What is the size of the Internet Population in Australia

Anyone got any figures for this year?

Does anyone have recent figures of the the size of the Internet population of Australia?

I have checked the ABS and Google thoroughly and can't turn up anything recent...the best I can do is 10.63 million sometime in 2002.

Any resources or actual numbers would be appreciated.

This thread [webmasterworld.com] may help you there.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link Chuma. I hadn't read that one yet.

However, it appears to be about 2 years old now. Maybe I can talk Woz into doing an update ;)

What English is not the official language for Australia?

Remember many of these users will be young school children and infrequent users.

I've bugged Woz about updating those before and even when I provided a whole slew of data for him he didn't have the time. ;) How about it Woz? I think we could all chip in some revised data for you. That was a great reference when you first made it.

Might have to do some digging. If I turn up some specific numbers I'll let you know.

I actually read something in the paper last weekend - I'll see if I've still got it.
