[QUOTE="anunbeliever, post: 14568361, member: 83943"] Doesnt make sense to me. Australias population is about 20 million. Each year we have about 125,000 births and take in 125,000 refugees/immigrants. Our cities (the few that we have) are getting overcrowded. Even though we have a land area comparable to the U.S, most of it is desert. That being said, we could have many more cities than we currently have. I live in Perth, Western Australia (WA). Perth's population is about 1.5 million. The next biggest WA town has a population of 200,000. Total state population is about 2.5 million. WA is larger than Texas, with thousands of miles of coastline. A combination of incompetent government, environmental lobbying, and lack of money is preventing more cities from being established. Australia doesnt NEED more people as such. The world is overpopulated as it is. Our population is aging due to a low birth rate. I think industry and government are worried about the aging population and its impact. But like others have said, you cant keep growing indefinitely. [/QUOTE]
