@ki_sekiya You’ve hit the nail on the head. It’s the fundamental issue facing a whole generation. How can you plan for a future family when a huge chunk of your income is swallowed by rent or a massive mortgage? We have the space, but the system isn't working for everyday people.

Australia can't sustain endless population growth. In 39 years, our population is projected to hit 40.5 million, adding the equivalent of another Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Regional councils already struggle with revenue to support this. We can't afford the "Big Australia" our leaders envision. #PopulationGrowth #BigAustralia #BetterNotBigger #auspol

Australia cannot afford endless population growth

The 2023 Intergenerational Report (IGR) projects that Australia’s population will balloon by 13.5 million people over the next 39 years to 40.5 million: If this projection came to fruition, Australia would add the equivalent of another Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane worth of population in only 39 years. The IGR’s bullish population projection is based on

Norway’s Sovereign Wealth Fund is now valued at almost $340,000 per person, showcasing a robust strategy to support its ageing population.

If Australian policymakers properly taxed our resources, we wouldn't need to worry about federal budget debt. We wouldn't have to rely on #massimmigration to fill budget gaps, passing costs to states and residents.

#Australia needs a smart, sustainable approach—not a #Ponzischeme masked by record population growth.

Unfortunately, the Albanese Government has embraced a “ #BigAustralia ” model, launching one of the world’s largest immigration programs. As a result, Australians will face a crowded, high-rise future in a deteriorating environment.

The Australian way of life faces extinction

When Australia’s population was 19.3 million people in 2001, Treasurer Peter Costello issued the first Intergenerational Report (IGR). The 2001 IGR projected that Australia’s population would be 25.7 million in 2050, with yearly net overseas migration (NOM) projected to be 90,000. The following year, in 2002, a Senate Inquiry convened by the Howard Government on

Six homeless people die every day on the streets of Los Angeles. Without cops enforcing private property rights we could solve this problem practically tomorrow. These people are killed by police just as surely as the people they gun down. This is in addition to the millions whose lives are shortened and immiserated by being forced to sell their labor to survive. These people are also killed by police. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/22/los-angeles-unhoused-deaths-increase-housing-crisis-fentanyl-overdoses
