    REMINDER! Australia Census - Macedonians in Australia

    Nearly 100 thousand Macedonians live in Australia


    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

          Just goes to show how many are either afraid or too dumb to call themselves Macedonian!

              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.

                    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..
                    The Macedonians originates it, the Bulgarians imitate it and the Greeks exploit it!

                      I was in Mak in August and it irritated me not being able to fill out the census form -

                        All thou majority claim to be Macedonian Orthodox 43,068 & 14,676 Macedonians claimed to be of Eastern Orthodox
                        What concerns me is that 5,381 Macedonian claim to be of greek Orthodox religion.......?
                        And another example, The Serbian showing 4,254 of greek Orthodox religion...
                        I can understand some Macedonians being Grekomani but What is wrong with most of these people.. Are they too dumb or too lazy to fill out the census correctly...?


                        In Greek Census, Not one claimed to have been Born in the greek Province of Macedonia.. where are all these proud greek-Macedonians..?


                        The Albanians, shows population of just under 10,000 in Australia and it indicates that 1,829 Albanians born in Macedonia, 20.4% that have migrated to Australia


                        Surprised to see such a small population of Bulgarians in Australia under 3,000 if I haven’t got the stats wrong...
                        I’m curious to know why Bulgaria didn’t have a big influx of immigrated to Australia like the other Balkan Nations..?
                        I notice that there were 7 claiming to Bulgarians born in Macedonia..?
                        Also it shows that majority of 665 Bulgarians at 28.7% claim to be of greek Orthodox religion...? WTF
                        Funny that none claim to be of Bulgarian Orthodox, but 466 of them 20.1% noted of Eastern Orthodox, 27 of them claim to be of Russian Orthodox


                        We are by Far greater then Serbians, Croatians or any other Balkan Nation excluding Greece, yet we cannot manage to own our Clubs... etc
                        The Macedonians originates it, the Bulgarians imitate it and the Greeks exploit it!

                          ...the July/August period is a busy period for Australian Macedonians travelling back to Macedonia, that's for sure...

                            ...my good friend Osiris would be mortified by the claim that all of shep is grkoman.

                              I assume that's the old baba and dedo egej's who never converted to the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
