A baby born at Armadale Hospital could have been the one to tip Western Australia’s population over three million for the very first time.
Baby Pranisa was born at the Armadale Health Service last Thursday morning at 10.35am, weighing 2.65 kilograms.
Pictured with her mum Manisha, she has now joined join her five-year-old sister Pramisa and father Prakash in their East Cannington home.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics estimates the state hit the three million milestone last Thursday, 24 October, based on an overall total population increase of one person every six minutes and eight seconds.
But with one birth every 17 minutes, one death every 30 minutes, a person arriving from overseas every six minutes, one from another state every 14 minutes, and a West Australian flying the coop every 21 minutes, pinning down the exact moment the state hit three million is a little complicated.
It’s fair to say, however, that little Pranisa is one in three million, and her parents couldn’t be more smitten.
