Genocide is Australia’s current Population Policy

“Under the prevailing policies of British-led globalisation, free trade, economic rationalism and privatisation of state-owned assets, and the deepening systemic breakdown of the global financial and monetary system, Australians are participating in the collapse of the world’s population from nearly 7 billion people to less than 2 billion—genocide on a global level,” Craig Isherwood, leader of the Citizens Electoral Council declared today.

“So, Australia has already adopted a clear population policy, by default—genocide. Let’s not kid ourselves: there is no other population policy possible until these policies for global genocide are dumped!

“These policies are simply the modern versions of the same old, but deadly British Empire’s opium and slave trading activities of the 18^th and 19^th centuries. Back then they were designed to specifically destroy the sovereignty of nation states through denying the physical economic development of basic economic infrastructure, and by treating human beings as commodities like cattle—literally tradable commodities.

“That is still the nature of the current policy, and Kevin Rudd’s manoeuvres to create a ‘Statistical Bean-Counters Ministry for Population’ with Tony Burke as its head, is an exercise in pragmatic sophistry. It is as useless as tits on a bull.” Mr Isherwood said.

The CEC National Secretary said a real population policy has to begin with Lyndon LaRouche’s Four Powers Agreement, to put the world’s financial and monetary system into immediate bankruptcy reorganisation, and a return to policies of national sovereignty with large nation-building physical economic infrastructure projects. He cited as an example U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt’s intention with the Bretton Woods agreements in 1944; that is: eliminate empires, use National Banking to create sovereign credit, and promote the development of perfectly sovereign nation states through very large scale infrastructure development like that of the Tennessee Valley Authority development.

“Australia is an empty and totally underdeveloped continent and under the prevailing free-trade policies, we have shut down our manufacturing, destroyed our family farmers, and concentrated what little infrastructure we have into the coastal cities. Mining is left to large foreign owned multinationals which pay as little as 3.75 per cent in ‘trinket’ royalties to steal our wealth,” Mr Isherwood said.

“Rural towns and communities are being ruthlessly denuded of people, with most moving to the cities, and the vast areas of northern Australia with its potential to support 100 million people is left empty.

“Australia, currently with a population of 22 million, has a population density of 2.9 people per square kilometre (/km²)—the third lowest in the world behind Mongolia and Namibia in West Africa! In our iconic suburbs of Eastern Sydney, like Manly and Bondi, their population density is 6,900 /km²—2,400 times greater than Australia’s average population density.

“Tasmania today, even with its vast wilderness areas, has a population density of 7.4 /km² (2½ times greater than Australia), which if emulated on the mainland would give Australia a population of 57 million people.

“Just think,” he urged, “With the planned development of regional Australia, using ideas such as Professor Lance Endersbee’s High Speed Australian Ring Rail, the development of many of our river systems, with nuclear power, we could quickly reach and overtake the population density of Tasmania.”

Mr Isherwood concluded, “What could be possible with real economic development and not looting?”
