'In order for Australia to prosper'... We are already prosperous, among the most so in the world. Our living standards are going down. HDI goes up with wealth, but new studies that include life satisfaction are showing Australians are getting lost in the fast paced 'money is happiness' ideology. Population goes up, long term wealth goes down, environment goes down, happiness goes down, quality of life goes down, crowding/congestion goes up. There is hardly a good side to increased population.
The sad thing is, we're ignoring the clear overseas examples of exactly what you describe. You only have to look at the UK and Eu. Britain for example, has a massive population, 2.5 million unemployed, a declining environment and standard of living, yet immigration continues at almost 250,000 pa. Even though the pointers are there, many still believe in Rudd's "Big Australia." Why???
@AustraliaProud Big people and big companies with big power. That's why. It's a bureaucracy. The power should be with the people. America is a perfect example of what we're headed for. Scandinavia is a perfect example of what we should be aspiring to.
So, population growth in australia is a problem. But what do they propose to do about it? Stricter immigration laws? Incentives against families which have too many kids?
@pieterdale Could you give an example? I could not find one example although I have seen enormous numbers of ethnic violence almost everywhere. Yugoslavia (Bosnia), Middle East (Israel), Asia (Cambodia / Korea) , India, Kashmir, Nigeria have endless death due to ethnic and religious violence.
Stop immigration, we wouldn't need it if we have more kids. Immigration will leave Australia worse than the countries of those who immigrate.

Population increase proponents obviously think we're stupid. They obviously have a licence to insult our intelligence.
