The world is very populated. Australia's population is high.

Arable land has been built over and soil quality is poor.

The global food supply is short.

Water is in limited supply.

Oceans are full of litter.

Weather is affecting crops on farms.

There is only a select array of foods on the shelves.

Many farms have shut or have been taken over by large companies.

What then? After all, this is more than CPI.

I have made a special effort to speak & discuss the merits of Flat Tax, National Service & all other issues I draw attention to here with both staunch Labor & Liberal/National/One Nation supporters. The surprising part is that all agree strongly with the need for a National Service Tax reform, Welfare reform, in fact anything & everything that evolves around saving the social deterioration of this Nation.
Those who literally oppose such an effort are exclusively from the Public service, particularly Teachers & those with academic background & some retired bureaucrats who are now in consultancy work. These people all ask for increased funding in anything one can think of yet
they strongly object to anything that requires them to contribute.
It really is a shocking state of affairs & it is the Leftist Media that fosters & feeds this appalling mentality !
Search within your conscience at this upcoming federal election which is very likely the most critical election in this nation's history ! Remember, there is a realistic third option for the first time, Independents.

Nathan much as it is today the well off would live much as they do today and the rest go hungry
You may well be talking of a very real future,the world is largely ignoring the fact some parts of it are overpopulated right now
Any country that can not feed its population, house them, have enough water for them, is overpopulated
It will get worse, yesterday's press warned a third of all Africans wanted to migrate
Yes those who have it will pay more to eat, but those without?

a third of all Africans wanted to migrate
Belly,
They don't really want to, they're forced to by those with that certain agenda !

yet again old mate indy you believe in weird stuff
I get the feeling if the very right ever took over you would be one of its first victims

Dear Nathan,

«$25.00 per loaf, milk at $15.00 per litre and fruit and vegetables starting at $10.00 per kilogram»

This is already the case for some:

If you are allergic/intolerant to both gluten and yeast, but still insist on a proper loaf of bread (rather than live on rice-crackers), then it would cost you about as much.
If you cannot have cow-milk (unhealthy for humans anyway) nor even goat-milk, yet you insist on dairy, then sheep-milk would cost you about as much.
Then try finding fruits or vegetables in a certified-organic store for less than $10/Kg...

In biblical times they used to eat their children under such circumstances:

{
Some time later, Ben-Hadad king of Aram mobilized his entire army and marched up and laid siege to Samaria.
There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”
Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?”
She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’
So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”
