From a genuine environmentalist point of view-
there is no greater immediate threat to our #biodiversity than an expanding human population.

The #overpopulation problem being that most people, especially it seems, politicians & neo-liberal economists,
are totally incapable of thinking systemically & multi-dimensionally!

Hence Big Australia rolls on- bulldozing our environment & our quality of life.

We're sick to death of fake "environmentalists" bleating on about the threats to our #wildlife,

... while simultaneously denying that the massive expansion of our population is a key factor.

Why, despite millions of temp/perm migrants do we still have a "skills shortage"?

Perhaps it was never really about that?

Perhaps we've been lied to by the #property lobby & their puppets-
seeking nothing but renters/buyers to drive the #housing bubble?

es we know-
the billionaires are out there scaremongering against the idea of population stability/decline (& guess who controls the media?)

Why?
because their business models depend 100% on never ending population growth!

Australia is not coping with the size of the current population.
So why grow it?

With the housing sector sucking this much wealth.
With wages doing this.
With one massive infrastructure support bill attached,
.. just how are Australians benefiting from mass immigration?

Time for a population cap- 30 mill. - no more.

FYI..
They have removed the word "temporary" from the new name of the former Skills shortage visa (formerly 457 visa).

It is now called a Skills in demand visa and is essentially a Temp to Permanent visa, with no cap on it.

Big Australia devours our country.

“Even though population growth has fallen from 2.5% to 2.1% since the March quarter’s figures, it is still comparable to Madagascar, Gambia, Ghana & the Ivory Coast, none of which are models of economic or environmental success.”

To continue to indulge in the belief that increasing our #population now leads to any real gain, or to mutual benefit for the majority,
.. is surely the ultimate in neo-liberalist blind faith & reckless irresponsibility.

The number of trees needed to build a house depends on the size of the house & the type of timber used.

A modest-sized home can require 20 to 40 trees.

If we stabilise our population- we need virtually no new homes.

what then?

Resources p/capita matter!

Doubling our population means halving the income we each get from mining & primary industries.

Why is it that you NEVER hear our politicians/population growth advocates nominate an end date or number?

Answer: because theirs is a ponzi scheme- it can never stop growing. This is the disaster they've committed Australia to.

The idea that social or economic progress is dependent on population growth is dangerous, self defeating nonsense.

In fact, in today's grossly overcrowded world- the opposite is true.
