I'll shorten this video to a comment for all you people who CBF watching the video, I don't need to watch it for the answer as I have lived in Oz for all of my 49.4 years of life! The reason why we have such a low population is simply this - 90% of Australia is an arid desert with little to no life or water in it......There you go!!
I used to work in China and I would get asked constantly, “Why is Australia’s population so small”. My answer always was WATER. Then they would give me a look of disbelief. So I would explain to them that the Yangste river has more water flow than all the rivers in Australia combined. Then they understood.
You should tell them if Australians moved to China they would have more water than we would know what to do with it, and if China moved to Australia then they would want to come back to their own land cause they would run out of water in 1 week
I've got a great idea. Raise immigration to over 1 million people per year. Dang, they're already trying to do that ! Oh well, nothing helps a housing crisis more than more people.
Especially when our mid to far left woke AF grubberment under Albo's lead, keeps dividing us all by race wars and over 800% the sustainable rate of immigration and r tarded state/city/council laws and rules for building houses or granny flats compounds issues!
As an Aussie the idea of my entire countries population being crammed into individual cities across the world that are smaller than our smallest states I couldn't imagine how disgustingly overpopulated and polluted it'd be. My coastal town of 12,000 gets so crowded its faster to walk then drive in holidays.' Also our water issue is due to our government selling off our water as an investment to China, they are also drying up inland rivers buying up the farmland that rivers cut through and damming them up and using them to grow cotton (a super water thirsty crop)
@@mab2187 because filtering sea water through reverse osmosis costs about 4 times what current drinking water costs now and just look at the wonthagi desal plant costing the Victorian population $1m per day to sit there and do nothing People also forget science shows we are exiting the tailend of an ice age so it's only natural the planet will warm As humans we produce about 3% of total global Co2 emissions so to believe that by reducing our footprint of emissions will miraculously save the planet is quite literally delusional
@@mab2187 Desalinization isn't perfect and it takes out a lot of valuable minerals as well. It also doesn't take enough of the bad salt out. The thing about natural water sources is they also pick up nitrates and organic compounds that are necessary for healthy soil cultures. That's why you can't really grow in the desert, there's no nutrients, and rivers/floods/rain carry those nutrients.
40% don’t live in the capital. Canberra is Australia’s Capital and its population is way under a million. What is true is that most Australians live in the capital cities of its states and territories (Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Darwin).
The Aboriginal people thrived in all areas of Australia until white man brought them plague, pestilence and genocide. Most of the indigenous knowledge about how to thrive in this wonderful continent has been lost due to arrogant settler superiority complex.
You are going to be that picky after not even being able to repeat what was originally said? He said a very different figure than 40 percent, for those who live in the capital. At least listen properly if you want to correct someone.
@billybobwombat2231 Best ever ,Arrrrrrrrrrrr! The peace and quiet.......except for the ruddy cane toads,and snakes. But we learn to live with them ...yes?
@@multi.interested. I presume you mean Canada and Mexico. However both Canada and Mexico have states. So I guess we are both right when considering North America.
But housing is putting people right next door to each other. No long having a back or front yard. Living right next to one another yet the people don’t want to live in high rises, like they do in some countries. Don’t believe me? Have a look at South Officer, Victoria, Australia. I know someone who lives near Officer and I saw this a while ago. Disgusting is the Australian housing style now. Disgusting.
Your "space" reminds me of Canada. We all live in a strip of land 300 miles from the U.S. border. Politicians want to revitalize our city centers instead of developing rural areas. There is no attraction for people to move into the countryside. We are all clustered in select major cities across Canada and now these cities can't support all the people that live there; the demand for housing has outstripped the supply. Houses in rural areas are quite affordable but no wants to live there because there is no good infrastructure connecting these places to the rest of Canada and hence few jobs. The only time Canada pays attention to its countryside is to exploit resources from it. Based on what I am hearing Australia doesn't sound all that different.
@@michinwaygook3684 what you are thinking is not what he is saying, when he said we love our space , he is talking about the distance between houses and so on, not how much development is needed, our government is developing all the time with new roads and infrastructure and it's always ongoing. We do not live on a strip of land, we live in Suburbs and each has it's own diversity but we are not crammed in like sardines that is what he is saying, we have space and we love it.
@@Ghost_Ninja60 I may have missed what he was saying but you obviously missed what I was saying. I was not suggesting Australians live in a strip of land. I was suggesting that like Canadians Australians mainly reside in select major cities while most of their country remains empty. Concentrating your population centers in a few areas leads to things like housing shortages which lead to rising prices, and I know like Canada Australia has a housing crisis. From what I can see Australia still doesn't have a high speed train, just like Canada. Like Canada you have an extensive rail system for freight but the same cannot be said for passengers. Like Canada cities are sprawling with a reliance on cars. Suburbs dominate, and public transport coverage can be limited in outer areas. Like Canada rural and remote regions often face challenges, particularly with internet access. Like Canada access to healthcare facilities can be limited in remote areas. Both our countries have a lot of space but we far from use it efficiently or well. Just like traveling into the outback traveling into Canada's north takes planning or you can die if your car breaks down.
