Australia population = 21,007,310 (July 2008 est.)
Indonesia population = 237,512,352 (July 2008 est.)
China population = 1,330,044,544 (July 2008 est.)
Australia population growth = 1.221% (2008 Est.)
Indonesia population growth = 1.175% (2008 Est.)
China population growth = 0.629% (2008 Est.)
From the percentage of population growth you may see that Australia has the highest percentage of population growth. However, if you really multiply the percentage with the current population for each country, you will see that:
Population increase per year for Australia: 256,499 people
Population increase per year for Indonesia: 2,790,770 people
Population increase per year for China: 8,365,980 people
You will see that the population of Australia will never exceed population of Indonesia because the increase is less than 10 times. China may have the humble population growth of 0.629%, but neither Australia nor Indonesia still are able to catch up with the population growth of China.
Australia's population increase is caused not by its population's child birth, but because of immigration. It all depends on the Australia's reputation to increase its population. However, if you really think about it, how on earth Australia was able to limit its population by child birth? The reason for limited child birth is that, life in Australia is extremely hard. You can hardly have more than 3 or 4 children, and most of the time is probably one or two, because it is very hard life to live in Australia. There are no servants, no drivers and no handyman. Australia really sucks your entire life. Old people are very common to live alone by themselves at home everyday because everyone in the family is somewhere else. Food is expensive, labor is expensive, tax is expensive and you are left with not much to raise your children. You may get government support but it is not much. As you can see even from the statistics, if most population growth per year is 256,499 people, how much child birth would be per year? Forget about the validity of the following one, because I just want to show you how I despise sexually arousing materials shown everywhere. It may be Western interest but as an Asian I really appreciate my privacy. I tend to think that Australia prefers to increase its population by child birth also by importing sexually arousing materials (which I am not really fond of, especially it lower people standards like animal, and I really appreciate Indonesia's strict censorship), but as you can see, it didn't get very far.
Another thing to note, is that, I doubt that Australia will be able to really control its people because of its very complex system of tampering with people's lifes. As you see that many people need extra care to receive government support for example for low income earners, and also to really charge heavy tax from high income earners and this will require a lot of government effort per human head, and also the very complex tax system. And as the population grows, it will require more people to handle the population. I wonder if the system really worth it. I can feel that the system in Australia is a mess and I don't have the great confident about it.
In Australia, everyone is the same. The lazy one gets a higher standard of life, the average ones get also the same standard and the brilliant one gets about the same. Australia give money to the poor and takes a lot from the rich. But if you know you are going to get rich, or, if for example you have confidence that your child or any of your descendants further down are going to get really rich, would you really stay in Australia? And of course to slave away at any time you are in Australia.
I am still considering to go back to Australia but everytime I think about it, the only way would be to stay in Indonesia and I always get the same answer. It is a matter of my health, happiness and my income also. Which Australia would not be able to provide for me.
