However, duringthe 1976–96 period, a quite different pattern was evident, with a substantial net internalmigration loss being recorded in both large cities, although international migrationremained an important source of growth, especially in Sydney.Some differences are evident in the most recent decade. In 1996–2001 there was areduced net loss in Sydney, perhaps associated with the growth created by the 2000Olympic Games. However, since then the massive net interstate migration losses haveresumed. In Melbourne there were small net interstate migration gains in 1996–2001but a net out-migration of 18,000 in 2001–06. Hence Sydney, <strong>and</strong> to a much lesserextent Melbourne, have been important sources of internal migrants to the rest of<strong>Australia</strong> while the fact that international migrants have disproportionately settled in<strong>Australia</strong>’s two largest cities has been the major migration driver of their growth.A <strong>Greater</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>: <strong>Population</strong>, Policies <strong>and</strong> Governance82
