You know what's a huge driver for environmental damage and climate change? Overpopulation of the planet.

But I haven't seen anyone address that huge elephant in the room?

I reckon if we stop pulling in 500,000+ migrants into Australia every year we'll reduce our environmental impact as a country by having sustainable population growth.
A few facts on that net migration figure:

Temporary visa holders were the largest contributors to arrivals in 2022-23.
Of the temporary visa holders, the largest group was international students (283,000).
Other temporary visa holders include working holiday makers (70,000) and temporary skilled (49,000).
