Is development the same as progress ? What makes the difference ? Is growth sustainable ? Is there any such thing as "big enough" ?
What do we want to sustain ?
Are elected governments just dictatorships between elections ?
Planning is off the rails in Melbourne. What is happening in the country and on the coast ?

Tim:
I'd appreciate it if you'd stop lying about me.
I have never "lobbied for a massive population increase".
I have merely stated that there can be benefits to growth in population of sprawling cities where low density ensures all the drawbacks of sprawl development with none of the urban benefits. Such growth need not be from immigration - it can be from internal migration as well.
Stop linking me to your odious monologues. I'm getting sick of being your straw man. Find another or just grow up and use real arguments to support your misanthropic xenophobia.
