Former editor of the Canberra Times, Crispin Hull, delivered a brilliant speech over the weekend to a Sustainable Population Australia event in Brisbane, which explained why a Big Australia “spells worsening lives for most Australians… and a lot of other adverse consequences”, and why all sides of politics are beholden to mass immigration:
Nearly everyone at this Sustainable Population Australia* event is most likely utterly perplexed as to why far more people are not seeing the obvious: that Australia’s population trajectory spells worsening lives for most Australians; extinction for many of our species; a falling capacity to help feed the world’s people; and a lot of other adverse consequences.
Having worked in and observed the Australian media for more than 40 years I might be able to shed some insight as to why.
