The people already here have done massive and quite probably permanent damage to the Australian environment and more will just accelerate the loss of topsoil, rivers, farmland, clean air and water, wildlife and amenity for all of us who inhabit this arid and infertile land

Do you say the same story with the others?
Do not you know that we 22 millions live on a whole continent?
Do not you see that 43% of our land belong to CROWN and it is not used good enouph and is leased for pinuts?Give this land to australians and we will multiplay our agricultural products!
Do you see how much flood water we lost last year in East Coast because we do not have enouph water dams, because we do not have a good water managment system?
Do you know that we can build desalination plants and cover our needs in water and convert our deserts in forests? Oceans have plenty water let's use it for australians and for the whole planet!

Do you afraid from migrants and refugees? as the climate change, as the Ocean waters race, as 100nds of thousands of migrants will start moving around on the globe we, with our whole continent, should support them! If you are not ready for some million more people how you can be ready to host 100nds of millions of migrants?
I thought you are internationalists but you scare me, you seem as nationalists!
Instead of less migrants or refugees let's use our land with a smarter, more productive way.

Ludwig,
I don't want to discourage you and your statements are true and accurate.

You have much patience!

Some people just get silly notions. There are none so blind etc.

Belly, there are times I seriously question our compulsory voting and what is more, they get to breed.

I largely agree with Ludwig...

although,in previous centuries, asian population pressures might not have been sufficient to encourage wide scale colonisation anyway.

Additionally, we should remember it was western European medicine which has eradicated many of the limiting, disease based, population-regulators.

Jacksonn,
I see this is only your second post.
