stop immigration .... tim flannery

was looking at the "ascent of money" last night and it appears that one of the biggest problems we face is overpopulation

starvation will result and people will start looking for greener pastures

for us in australia it will mean people arriving by boat

this morning tim flannery was on AM this morning saying that we need to do more research into what is a sustainable population for australia.

he suspects that we have reached sustainable levels already
I will put up the interview later.

pro immigration people say we need people if we are to get economic growth
they also say we need more people to support are aging population

at the moment we are allowing 70,000 via the skilled migration program, 50,000 via familly reunion and 14,000 via the refugee program

we owe our children the right to the sort of life we had
we have to preserve our way of life

we don't want our children having to compete for scarce resources with qjumpers

already our children are suffering through unaffordable housing

stop boat people now and scale back our immigration programs fast

forget the ets, just stop the population from growing
