Veteran Australian businessman Dick Smith has issued an urgent warning that Australia is “doomed” without a population plan to manage surging immigration, accusing political parties of bowing to billionaire interests while ignoring public concern.
His comments follow a Resolve poll showing nearly half of Australians believe permanent migration levels are too high and most think the issue is being handled poorly.
Smith told 2GB radio host Clinton Maynard that the current annual intake of 185,000 migrants will push the nation past 100 million people by the end of the century, straining infrastructure and living standards.
While stressing he “supports immigration”, Smith says the intake should be cut by more than half to 70,000 a year to keep the population at around 30 million, insisting that sustainable growth must be based on efficiency and productivity rather than unchecked population increases.
Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Smith said, “Basically, we’re doomed; we’re going to increase our population to staggering numbers,’ he told Daily Mail Australia.
“Jammed into high-rise like China, many very poor and who just live pay packet to pay packet and have no savings at all.
“Mainly capital cities, basically, will be like Shanghai.
“The beautiful houses with a block of land for the kids to play in the front yard and have a cubby house, that will go forever.
“Every house will be knocked down and replaced with high rises.”

“poll showing nearly half of Australians believe permanent migration levels are too high…”
Well, hopfully Aussies switches on their brains before the next election.

Not a question of brains. It’s a matter of selective immigration with requirements to vote for the party that graciously allowed them into the country. Labor officials direct them to electorates where the LNP or enlightened parties have majorities. Easy to see why the previous LNP cannot win future elections. Meanwhile the country goes broke trying to meet Net Zero to appease the communists, the globalists and now the millions of Islamic refugees flooding western Europe. The present government having got rich on the back of private enterprise now want to destroy the country by importing dependents and non workers that will never assimilate.
Yep another useless globalist Australian government, always in damage control mode, always caving to corporate interests.Never those of the average Aussies and yet people still vote for them.

Meanwhile lile ole NZ has its growing pains
Now there’s a wise man.
Listen up you U.N/ WEF globalist puppets.
There’s only so much to go around.
The more coming in divides the available resources. The safety nets citizens have paid taxes for get used up on non-taxpayers.😕
Kiwi’s culture will be extinct by 2075. Birth 58K rate under 1.7. Emmigration 121K increasing. Immigration 154K,. All cause death 38K and increasing (now nore than the Covid years). Median population age now 38.
The governments in the West run a riot against their own populations. Place them in debts, engineer sinfull life style, abortions, destroy family values etc. No wonder the West has a declining population due to lack of adequate births.
