Commenting on “Plea to control Aussie growth”

What a load of idiotic mumbo jumbo about unsustainable growth! Do we use up the natural resources? No, the natural resources are dug up and export to overseas for cash to line the billionaire pockets, and government. Oops, the experts also get a share for their crystal gazing!
Instead of building dams to meet growing population, channel excessive water from the north to irrigate large areas of harsh arid land, cultivating crops where suitable climatic conditions prevail, many Australians including the politicians are too complacent, and refuse to change the way they do things.
Compounding the problem is that many scientists and economists come up with crappy doomsday predictive models scaring the hell out of everyone, with simple solution like reducing population growth.
I have written an article in respond to a news item saying that China's economy is about to overtake US in 2015. China was a poor miserable underdeveloped country 3 decades ago, but now she is supporting a population of 1.3 billion and yet can win the economic race - it is a modern day fairy tale! Australia has only 23 million people, but keeps whinging about the size of the population – this is just laughable!
