Without numbers it is the Greens policy that is just words, meaningless and pie in the sky. If the Greens say they are concerned about sustainability, OK then, so what should Australia's maximum population be and how soon should that be achieved?

Quite obviously the Greens don't believe that the population limit and the resources available have been exceeded or else they would be opposing immigration, or at least setting targets, wouldn't they? But even so, the Greens should be setting maximumum intakes from any source to ensure whatever limit of population they decree for Australia isn't over-run and generations to come have some flexibility.

What is concerning though, is that the only ones the Greens sledge as 'breeders' and allegedly responsible for 'over-population' are our own young Aussie couples. But it is easily demonstrated from Australian Bureau of Census numbers that young Aussie couples are not having the children they want because they can't afford to have them anyhow and it has been that way for years.

Nonetheless, where any foreigner is concerned, economic migrant or legal migrant alike, the Greens enthusiastically throw open the doors with no limits at all. Again, how does that figure?

Dear onthebeach,

You are doing the sledging. You say the Greens made statements about 'breeders'. Please state which Greens said it and if they were speaking for the Greens when they said it. For all I can see you are repeating garbage as though it is fact. Mud slinging is quite common in politics and in olo. It is much easier than substantiating one's statements. I am getting tired of your nonsense. I will reply if you provide evidence for your statements.
