Australia's population to hit 40m in 40 years - we must take action now!

Australia's population is set to hit 40 million people in 40 years time. It's simply something we can't sustain in Australia, and we need to take drastic action - now.

I am openly putting that we put a tough limit on economic migrants to Australia. We have to be affirmative, and we have to consider future generations of people and the environment.

Our rivers will continue to dry up. I mean we can't take water from them forever and with 40 million people in Australia our rivers won't be able to cope with the demand. We can only water so many crops to feed people here and there are only so many places to build homes, unless you want to live in the desert.

Our roads will get busier too and our general lives will be busier as we have to deal with so many more people here.

No, what I have to say here won't be popular, but Australia is generally a well off, high use, materialistic, throw away society. The damage will only get worse as we increase our population to 40 million.

Our population is getting larger, yet we have no serious targets when it comes to reducing climate change or waste going to landfill. We can barely look after those we have here now, including the homeless and those in nursing homes, let alone 40 million people in total in 40 years time.

I call on people to stand with me side by side to see Australia's population kept at a sustainable level.

Both major parties are big immigration fiends, so there is nothing we can do about it. Politicians of all hues have more in common with each other than they have with us, their constituents. The Albanese government’s extreme mass immigration is driving Australia’s housing shortage; but the so-called opposition is saying nothing. So, voting for one or the other party will make no difference; and most voters won't vote for anyone different.

So, Nathan, you are just going to have to suck it up. We all are. It's been a long time since ordinary Australians had any say in their country. Totalitarianism has crept up on us because we are complacent. It's our own stupid fault.

Dear NathanJ and ttbn,

One factor that should determine population limits is the availability of fresh water. Australia has only 3% of the fresh water that the US has, but it is approximately the same size as the US. I don't think the technology is available to either create new rivers or to convert massive amounts of salt to fresh water. Population policy should reflect that fact, but it won't.

Other Australian activities reflect disregard for wise use of Australia's water resources. Growing cotton is water intensive. The US and China have enough fresh water to support that activity. Australia doesn't, but Australia grows cotton.

Agricultural and population policy should take the availability of Australian water resources into account.

#Agricultural and population policy should take the availability of Australian water resources into account.#

The beloved Labor Party is proposing a massive water buy back policy.

More money in the back pocket of wealthy irrigationists, with little expected change.

Since those farms are extensively foreign owned, predominantly US, one can only conclude, a bribe to the US is now on the cards to supply enough water for domestic purposes into the future.

Water will now join energy as unaffordable. We’re being screwed by the US!

There is no shortage of water in Australia. There is a shortage of ability, common sense, dams. Most of the water that hits Australia goes out to sea. As we have two political parties in lockstep on mass immigration, so do we have two political parties in lockstep on incompetence, cowardice and stupidity.

Forger the environment as a reason to stop immigration. Nobody really cares about the environment, as the current desecration of the environment - rain forest and farming land - with hideous windmills and solar panels clearly shows. Australian people simply do not want any more people here; unnecessary people from Third World countries who can't be understood. These people are being used by really nasty politicians to further divide our country and smother our identity.

Let's have the honesty and courage to say what we mean.

Lunatics at Redland Bay primary school in Brisbane are teaching little kids that non-indigenous people are not to be called Australians, white people or settlers; they are to be known as non-indigenous people, non-indigenous Australians, colonisers, occupiers, or people of European descent.

Where does that leave the masses of immigrants who are neither white, colonisers, or European?