Fighting drought by driving your car less is like heating your pool by peeing in your toilet. You fight drought by increasing drought-resistant plants and by adding more and larger water reserves.
Why is it, every model of climate change for every place on the planet assumes that no matter what climate that particular place has, climate change will make it unlivable. Climate change would have to make some place better by accident.
You know what im saying? It sounds more like there's some corporate interests tied up in "climate change" rather than a changing climate being a legitimate risk for humans. You really think corpos would do that? Just, lie to the world to further their own private investments? I sure as fuck do.
Life takes millennia slowly adapting to certain habitats. Whenever there's a sudden change on an evolutionary timescale they simply can't adapt to the changes fast enough, they don't have the luxury of AC and structures built to overcome the changes. (We can't overcome them using technology indefinitely either.)
Aussies just too ‘lazy’ to build outward …. hardly progressive and prone to procrastinating. Yes, urbanised as it’s cheaper NOT to build infrastructure outward. It is not ‘all’ scorched dessert it is used for cattle sheep and mining. Rainwater main tap water staple is being used for wrong agricultural practices like cotton. Crown lands and indigenous issues don’t help. With time things will change esp population being bumped by a million per annum migrants.
I was born in the UK and was as ten pound pom in 1971. We moved to My Isa. We have some relatives who come for a holiday here and but There was something I couldn't emphasis enough. Yes Like England you can drive 3 hours west there but here if you drive more than 10 hours that way here. If you don't have a plan, plenty of fuel,water, food, a sat phone. If something happens you will die. Period. It happens over and over here There is a reason we all stick to where the water is.
Hi Danial Sorry and hope this isn’t appropriate If you lived next to a white fibro house on stilts I think I was you neighbour. Tr****r street. If you were my neighbour I hope you are keeping well and always wondered what happened to the Brays

He often has to go to Perth for supplies and tells me how bad the freeway now is. Hospital in Mandurah is now half the size it should be. The population more than doubled in my time living in Mandurah and has exploded since we left. Even the housing in Bunbury is inadequate with rent doubled in the last 2 years. Katanning is also having a housing shortage with no housing for the temp residence who come for training or seasonal jobs.

I live in Australia and i was not aware of many of the information you provided. Thank you very much, I got now a better perspective of where I live. Not that I can do much to change the situation. Australia is politically and economically part of the British American empire. Over the last 2+ years the Australian government allowed more than a million people to enter the country as migrants or as University or higher education students but without any planned increase in houses or other places for the "new" people to live, which have created a big problem for people that do not own their own homes as those new migrants are or the section of the Australian population that had not been able to own the place where they live . This is going to create social unrest and other social problems in a matter of a few years and earlier if the British American empire starts a war with the resto of the world. I am not very optimistic about the future.
"Mel - BeN" please I beg of you WATOP, it's pronounced "Mel-BEN". not born. I promise. every australian you meet will absolutely love you if you refer to it properly
I live in an inner suburb of Melbourne. The housing problem is being tackled with higher density projects, over the bleating of the NIMBYs (Not In My Back Yard). But one of the sources of the problem is the high levels of immigration. Those new citizens need somewhere to live. Businesses like high population growth because it means more customers. Governments like it because they can point to GDP growth, even if GDP per capita is going backwards.
Yes in their own country not ours we can’t afford them. Any of them. We need to stop immigration now for the next hundred years maybe longer. This country is a desert and shouldn’t have it overpopulated.
Yes and the immigrants don't want to live in the apartments we're building lol. Mainly because they're too small. Some of these bedrooms are so small you can barely fit a double bed in there.
@@MrBCorp Immigrants and others may not wish to live in apartments but others do. Single occupants or childless couples. That reduces competition for larger dwellings for those who require them. Units with small bedrooms will not sell if people don't want them.
Since you’re talking about aboriginal farming, you’re obviously referring to the dark emu hypothesis that has been well and truly debunked. Aboriginals were holding on by the skin of their teeth and almost all parts of Australia, through the extent that it was common across most mobs toeuthanise any child that was born before the previous child could walk. 40% of the men died in intertribal violence and 25% of the women died in intertribal violence or domestic violence. There’s no romanticisation possible for the way aboriginal people live.
@@gavinknight8560the Dark Emu hypothesis, can’t remember the blokes name, but it was a book that was out about a year before covid and was since debunked.
We don't have a climate crisis here in Australia that is man made. The unpredictable climate here is completely normal. We are doing ok with our climate and will continue to do ok. Dont be alarmed or fooled 😊
It’s not ok to lie. Climate change is very quickly destroying us, those who deny it are bots or political refugees from the 1920’s. I don’t know how old you are… but I’m old enough to remember when it rained.

