Why a Big Australia is a Bad Idea

I’m watching a documentary by Dick Smith about Australia’s population growth. I really don’t know why this is the first (that I’m aware of) documentary on the subject. Especially since most of the points being brought up seem to be common sense.
I hope that it wakens enough people, and make the pollies decide (or realize) that a big population is a seriously bad idea … and not because of racial reasons.
But because Australia just can’t support it!
I mean, it’s common sense.
Australia is, in fact, a big, open, unpopulated country. And this is the basis for a Big Australia policy/belief; “there’s plenty of room for more people.”
Well, there may be room for more people. But people who say this annoy me, because they’ve clearly never been out of the city and don’t know anything about the country.
There is a reason why all of Australia’s major cities all cling to the coastline (Alice Springs doesn’t count as a major city). It’s because most of the interior of Australia is a fucking desert!
A desert!
Yeah, that's right a desert.
That means that there’s going be a limited amount of important things like water.
Space really has nothing to do with it.
It’s all about water.
There’s only a limited amount of water … and we’re already on water restrictions. And we’re in the middle of a drought.
Less water coming in, and more people coming in spells bad news to the population.
It really doesn’t matter how much space a country has if there’s no water. No water means no population. And yet, people really seem to struggle with this. They just can’t comprehend this.
Instead they resort to the age old accusations of racism when faced with this simple fact;
“Oh. You don’t want more immigrants in Australia? You’re clearly racist, and a horrible person because of that. No one should listen to you, because you’re wrong, because you’re racist!”
Well, I’m sorry if I want to continue to have clean drinking water and being able to take regular showers! Not to mention the fact that there’ll no longer be enough food if the population keeps increasing like it is.
