Green Party Says Cut Immigration
Australia's Green Party says immigration levels should be reduced. "Greens leader Bob Brown said most people did not support the federal government's plan to boost population from 22 to 36 million by 2050," the Sydney Morning Herald reported. "[Brown] said Australians should live sustainably but a big population increase would threaten the nation's ability to do that. The government on Monday released its third intergenerational report, which includes the 36 million population forecast." Unfortunately, American political parties are not willing to be as forthright about the population impact of immigration on resources and the environment.
