encouraging economic restructuring in overseas countries
Does this mean like the American's are doing in Iraq? I can't imagine why it wouldn't be popular.

It could be of interest to see if age has an effect on opinion on the issue of Australia's population. I have a theory that many of us who remember what Australia used to be like 50 years ago are more likely to want a lower population.

Less than 46% believe that Australia should increase in population, interesting.

More than half of the respondents do not want a larger population. If this survey was much larger I believe that that percentage would be larger. The rapid growth that we have experienced in recent years has forced a fiscal infrastructure gap that has caused a decline in health, education and other services. We need a moratorium on population growth to allow for proper infrastructure planning and implementation instead of our current crisis management by state governments.

the business model demands market expansion...so the migrant intake is expanded to accomodate....a very flawed model indeed.

People are misled by the drivers of population who want a bigger market and labor force.
Our standard of living must go down if we have a bigger population, with less water and oil, fewer resources, food sources, countryside, farmland and more congestion and shortages.
