    Arguably the ideal population of the continent is impossible to gauge. Utopian ideal vs utopian ideal. But there are many factors that would improve the health of the environment that sustains us all.

    Eating native animals more suited to the environment is a no brainer for meat eaters.

    Without meat, production of protein vegetables such as legumes would need to sky rocket.

    Less land clearing across the board is better for the environment.

    Monocultures of any kind, whether meat or vegetable are problematic on land not suited.

    the ideal population for our continent HAS been gauged.

    we are way over our recommended limit already.

    The ideal population depends of how we behave. Currently, we are one of the most wasteful and destructive societies on earth. If we changed our ways and learned to tread lightly, we could support many more people.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Got it. I must be slowing down in my old age. I appreciate a sense of humour, good one.

    Exactly, hence impossible to guage.

    It’s not about selecting the right number of people for some kind of exclusive paradise island and putting a fence up, it’s about being smarter and more compassionate, better appreciating, conserving, sharing and welcoming the world.

    Brexit is already imploding.

    It's all about perspective. This really should be the first thing we do before making an argument.

    If you look at it from a personal perspective and you happened to live in high density populated area, then you will probable say stuff that we have enough already. No more

    If personal perspective and live in rural area, you will want more immigrants. More cheap labour to pick the Fruits etc....

    Unless you are on welfare then maybe you will blame the immigrants for lack of handouts.

    If you retired, no mortgage and not on pension, then you will want fewer people. (Who wouldn't?

    If retired but on pension, you will want more immigrants to pay that pension money. If you are smart.....

    If you the boss and want to hire, more immigrants please

    If you the worker and well nobody likes competition, then nono we had enough already. I was getting $40 /hr now only $20

    If you look at it from a social perspective, then you will probably realize Australia can get highly educated young immigrants of reproductive age for free (almost free). These immigrants got trained and educated (got invested as in human capital) elsewhere, and just when they have become the most productive member of their society, they come here and contribute. You gonna say we are lucky. Not many nations on this planet can do that. Cheryy picking the best.and thus in the end the entire society benefits

    If you focus on the refugees, Muslim terrorist, well.........I don't know what to say

    So what is the context of your statement?

    To be honest, personally I will want to reduce the immigrants influx now this year ,2018 so that property market will crash. Because I sold all of mine last year. And will buy them back at low point

    They are just your perspectives.

    I could counter argue every one of them.
