Omigod.
Yet *another* anti-SPP rant from Malcolm King.

Why is OLO allowing this author to regurgitate the same "information" over and over and over and over again!

King never just writes about anti-immigration, sustainability or any particular issue.
It's always SPP, SPP, SPP.

So the infiltrators have been infiltrated, eh?

Does it occur to you that different groups simply have overlapping goals?
Allies in one goal don't necessarily support all of each other's divergent goals or their motivations.

Feminists and puritanical Christians both wanted pornography banned in the 1970s.
That agreed on *that* and little else.

"global beef production has increased"

At what cost?
Salinity, deforestation, extinction of endangered species through loss of habitat?

If larger populations automatically produce economic benefits, why are the most populous countries often the poorest *per capita*?

"not that there are too few trains running"

And there is the whole problem with the eternal growth argument.
You *cannot* just add more trains.

Railway lines, like many other resources, are finite.

There can only be so many trains on so many tracks at any one time.
You can't just add more and more and more.

"not because every single person is driving a car."

Well, every single person driving a car wasn't a problem decades ago.
Again, finite. There can only be so many roads.

Even if every one switched to buses, there are only so many buses that can drive on so many roads at any one time.
You can't just keep adding more and more and more.

And if you can't keep adding more and more and more finite resources, then it follows you can't keep adding more and more and more people who use them.

You are the misanthrope who thinks people are just units, packing in as many as you can squeeze.

What would it matter if we could fit another billion people in Australia, if everyone ends up miserable and stressed out?

Get a new obsession, King.

Straw man arguments, the SPP and the SPA are non-racist organisations.

There are many countries with small populations and low population growth rates that demonstrate better economic performance than Australia, large populations are not necessarily the only path to prosperity.

This article appears to be a propaganda piece on behalf of the vested interests who benefit from high population growth rates and also, as usual, expect the taxpayers to pay the bill while they take the profits.

When logic fails and facts don't support an opinion, play the "race card".

This mischievous writer needs to refer to articles like this one - http://www.ibtimes.com/global-poverty-levels-halved-more-africans-extreme-poverty-1990-un-report-1621680 on the UN Millennium Development Goals; it might enlighten him about the bigger picture, one of carrying capacity at given resource consumption levels. While there are overall planetary improvements in human welfare in per-capita terms, the relentlessly growing population negates those improvements in absolute terms. For an example of the extent of the problem, in the last 20 years the number of people living in extreme poverty in the sub-Saharan region increased to 414 million in 2010 from 290 million in 1990. Or, while the number of undernourished and stunted children below the age of five fell to 25 percent of the world’s population in 2010 from 40 percent in 1990, in sub-Saharan Africa, this number rose to 58 million from 44 million. Or, one in four, or 25 percent, of the world’s children were stunted in 2012 as opposed to 40 percent in 1990 (but the absolute number rises with the overall population increase).
I have seen this author refuted with solidly based arguments time and time again, yet he just keeps rising like a phoenix from the literary cesspits.
This deceptive author apparently derives his income from peddling such rubbish; it’s amazing what people will say when there is commercial gain involved.

Faulco Pete,
So what's the solution? What can "we" do about it, that's the "we" which of course everyone knows means White people.
What can "we" at about 8% of the global population do about any of this?
We behave responsibly while Africans are feckless imbeciles by comparison, across sub Saharan Africa the median IQ is around 65-70 so you're dealing with functionally retarded people, they can't learn and they can't see reason.Africa is actually underpopulated, there's vast areas of habitable land with abundant resources, the problem is that when Africans settle somewhere en masse within a few years there's not a blade of grass left as far as the eye can see, they either eat or burn everything in their path.
How can you rein in the populations without resorting to draconian measures?
See Globocnik was only able to proceed in Poland because he could fund his program with monies and property seized from Jews and land seized from Poles. Africans have nothing to seize and the material resources of the continent are already mostly in the hands of globalist corporations.
This professed concern for the welfare of the huddled masses is fake so what's the real ideology behind the SPP?
I don't think this is some sinister plot, I think the SPP is just full of people who like to hear the sound of their own voices, it's just another "fantasy football" type movement with no goals beyond the personal vanity of it's adherents.

Thanks for the plug for SPP and SPA Malcolm. For anyone else who wishes to understand where SPP and SPA are coming from, feel free to view their websites.

You'll be pleased to know Malcolm, that Dick Smith recently endorsed SPP for the WA re-election. I'd be fascinated what sort of vitriol you might spew at him.

Anyway, SPP: http://www.populationparty.org.au/
SPA: http://www.population.org.au/

Jay in answer to your question, it's really about getting informed. Feel free to ask questions on facebook, there are a lot of very positive things happening, but it takes time and there is a lot of resistance and bizarre tirades from the likes of our dear Mr King.

Jay,
It is called "Education".
If we don`t then nature will.
It won`t be pretty.
I am fortunate, I do not have descendants, you probably do.
It is they who will bear the brunt of a dry and hungry future.
