Perth, 21 June 2012 (MIA) - Nearly 100.000 citizens with Macedonian origin live in Australia, according to a recent census.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics has unveiled initial results from last year's census, which show that 22.485.300 people live in Australia, out of which 93.570 have Macedonian background. According to the 2006 census, there were 83.978 people with Macedonian origin.

According to results, 68.849 stated that they spoke Macedonian in addition to English, while 40.222 said they were born in Macedonia.

In the 2006 census, 67.833 declared that they spoke Macedonian and 40.656 that they were born in Macedonia.

At a meeting with representatives of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Macedonia's honorary consul Zoran Koseski welcomed the census results, which "are a fresh impulse for the development of the Macedonian community in Australia and the development of bilateral ties with Macedonia." ba/17:15

One, MAJOR MISCONCEPTION about Grkomani in diaspora countries .. not, very well respected within Greece .. dislike and seldom trust ANY outsiders. Not, long ago the Pano Mak Ass were involved in a serious "pension scandal" and it's been down hill ever since.

ANY, G'RKOMAN READING THIS GETTING PENSION MONEY FROM GREECE ILLEGALLY? YOU, KNOW ANY G'RKOMAN THAT CHANGED THEIR LAST NAME? WHY? MORE, THAN ONE PENSION PAYMENT AND OR HIDING FROM GREEK LAW.

I had my 4 of my family members in Macedonia on holiday last August when the census took place here in Oz and I remember calling the local rep to explain that all he people in my Fathers household were away in Europe holiday, how many more Macedonians would of been in August from Australia at that time.

Welcome Mad Mako,
You make a good point.. How many Macedonians in August that were still on Holidays in Macedonia..?
I knew several families that were over there at the time...Not to mention others that were at other destinations..
I know a few Macedonians that were temporally away at that time for work in Asia and USA..
So there could be at least a couple of thousands that were not countered for..
