If Australia's Prime Minister was prime minister of a men's legislature in leadership with the Prime Minister of a women's legislature the nation's population of whatever size would be sustainable.
patriarchy is poulation imperfect.

I was thinking about the age-old legend of the Inland Sea, achievable according to some by the irrigation of salt water canal/s from the Bight to the central salt lakes which if I recall lie below sea level in some places., although there appears to a current discussion on this topic on another forum which I only just found after a quick search:

The evaporation/precipitation in the Dead Heart and the long-term possibility of fertile soils to feed and water an evergrowing population of Australians.

Now though, I'm intrigued by Whistler's suggestion, for as a Western Australian, seccession and division of the continent into two separate nations is a fairly natural geographical progression. Seccession by gender could save some overland transportation costs, and I'd have to agree that the separation of economic budgets along gender lines would be a bonus IMHO.

When our population was around 11 million in the 60's most struggled to own a home, eat out or own a TV. Now with a population of around 21 million most have a choice of food daily, have more than one TV in the house and have a holiday most years. Drrr. The more people we have in this nation the higher standard of living the vast majority have had traditionally. The doomsdayers in the 70's complained that we were over populated. What a load of lies so many swallow when it comes to this nation being overpopulated. The perverse Greens just hate people. Kill off a few animals if you really believe we don't have enough food and water. Of course we have an abundance for many more yet. The Greens are the first to scream when we reject illegal immigrants or adopt sensible selective immigration policies and then the first to preach their doom and gloom human hating dogmas. If we are a smart country we will continue to grow by natural means and importing grateful migrants. As our national anthem goes (you get the drift - only the legal drift)

Let's face it- ALL of Labor, Liberal and the Nationals would push this idiocy on behalf of big business and particularly the property developers. Rudd, Turnbull, Barnaby, the "Small l Liberals" would jump into bed with them at the drop of a hat.

The sooner we put ALL of these clowns at the bottom of the ballot where they now belong the sooner this will be averted.

Instead, you can vote for parties that clearly show a reluctance towards rapid population growth.

Feel free to google Australian political parties, and check out some policies.

Does anyone know what happened to my earlier
post on this thread?

Did anyone see it?

I think I'm losing my mind - I could have
sworn that I posted it, read it, and now
it's gone.

Why?
