Did you know that at the end of 1994 the labor government published a report entitled, Australia's Population "Carrying Capacity", One Nation, Two Ecologies". This report was the end result of an enquiry that elicited five volumes of submissions from the Australian public, of which over 90% wanted to stabilise Australia's population or to reduce it.
