Australia's population growth accelerating- set to double in 38 years - we need to STOP!

There is an anthropocentric urge for people to consider the planet purely as a resource for the propagation of their own kind. By extolling their own species' virtues over non-humans, they justify their own growth at the expense of indigenous wildlife and vegetation. Monotheistic fundamentalist religions endorse this attitude. Animals have a herding instinct that makes them "friends" with others of their herd, and while this friendship appears to be altruistic, they also huddle together for protection from predators. When there are threats, a larger herd means that there is less time in the outer part of the herd's boundary, closer to danger. The weaker will be more likely to suffer! A higher population means that the economy, on a meta level, is healthier. With an army of unemployed, and fewer social security benefits, wages will lower and thus benefit the business elite and employers. Governments are sponsored by large businesses, and the building industry has the privileged position of advising the government on policies that advance their own cause. A limiting source of both infrastructures and natural resources means that prices will continue to rise due to competition and bring in more capital for corporations and multinational companies. Measuring population growth as a route to economic advancement ignores the environmental costs, and this will ultimately be spread out over and paid for by more people who will bear the burden. Political terms last a few years, but the issues will be on-going and compound. The effects of over-population are easily greenwashed – and the public’s silence is an advantage for those in power. Maybe humanity's blindness to their own destructive powers and their own over-abundance has evolutionary implications? Maybe climate change will mean a species meltdown to those most adapted to their natural habitat, without the human structures and sources of technology that we have relied on, we will find ourselves without our life-support intact!

I am a long term Australian citizen and live in Melbourne. I went to the Immigration Department to research some documents but I couldn't go inside due to a multitude, a queue of many people that went out into the street! There were muslim women with their faces covered. How do you identify them with the faces covered? There were Africans, Indians, Pakistanis and Arabics. I was like a market, full of people trying to live in Australia! Even the Immigration employees were all foreigners. We have no water, no jobs, factories closing and they are sourcing our system of social security and public housing. We already have our own homeless in the city. We don't need more people. Why are these people here if we have no jobs? Create jobs? How can we be assured of our country's security?
