Early this morning Australia's population hit a milestone - 24 million. While a newborn is likely to be the 24 millionth Australian, migrants have contributed the most to that growth in recent years. So is the faster-than-expected population growth good for the economy?


Bob Carr说,澳洲的人口是"第三世界方式"的增长,他呼吁考虑减少移民人口,人口增长至少要减少三分之一,有可能的话必须减少50%。

 

他还指出,不切实际的人口增长给住房增加了压力,造成了城市交通拥堵,目前的人口是澳洲的环境和经济都难以承受的。这种人口增长是建筑在有缺陷的经济模式之上。

 

Bob carr 还说,澳洲需要的不是来自海外的而是国内的人口增长模式。

 

你觉得澳洲人口是应该驳斥增长,还是如Bob Carr建议,减少30%以上的移民人口?
