overpopulation

Today Australian Federal Parliament voted down Independent Senator David Pocock's motion to establish a Select Committee on Population Impacts to inquire into the effect of population growth and management in Australia. Pocock has a background in sustainable agriculture and sport.  Consider lobbying your member of Federal Parliament to help him move the motion again.

I wrote to Sydney Water in 2021 on this [predictable] looming vital shortage, but received no response at all from Sydney Water, despite their promotion of themselves as concerned about sustainable water use and costs. The letter is published below.  The response was nil; complete disinterest.  Read into that what you will.

"Down Under Reform" on Facebook has issued a challenge.

There is another protest in Sydney for Zero Immigration Until Housing Affordability is Restored on Saturday 12 July at Sydney Town Hall - see Facebook event. 

All Australian mainstream media outlets push the idea that we must have rapid population growth in Australia and that this must be sourced by increasing rates of immigration. Whilst the mass media never shuts up about this, they are very repressive about any contrary opinion, although people are really angry about the increasingly obvious costs in all this, and they seek ways to express themselves.

Part of the Australian Peacock Spider Genus, the very recently discovered Maratus Yanchep spider, may soon be extinguished by human expansion for profit, in a Peet's West Australian hous

Non è solo in Victoria, o nel NSW, o in Australia Meridionale, o in Australia Occidentale, o nel Territorio del Nord. I Centri di Attività e la densificazione vengono spinti in ogni parte dell'Australia. E la decentralizzazione non è la risposta; anche le città di campagna sono costrette ad accogliere nuovi insediamenti densi. E non siamo solo noi umani a essere colpiti.

It is not just in Victoria, or NSW, or South Australia, or West Australia, or the Northern Territory. Activity Centres and densification are being pushed in every part of Australia.  And decentralisation is not the answer either; country towns are being forced to accommodate dense new settlements too. And it's not just we humans who are impacted.  Dogs are flooding animal shelters because their owners can no longer afford space or food to keep them.  Horses cannot find paddocks.

Victoria, Australia: The DESIST FROM HIGH-RISE HIGH-DENSITY ZONE PLANNING petition is to be debated for 30 minutes in the Legislative Council on Wednesday 5 March.

Paul Edbrook, State Labor MP for Frankston, has repeatedly failed to respond usefully to complaints from constituents regarding the forced accommodation of a Metropolitan Activity Centre under the increasingly authoritarian regime of Premier Jacinta Allan's Victorian Government. Inside this article, we have published two complaint letters, along with the negligent and empty responses from Mr. Edbrook or his staff, despite the great importance of the matter.

Exercising his independence since leaving the Liberal Party,  Senator Rennick, (People First Party) lambasted the Libs and Labs as 'not serious' about pressing problems like the high cost of living, housing challenges, energy issues, and excessive immigration, but only 'serious about getting more power.' He criticised new censorship legislation, calling for less intrusion into people's personal lives and freedoms.

For the past few days, ABC Melbourne has been creating a talkback fest to make-believe the electorate is looking happily forward to having this city blown up and out beyond recognition and beyond their control.  I've received a plethora of emails and phone calls indicating the exact opposite.

Never thought I'd agree with BlackRock CEO, but he is right about this. Unfortunately for Australia, our government invites BlackRock to fund debt on massive housing projects for mass immigration, in order to combat our democratic population trends, which are a reflection of dwindling quality of life in overpopulated Australia.  BlackRock also grabs land under cover of war in Ukraine.  So, the BlackRock CEO may say sensible things, but what BlackRock does is another thing.

Don Owers humorously points out the not-so-funny posturing in the Climate Council's loud criticism of Sky News and News Corp regarding disinformation on climate change, in the face of its own strange silence - dare we say collusion? - about the principal drivers of carbon emission growth in Australia, namely government and lobby-group-engineered population and intensive development growth.

The four former colleagues gathered at a suburban Italian restaurant for one of their regular "catch ups.” But were they really catching up?  They had not worked together for about fifteen years but, possibly through habit or email mailing list accident, had still kept in touch.  Only one still worked in the same clinical profession that had brought them together. 

Short simple video gives a good overview.

The new Counting Backwards song, Ballad of Yakamia is now out.  Yakamia contains the last patch of uncleared bushland in North Albany (Yakamia Forest), West Australia, which is under threat from housing development and road construction. The Council chambers are also located in Yakamia and it is there where decisions about the forest are made.

"The Victorian government is preparing Plan for Victoria – a strategic framework for the whole state – while it simultaneously rolls out the most radical program of planning system reforms in thirty years. This report summarises the publicly available information on both, adds analysis and commentary, and offers constructive feedback in the form of positive propositions.

Mornington Peninsula at Arthurs Seat (Wonga) is under threat -  we must say NO to a proposed EXCESSIVE EXPANSION.

Developers are proposing a $25+ million expansion in a STATE PARK, which includes:

A roller coaster like luge up and down the hill, altering the natural landscape
An intrusive bridge over Arthurs Seat Road at the summit
An eight-story viewing platform
A second restaurant at the top station
A major redevelopment of the lower station

What moral right does CHIA, a large, well-auspiced professional organisation, have in fueling animosity against local government candidates who defend their communities' planning powers and their right to veto subdivisions - key pillars of self-determination?

Without a mature discussion on population growth, the housing crisis will extend for years to come, according to Sustainable Population Australia (SPA). SPA National president Peter Strachan says there is deep denial within the government that population is the main factor driving housing demand.
