Apparently, the third most common cause of death (in the USA, at least) is by medical error!
After heart disease and cancer, doctors are the most lethal thing in First World countries! :oops2:

Reduce immigration to immediate family reunion where strong grounds exist.
Create economic and cultural factors towards two children per family.
I dont think it should be about how many australia can carry, but about how many is the rational amount, taking into account climate change, species depletion, bushland destruction, resource depletion, pollution, etc.
All this from a country that hasnt built a new dam in something like 30 plus years . Millions upon millions of litres of water goes down the drain during our wet season up here year after year. Our main dam has overflowed the last 6 yrs in a row. I cant understand why when built the railway line from SA to Darwin they didn't put a underground water pipe alongside it whilst they had all the workers and machinery already there. could have TEE'd it at Tennent creek and ran it to Mt Isa and beyond.
Its the typical shortsightedness of consecutive governments and it wont change in the near future. We could solve most of our issue's but no one has the foresight to start investing in the infrastucture to link the whole country , not just the big eastern states.
Just my 2c

Desalination plants will solve all our issues....
Well I'm sure as **** not going Vegan while my arse points to the ground and most of the population is the same, so it will either kill us or we'll have to find a solution. I find the propaganda from these people unpalatable at best too. While some of their claims may be close, they also sprout all sorts of BS about how little of the meat is used and how wasteful the industry is and how cruel it is, etc. There isn't anything left but the moo by the time they are processed and for those that say 'Would you still eat cows if you went to an Abattoir?' - answer is I have and I still do.
I won't continue, we probably need a whole new thread on Vegans and how they are ****ing the world too. They're the first ones I'd ban from breeding...
Nuclear of course... [biggrin]
Desal plants and Nuclear power stations have to be built near 2 things so they are a perfect match to be built next to each other - a water supply and a halfway decent part of the grid (which the Vic one isn't really, but not hard to get a decent Terminal station to it) Problem solved. Would I have one in my backyard? Yep, sure would. Be an easy commute to work then...
Following that logic, where stop population growth is the key to sufficient water supply, not to build more dams etc..
Then for the survival of mankind, we should get rid of ppl over 65 as in, they no longer produce or reproduce.
