Re: Population limit?
There has to be a point when a finite sized country can't take anymore.
I live in London and the infrastructure is struggling to cope. Roads are too crowded, trains are too crowded , water shortage, a shortage of housing etc etc.

This is one the major factors as to why we are moving - S P A C E !!
Of course the majority of the Australian landmass is not actual habitable but even still its getting pretty bad, especially if you consider the other countries populations. Check out this for a league table around the world...

Re: Population limit?
Which raises the question of why a person born in England is often not regarded as an Englishman/woman - if they are born to immigrant parents?? Paradoxically, the first settlers of Australia are quite often not thought of as Australians or at least equals by many . It's a funny and confusing thing 'white fella prejudice'.

Re: Population limit?
Is all immigration bad?
Most of these people are from Eastern Europe, mainly Poland & are hardly 3rd world scroungers
Most are working & paying tax & not a burden on the state
Most are in the major cities, mainly London & I think we underestimate the ability of these places to cope
Most work harder than the average Brit
There are now plenty more fit women in the UK
