Position Statement on Population
“We take the position that there is a fundamental conflict between population growth and environmental protection, a sustainable economy, and the health and well-being of our people.
While SPA rejects wasteful over-consumption, we do believe that all Australians deserve at least a modestly comfortable lifestyle. But this comes with an ecological price-tag which limits the numbers we can sustainably support without degrading our resources and ecosystems. Australia has now exceeded those numbers.
In the best interests of our land and people, the SPA position calls for a stabilised Australian population, maintained safely within ecological limits.”
Further:
– SPA strongly and unequivocally denounces racism. Our population position is purely about numbers and lifestyles, and how they combine to impact our long-term ecological responsibilities.
-SPA recognises the unacceptable pressure mass immigration (excessive population growth) is placing on Australia’s housing stock, wage growth, cost of living, health and education systems, roads and general infrastructure… and we acknowledge the many hardships this is causing.
