Lets just wait and see what some other Editors have to say about this matter that don't live in Cairns before you change it back, I ask this because when I used a newspaper as a reliable source to show the population of Thuringowa as 63,000 people, it was changed back and I was told that we have to use the ABS website and the 2006 Census figures, I was also told this on the Townsville and Thuringowa Region population figures, that I have at over 163,000 if I use the source from the Townsville Bully and again when I made the change to the 163,000 figure it got changed back within a few minutes and was told that I need to use the current Census stats, and this is what I have done for years, but now it seems that because it is for Cairns it is ok to use some story from a Cairns based newspaper and I think that this is wrong, if you want to add the 140,000+ to the Cairns page, that is fine but don't have it in the main infobox, just add it in here ""The city is rapidly expanding, with a population of 127,438 (as of Feb, 2006),[4] and is reliant on the sugar and tourism industries.""
Change the 127,438 to the 140,000+ put as of Sept 2007 add your ref and I'm sure this would be fine.
But I would like to here what other editors have to say on this.
Thanks  "
