Here is an excerpt from a 60 min interview with our
Minister for Population, Mr Alan Tudge (
source).
Keep in mind that this bloke is paid to be a Minister.....of population!
Liam Bartlett: “How big do you want to see Australia”.
Alan Tudge: “I think Australia can grow. But it is the question on how we manage that growth”.
Liam Bartlett: “Yeah, but by how much?”
Alan Tudge: “That is the central question. It depends on the period of time you are looking as well”.
Liam Bartlett: “2051. Give me that figure?”
Alan Tudge: “So, it again depends on how well we can manage this growth, right”?
Liam Bartlett: “Yeah, but give me the figure”? Because the ABS said 25 million by 2051, but we hit that last year. So, give me that figure”.
Alan Tudge: “The ABS figure was based on looking at the past growth rate and projecting forward based on that growth rate”.
Liam Bartlett: “Yeah, and they got it wrong”.
Alan Tudge: “Depending on what our settings are will determine what ultimately our population will be in 2050. Undoubtedly we will be bigger”.
Its like we're stuck in an episode of hollowmen....this bloke has no clue in regard to the one thing he is responsible for.
Its plain that our Government have no plan whatsoever in regard to population. None. Whats more neither major party give a stuff about what we think, they are totally beholden to their lobbyist masters.
