But UK population growth actually stopped first.

Longer lives, later inheritance, weaker pensions, expensive housing — families didn’t opt out. They were priced out.

Who knew population shrinkage could be the ultimate life hack? 🙄👶✂️

@InsurgoFormica Who benefits from extreme population growth?
Not ordinary Australians. The property lobby and big business push for extreme population growth because it lines their pockets – higher demand means skyrocketing rents, unaffordable housing, and bigger profits for them. But at what cost?
Look at Canada: relentless population growth has fuelled homelessness and housing crises, making it clear that extreme growth and homelessness are deeply connected. Australia is following the same dangerous path.
Instead of prioritising sustainable growth and the well-being of Australians, these powerful groups prioritise their bottom line. We need policies that work for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

Housing crisis? The real issue is being ignored. Australia doesn’t have a housing shortage – it has a population oversupply. #HousingCrisis #PopulationGrowth #Auspol
