Dear SPA supporters

In this issue of the SPA newsletter you will find:

• This newsletter notes the milestone of Australia reaching 27 million people after a year of record population growth, at the same time as China’s population falls.
• There are three Opinion pieces from SPA executive members, Jane O’Sullivan and/or Stephen Saunders, on what is a sustainable level of immigration, a review of Alan Kohler’s Quarterly Essay, and on immigration ‘expert’ Abul Rizvi.
• Then there is a comprehensive Campaign Update, an interview with Florence Blondel from our sister organisation Population Matters.
• An interview with our soon-to-be national president Peter Strachan.
• A branch news with notice of our AGM in Adelaide on 20 April and a public meeting that will feature Macrobusiness’ s Leith van Onselen.
• A piece on environmental refugees.
• Finally an article on couples concerned about climate change having fewer or no children.

Happy reading!
