Population size is not an indication of prosperity or security. Already housing affordability has crashed, and we can’t keep paying more for energy and water while we get less of it!

“Many critics of the Australian migration program are blaming immigrants to Australia for the rise.”

Yes I am a critic of our massive population growth, but, I am not blaming “immigrants” I am blaming our nations immigration policy. Subtle distinction but, very important. I think the author of this article knows why!

We are well on the way to realizing Lindsay Tanner’s vision of being the Bangladesh of the South Pacific. Remember a few months ago when Tanner, along with KPMG “demographer” Bernard Salt, chastised immigration critics with comments like “what would people in Bangladesh think if we cut our immigration program”. It seems that we just have to turn ourselves into a third world slum,otherwise we risk offending poor foreigners. Makes sense to me.

As a skilled engineer with more than 15 years experience, i spent 9 months of last year unemployed so that Aust could keep importing migrant professional workers. after living in brisbane for 34 years i was forced to leave to look for work in nsw. I have been sacked 5 times for no other reason than to make way for underskilled migrants from 3rd world countries. there are engineering projects that are blatantly discrimnating against australian born engineers so that they can import migrants from 3rd world countries…….

Kev07 is an idiot obsessed with immigration at the expense of australian voters employment. India increases its population by 22million every year, whats the plan here….perhaps we should rescue india by relocating $1billion people to australia???

Kevin Rudd should certainly apologize for imposing his whim of a “big Australia” recklessly onto Australia. He has no right to jeopardize our future without an independent assessment of just what an optimum population would be for our nation. His reasons are flimsy and totally lack substance. Population size is not an indication of prosperity or security. Already housing affordability has crashed, and we can’t keep paying more for energy and water while we get less of it!
We need a population policy for Australia so future leaders have can’t just expect the public to accommodate their dangerous fetishes.
