All those concerned please sign this petition. “We the undersigned are concerned at the rate of population growth in Australia. In this, we join the 72% of the Australians surveyed in the Australian Survey of Social Attitudes, who agreed that Australia does not need more people. We request that the Federal Government take all necessary steps to stabilise the population at close to the current level.” Posted by Boylesy, Monday, 28 May 2012 11:31:53 AM

But in reference to this:
"Bringing more people into the country will just force us into a crunch sooner that it would otherwise occur."
I would rather run the likes Ross out of this country than have them force the above on us prematurely and to a worse degree than would otherwise be the case.
Those like Ross who can't see or wont see the bleeding obvious, due to a combination of ecological/scientific illiteracy and economic ideology, are rapidly becoming a preeminent danger to western civilisation.
We allow them to continue having major influence on our government and society in general at our peril.
However I am heartened that the tables have well and truly turned on them. A few years ago opinion pieces like Ross's were virtually unchallenged if anything was even written explicitly about this in the first place.
But now it seems every time one of his kind posts an opinion piece like this they are pumelled with varying degrees of redicule with only very occasional supportive comments.
And they don't like it one bit! Hence they resort to the usual hysterical slurs of racism, anti-people, facists, selfish, blah blah blah.
It is rather amusing watching them squirm with their slurs actually.
