Loving the migration series, but I’m concerned by reader comments that Australia is "at capacity" or similar. The notion that Australia is environmentally overpopulated, when our cities are littered with suburban sprawl and our public transport networks can't get enough capacity to run more than half-hourly services (often hourly) from many places to the middle of the city (let alone between neighbouring suburbs) forcing most people to rely on cars, is baffling to me. We don't have a population problem, we have a per capita space/resource consumption problem. We need to bunch up, reduce our footprints, and welcome the critical mass of people that will make better public services more viable to deliver.

Personally, as someone who has always voted Green, I’m actually at a loss as to who to vote for at the next election. I can only vote to keep the right wing out, which is really sad that no one on the middle to the left has the guts to really stand up for something. It seems that there’s a politics of fear that if we stand up too much we’ll get attacked. We are at such a critical turning point and the nonsense being talked about in political spheres just leaves me and many of my colleagues shaking our heads in wonderment.
