Resources p/capita matter!
Doubling our population means halving the income we each get from mining & primary industries.

🔽 From 13 years ago (now 8.2 billion) but the point remains valid.
es we know-
the billionaires are out there scaremongering against the idea of population stability/decline (& guess who controls the media?)
Why?
because their business models depend 100% on never ending population growth!
#popcap30M
Why is it that you NEVER hear our politicians/population growth advocates nominate an end date or number?
Answer: because theirs is a ponzi scheme- it can never stop growing. This is the disaster they've committed Australia to.
Population cap 30 million
#popcap30M
Why, despite millions of temp/perm migrants do we still have a "skills shortage"?
Perhaps it was never really about that?
Perhaps we've been lied to by the #property lobby & their puppets
seeking nothing but renters/buyers to drive the #housing bubble?

FACT:
When you grow your population, you demand more of your land.

“The reality is that Australian tenants will continue to suffer so long as the federal government continues to import extreme volumes of renters from overseas.”
Stabilise our population!

We're sick to death of fake "environmentalists" bleating on about the threats to our #wildlife,
... while simultaneously denying that the massive expansion of our population is a key factor.

The #overpopulation problem being that most people, especially it seems, politicians & neo-liberal economists,
are totally incapable of thinking systemically & multi-dimensionally!
Hence Big Australia rolls on- bulldozing our environment & our quality of life.

Maintaining mass immigration through a #housingcrisis is like pouring petrol on a fire,
... and wondering why you can't put it out!

Our politicians & so-called “experts” paint our #housingcrisis as a lack of supply
However the crisis is primarily a problem of excessive #population demand
We'll never build enough homes so long as we add so many people via immigration every year

The idea that social or economic progress is dependent on population growth is dangerous, self defeating nonsense.
In fact, in today's grossly overcrowded world- the opposite is true.

To continue to indulge in the belief that increasing our #population now leads to any real gain, or to mutual benefit for the majority,
.. is surely the ultimate in neo-liberalist blind faith & reckless irresponsibility.

FYI..
They have removed the word "temporary" from the new name of the former Skills shortage visa (formerly 457 visa).
It is now called a Skills in demand visa and is essentially a Temp to Permanent visa, with no cap on it.
Big Australia devours our country.
#popcap30M
and when these millions of migrants age?
what then?
... tens of millions?
... then hundreds of millions?
You are witnessing the destruction of Australia as we knew it- all thanks to irresponsible immigration policies

The number of trees needed to build a house depends on the size of the house & the type of timber used.
A modest-sized home can require 20 to 40 trees.
If we stabilise our population- we need virtually no new homes.

“Even though population growth has fallen from 2.5% to 2.1% since the March quarter’s figures, it is still comparable to Madagascar, Gambia, Ghana & the Ivory Coast, none of which are models of economic or environmental success.”

From a genuine environmentalist point of view-
there is no greater immediate threat to our #biodiversity than an expanding human population.

With the housing sector sucking this much wealth.
With wages doing this.
With one massive infrastructure support bill attached,
.. just how are Australians benefiting from mass immigration?
Time for a population cap- 30 mill. - no more.

Massive #immigration fed population increases are driving house prices up,
... & wages down.
Time for a population cap- 30 million, no more.

Is the # for our call to Cap our #population below 30 million.
Australia is not coping with the size of the current population.
So why grow it?
