrell, said the immigration intake would pump up the city's population to more than 5.1 million, up from about 4.3 million now and 350,000 more than planners had expected.
