Dear ,

The federal government is proposing a record immigration program, but there has been no public debate on it. Polls show that the majority of the electorate is uneasy with high immigration, but both major political parties have run substantial immigration programs for decades, and business applauds.

So we are taking matters into our own hands and facilitating a discussion about Australia's population levels. What should they be?

This event will be a lunch at the Brisbane Club on February 2, 2023, with Don O'Rorke and Dr Jane O'Sullivan. To book, click here.

Don O'Rorke is a 40 year veteran of Queensland property development ranging from Cooktown down to near-Coolangatta Casuarina Beach, and a lot in between. He is currently developing the $850 billion Yerongpilly Green. Known for his innovative and thoughtful approach to development he is the perfect advocate for a bigger Australia.

Dr Jane O'Sullivan is a multi-disciplinary researcher in population at the University of Queensland, and a co-convenor of The Overpopulation Project. She has done extensive work in developing countries and her research covers the environmental, social, micro- and macro-economic impacts of population growth, and the efficacy of policy and program options addressing it. 

This will be a moderated discussion. The aim is to foster better understanding of the issues.

Details of the function are:

Date: Thursday, February 2, 2023, 12:00 for 12:30 pm (ends 2:30 pm)
