Major population growth is advocated by many on both the left and the right, by those seeking to dilute Australia's traditional culture, and by the housing industry and big business. For many years it has been politically incorrect to push the environmental argument against population increase, even within some leading Green organisations.
Here O'Connor puts forward the scientific argument "Do we really have boundless plains to share?" and also dissects the political and cultural reasons which have so often been suppressed in public debate.
This is a considerably altered and expanded new version of O'Connor's previous book 'This Tire Brown Land'.
