OK so there is over a billion people living in India alone. But there's a lot more water over there (very poor taste joke I know).

Actually I agree that our population needs to be far higher if we are going to continue to be competitive in any international market. With the EU growing larger each month and the US looking for more and more allies (or at least own more countries) then there's China.... It is pretty obvious we need to grow.

But how can we sustain that sort of growth in the habitable areas of our country?

Water restrictions level 20 perhaps.

This definitely deserves a good debate. C'mon Mr Rudd and Little Johnny enough time spent having lappies or brown nosing the yanks. What can ya do for the country?
