What's your evidence? Here in Melbourne Starlings and Mynas seem to cohabit comfortably. Noisy Miners will see the Mynas (but not the Starlings?) off. Even around here where the Mynas were introduced over 100 years ago to keep down the insect pests - and failed (like the Cane Toads). The Noisy Miners did not become dominant for another 100 years. They really enjoy the introduction of exotic gums (nectar all year round!), clearing of understorey (much less scary for humans); and management to keep it like that.
