Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1996, the first independent national report on the state of Australias environment found that we faced serious problems. With increasing urgency, five subsequent reports declared those problems were all getting worse, each calling for immediate action to protect our future. The 2021 report determined that, Overall, the state and trend of the environment of Australia are poor and deteriorating as a result of increasing pressures from climate change, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and resource extraction, and warned of the dramatic impact on our health and living standards. It is now clearer than ever that the consequences of long-term inaction are upon us.Accelerating climate change and the loss of our unique biodiversity are the most obvious signs of the grim outlook for future generations of Australians. But the international trends are equally worrying, with quixotic economic systems casting doubt on the wisdom of running down our domestic production of essential goods and services in favour of a dependence on trade. It is no exaggeration to conclude that Australian society itself is at risk.In Australia on the Brink, Ian Lowe argues that the essential first steps in addressing these threats are stabilising the global climate and protecting our local biota. We must also change the emphasis of resource extraction from a damaging reliance on trade to improving our capacity to meet our own needs. This is our best perhaps our only chance of restoring a sense of social stability, and the equality of opportunity that was once a hallmark of this country.

A must-read,The Lucky Country?Reinventing Australiachallenges us all to consider the kind of future we want for our country and communities.Can we reinvent The Lucky Country?In 1964, Donald Horne described Australia as 'a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck' in his iconic book. Now, more than five decades later, internationally respected scientist and environmentalist Ian Lowe shows that little has changed after generations of short-sighted leadership.In his frank and fearless way, Lowe assesses the state of Australia in four key areas- our environment, population and society, geographical position, and unrelenting pursuit of economic growth. Highlighting that the global economy and the environment are in crisis, Lowe illustrates the need - and the opportunity - to transform Australia into the world-leading model of sustainable development that we have the potential to become.A must-read, The Lucky Country? Reinventing Australia challenges us all to consider the kind of future we want for our country and communities. Can we reinvent the Lucky Country? Fifty years ago author Donald Horne described Australia as "a lucky country run by second-rate people", adding that its leaders were mostly unaware of events that surround them. In this polemic work, Ian Lowe assesses the current state of Australia and whether it can retain its status of the Lucky Country.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A comprehensive and detailed analysis of the controversial debate about Australia's population numbers.When Kevin Rudd responded to a government forecast that the Australian population could reach 36 million by 2050 by saying he believed in 'a big Australia', there was a strong public reaction. One insider said that 'the focus groups went ballistic'. Julia Gillard renamed the relevant minister's portfolio 'sustainable population', implicitly criticising pro-growth policies of previous governments. Tony Abbott vowed to 'stop the boats' if elected (thus limiting immigration), despite generally supporting a population growth agenda and clearly having no way of stopping the boats. The Murdoch press attacked both major parties, accusing them of pandering to base prejudice by discussing the social impacts of immigration or suggesting that population growth had negative environmental impacts. It urged politicians to champion what it claimed were the self-evident economic benefits of rapid population growth. The issue is clearly a political hot potato.This book clarifies the subject, as the debate has been confused by serious misconceptions. It provides an historic account of Australia's population growth and an analysis of the data. It looks at the components of the growth, such as birth rates and immigration, as well as the more recent trend of our ageing population. It also analyses the motives of different interested parties, both those who promote population growth and those who argue against it.Bigger or Better? makes the complex and controversial issues around population accessible to general readers and will contribute to public debate about this important topic.
