Why the refrain?

Why is it in these worrying times when we keep seeing articles in our media about all the problems we face in the world today; that no one will mention the real root of all our problems?

Over population

The underlying principle problem of all our issues is due to the fact that there are too many humans in the world. Every living creature in the planet is suffering because of our population numbers.

And why are there so many humans?

Before the discovery of oil the world's human population was less than 2 billion. This population number was perhaps sustainable, and had been at that level for quite some time.

Now, with the many, many benefits of oil and its various by-products, the world’s population has grown.

Try and imagine a world without oil?

No trucks, buses or cars. No ships powered by oil. No jet aircraft.

No tractors, no fertilizers.

No chemicals, no plastics.

Mining would be greatly reduced.

The world’s current population could simply not exist without the enhance food generation that oil has enabled.

Imagine how the great world wars would have been without the availability of oil?  No tanks, no planes, no transport, etc.

The discovery of one single component has changed the world entirely.

Our modern suburbs have been designed around the fact that we all have motor cars. What happened to the local corner store?

When I was a boy, living in Melbourne, there was a milk bar within walking distance, selling milk and bread. Now, we must drive kilometres to the nearest shopping centre.

And these shopping centres; has anyone noticed how insulated these centres make us all feel. We walk around in air-conditioned comfort with piped music, an environment which is designed to make us feel good, to encourage us to spend.

In nature, most animals will refrain from breeding if conditions are unsuitable to sustain their population.

And here we are today, living in a world of vast amounts of credit; where it is estimated that we have consumed more than what our planet Earth can support. We borrow vast amounts of money to enable some of us to live beyond our means.  Various countries are printing money like it was confetti.

Our own Prime Minister has no regard for restraint when it comes to spending other people’s money. Australia’s deficit now stands at $15 billion.

Why can't the world talk about reducing the population?

If man can fly to the moon; why can’t he control his numbers?

Life should be about quality, not quantity.

Women around the world need to be informed, to have the choice. Studies have shown that educated women will have fewer children than their sisters who never have the chance to gain an education.

This subject needs to be in the media every day, before it’s too late.

Our newly re-elected Prime Minister has been quoted saying he sees an Australia with a population of over 40 million.

Imagine the chaos?

The Greens immigration policy is basically an open border policy with little or no limit. They seem to believe that Australia has vast open plains just waiting for development and habitation. Have any of these people ever ventured inland, and seen just how arid and desolate inland Australia is?

Why should we allow New Zealanders an open ticket to come as they please?

Stop all forms of Baby Bonus and child endowment.

 Alter the tax rate so that couples who have more than two children pay a higher tax rate.

Refugees with genuine needs and documentation should be considered.

If this image concerns you, why not look to an alternative political party such as the Stable Population party.

There is a choice.
