Some general issues concerning current and future population trends in Australia are considered. The author argues against the need for continued high levels of population growth. She concludes that "the least disruptive path to eventual equilibrium is to maintain fertility near replacement level and to reduce the migrant intake to about one-third of the current level, i.e. to a net intake of about 50,000 per year."
