Great news!
The Joint Standing Committee on Migration has formally accepted our submission !!
"This submission argues that Australia’s needs would be better served by a much smaller and better targeted immigration program..."
(Link to full report available soon)
Australia's destructive population growth is largely a function of high immigration levels.
If immigration was net zero, our population would soon level off,
... & we could begin enjoying the many benefits of stability.

The #HousingCrisis is a tragedy of unimaginable horror for so many Australians.
The greater tragedy is that it's so easily fixed-
just stop bringing in more people until everyone here is housed.
If Australia is supposedly a #democracy-
Why on earth are we being shut out of immigration level policies.
Why are the pollies colluding on mass immigration?
Why is this rapid population growth
just being rammed down our throats... whether we like it or not!?
Like #sustainability #economists at CASSE (steadystate.org/steady-state/) research for a #sustainable future
My Substack post addresses solution by noting most common market reports miss the #economic drivers effecting #economy growth

These insectometers have the worst job in the world. They document the decline of what they love, I had a similar job in the past. Ask me why I quit a few years back...

Human populations are exploding. We've added 800M new humans since Paris 2015. 10% more humans in 10 years. Children now.
We lose min 6% of insect biomass in protected nature reserves. 50% of global biomass loss in 10 years. The stuff on the right disappears faster than our populations & GDPs grow.
Nature has not evolved brains that can process such rapid changes since what we see since 1970 is unique and unchartered. Not in 600 (not 60) million years has anything come close to the speed of change. Human children now grow up slower than nature collapses globally.
More people, more cars, more freeways, more asphalt & concrete, more emissions
... less #wildlife.
I'll be speaking on 'Human population and its effect on quality of life, equality, extinctions, and climate change'

“Doomer” is just an ad hominem label for someone who understands our multi-faceted predicament can’t be solved by “green capitalism”, & in fact that will make it worse. For instance mining for critical minerals (diesel) will need to increase 16x and that will inevitably destroy more of the biosphere
As society becomes increasingly stupefied its members becomes cleverer at doing stupid things. We are now very very clever at doing very very stupid things. In our foolishness, we call the increase in cleverness at doing very stupid things, PROGRESS
OUR PRESS RELEASE:
Australian Treasury’s “accidental” release on housing supply is an admission of mass immigration/the Big Australia (population) agenda's gross failures:
#HousingCrisis #population #immigration

Perhaps our biggest error of judgement was misjudging our own capacity to solve our existential problems: despite our own dire projections, we created an ever more complicated jungle of a civilisation that is finally beginning to eat itself alive.
Any civilisation that fails to limit its growth ultimately becomes the latest in a long history of casualties who saw the limits, and still chose to speed into the wall
#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,
"Say NO to a Big Australia!"

On the world's driest inhabited continent,
#water use efficiency should be a priority
However if we continue to grow our population at this rate, every gain is quickly overwhelmed.
Whereas in a stable population scenario, every efficiency gain- is actually a gain!

This year nearly 1/2 a million more people will arrive in #Australia than leave.
This is what half a million looks like-

The #overpopulation warnings are sounding -

“In its 2025 Annual Water Outlook, Melbourne Water stated that, on average, inflows into Melbourne's water storages were "not enough to supply our city's growing population".
Money talks!
But, heh, Aussies are getting what they voted for- mass immigration!
www.macrobusiness.com.au/2025/07/so-m...
"If current MIGRATION trends continue, NET Permanent and Long-term arrivals from January this year could reach 598,000 by December 2025!"
Note: Departures have already been subtracted. In 2024,this number was Net 440,080. So much for halving Net migration

Hear more on why we should lower #immigration & seek to stabilise our #population,
from Sustainable Population Australia (SPA) president Peter Strachan

Nice to hear a point of view beyond the property/university sector,
ie a non-vested interest point of view
An article by our friend and advisor Eileen Crist.
In order to justify the annihilation of animals and nature, we make ourselves into gods and them into nothing.

Starting at about 1:10 in, ED of @popnbalance.bsky.social Nandita Bajaj speaks to the roots of #pronatalism 5000 years ago and since. Yes, it has been with us for that long. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBdJ... To dive into pronatalism and more, see my book, #TheBabyMatrix amzn.to/4nKeGm1
When your economy over-relies on an #immigration fed housing construction industry, the population must keep growing at a faster rate.
Why? because you not only need jobs for the last intake, but you must create jobs for the new arrivals.
This ends in disaster!

#Australia has become a #population ponzi economy.
... and we all know how ponzi schemes end!
“Australian governments have completely shattered the social contract.
They’ve created one of the worst national housing crises anywhere in the entire world due to explosive rates of migration.”
www.macrobusiness.com.au/2025/07/more...
Lots of good stuff here,
... but still #overpopulation remains a taboo topic.
To talk smaller impacts while ignoring population size is naive.
