#Water the forgotten cost of Big Australia.

The next #drought will be a wake up call.

As we mass import people from the world's most populous countries.

Maybe it's time we asked ourselves: Just what is it they're trying to escape?

Let's protect our quality of life,

This year nearly 1/2 a million more people will arrive in #Australia than leave.

This is what half a million looks like-

#Australia has become a #population ponzi economy.

... and we all know how ponzi schemes end!

Look at the most populous countries on earth.

What is it about them we desire?
Why are people leaving them for lower density places?

Do people really want to live like this?

Say NO to a Big Australia!

We recycle,
we use paper straws,
we use "renewable" energy,
we try to consume less, even go vegan,
we use public transport,
we live in tiny houses, 15th storey flats,

... yet still our footprint grows upon this land, as our population expands.

RBA deputy governor Andrew Hauser says Australia needs a new "Golden Age" of economic thinking to solve the profound economic challenges of the next few decades.

Wait, are we finally admitting that mass migration is a failure and has caused Australia's economic challenges?

Is this where Australia is heading?
Seems eerily familiar...
July 9, 2025 at 1:56 AM
Worth noting (to illustrate the sheer magnitude of our #overshoot)
that Australia's pre-European colonisation population was around 1 million for 10's of 1,000s of years...
each living very non-impactful lives.

Now 28 mill- all wanting mod cons.

Finally young people are catching on as their futures are being destroyed by immigration fuelled population growth-

Massive population growth does nothing to help economies.

It does however grow GDP which is a false indicator of well being & economic resilience. It also props up the development industry as well as over inflated housing markets.

Every other sector of society pays the price.

It is wrong to say that Australians VOTED for continued mass immigration/population expansion...

when every major party, & the independents, closed ranks to keep it from being an election issue.

YOU DIDN'T GET A SAY!

Australia has no special immunity from the destructive power of human population growth.

Unless we stabilise NOW-
we WILL join the rest of the world in poverty & eco-ruin.
February 22, 2025 at 3:11 AM
Living with population growth...

&, so long as mass immigration* continues it will only get worse.

*Australia's population explosion is almost entirely immigration driven.

What is with this complete taboo on mentioning #overpopulation?
Why is everyone so scared of even attempting a rational conversation on the economics/environmental impacts of it.

We just don't understand where this has come from.
(note: now over 8 billion- & still, we mustn't talk about it)

#ClimateEmergency is a symptom, just one of many,
... of overshoot.

#degrowth alleviates all the symptoms simultaneously.

Australians are being bamboozled by those invested in the Big Australia population agenda... and their puppet politicians/journalists.

The most dangerous bamboozle in our history.

Nothing a few million more migrants won't fix- ?

Too many see our stunning & unique #desert ecosystems as wasted land- needing to be "developed" & populated by humans- for profit.
Why not leave them as they are?

News Flash- immigration still on the rise!

ABS data shows net perm. & long-term arrivals from January to September 2024 were 391,850, the highest September year-to-date on record.
The previous record set in 2023 was 390,580.12 Nov 2024

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.
January 18, 2025 at 7:58 AM
So called "growth" is nothing more than a brand name.

Misapplied to human expansionism and profit seeking at the cost of our earth.

What they call "growth" - we call greed, selfishness and demolition of a perfectly good planet!
January 17, 2025 at 12:46 AM
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!
