        @BernardKeane And we're one least densely populated nations on Earth. But let's not let facts stand in the way of fear mongering.

        @BernardKeane OECD average population growth is around 0.7% pa. Even after slowing from over 2% pa, Australia is twice OECD average growth!

        @BernardKeane At 1.5% we double every 50 yrs. So almost 100m in 100yrs. But we aren't allowed to discuss that & whether there is a limit

        @BernardKeane Shame on Bernard Keane for that innumeracy. Australia's rate of population growth is 3rd-World, more than Indonesia's. #auspol

        @BernardKeane Showing growth rate is deceptive, would be clearer and more informative to depict actual population numbers.

        @BernardKeane Encouraging population growth is irresponsible in an overpopulated world. Australia can still take those in dire need. #Auspol