I live north West of Dubbo ..N.S.W Australia we have had a LOT OF RAIN lately, it's now summer and it's HOT and sticky ( humid) looked at the thermometer yesterday it read 35 degrees that is not good this time of year,it's nuging into 40 degrees .We get terrible heat my area in summer where you are laid prone for lack of energy in the afternoons the heat midday is so hot outside the moisture in our lungs is sucked out through our mouth, the moment you step outside .water evaporation dries out our bird bath every day ,and cold showers turn warm so we do not use the hot water tap. Yes you ask how can we live there ........we had no choice our money only allows us to buy a cheap home do it up ,and that is the best most Australians do who live out inland. But growing and planting trees is a important hobby,we struggle to have gardens choosing native plants is common. But to stay away from northern hemisphere problems ,threat of war, conflict etc , we pay for this avoidance with this punishing desecated poor soil land with its deadly insect poisonious snakes crawling across your back garden in the mornings and strange wildlife. We put up with droughts dust storms and sevear flooding deadly bushfire, and flooding when the rains come ,we hang in there hoping for better days, persevere and rebuild......because we strangly enough we love this country it's red dust has entered our blood and we are part of it now. 😊...We have an old saying..( better the devil you know etc etc) .
Geez mate - I lived in Parkes (nearby) for 3 years, same climate -- you're making it out to be far worse than it is in my opinion, but you're right about there being plenty of rain.
WE HIT MINUS 10 FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS NOW ABOUT -2 TO -5 (AVERAGE winter) SOME EXTEEMS HAVE BEEN -20 TO EVEN -40 (ALBERTA) CAN GET SCARY FOR THOSE WHO ARE RUNNING LOW ON OIL/FIREWOOD OR ELECTRICITY OUTAGES
Great video but you missed one of the most well known towns where people live under ground, Coober Pedy SA. But thats for the video, I'm over 50 and there were some new things I learnt today.
As an Australian, 😂😂 most of you couldn’t handle our heat 0:07 we mostly live on the coast due to the deserts … climate change won’t change anything. We also have the hole in that ozone layer.😂😂 do you get why we’ve got a better sense of humour than most of the world?
Better without then in need of crap coming in from illegal sources, bad enough we have people that try to change a country for it's own good . I'd love to see how they can live in a desert or would want to live in a desert when you have a coastline you can settle on. You also have the Aboriginal Protected Lands, this prevents 65% of population growth..... The biggest problem.. Where the hell you gonna get cheap housing for a repop cap explosion, it's almost over 1mil per house in Australia now.. You would need to have a job that pays at least 200k-500k per year.
I live in the Illawarra region - it has more rainfall than London. If you take Australian rainfall as an average, including the deserts, it's low - but that creates a very distorted picture. There are areas the size of European nations here that get more rain than European nations! Also, Australia is NOT getting drier, the most severe droughts on record were in the 1890's and 1930's - whereas the wettest years on record were 2011/2012. Over the past decade, Australia's rainfall has been great - flooding is a far bigger problem here than drought - so this American dude is basically making stuff up.
The whole world has been overdrawing water. Here in the USA midwest I've had a humidifier running nonstop for months. 😢 Lotion everyday. When I was a kid in the 90s it was normal to have at least 3ft of snow in November. 😢
The notion that the world has a freshwater scarcity issue is a manufactured crisis. Using the same amount of electricity needed to power a small building, I can generate enough clean potable H2O to provide for 100K people
and as for that very last bit... we haven't been able to build new homes because there a couple of major construction companies that basically control the entire home building industry for most if not the entire country... and they hold their monopoly tighter than a lamb's tail docking ring
A bit like you might stand in an empty parking space to reserve it for your dad, we subjects of His Majesty King Charles III of Australia are just here hugging the coast of this "terra nullius" to stop the French and/or the Dutch from laying claim to it.
2:30 "Two thirds of Australians live in the capital." Australia's capital is Canberra, with a population of about 450k, or about 2% of the national total. What was probably intended was "live in the capitals" meaning the State capitals (plus Canberra) for which the numbers do roughly line up.
Learn About Australia properly mate, i am Australian so you just been educated by a resident. We do not call every part of bush in Australia forest it is called bush, they did not practice farming, they dug up yams and other wild bush tucker, and that 's it, as far as farming they knew nothing about such a thing, they are bush people, hunter gatherers they took what they needed to survive per tribe and burned bush land when the grass was too dead and overgrown, they would drop seeds at area's they rested in when on walkabout, and the seeds would grow wildly, if that is farming then we need to change our ways of real farming
@@craiglister2139the stuff ghost is talking about is bushland. Aboriginals did not burn rain/forests. Only bushland. They have been here for over 60000 years. And have adapted to their surroundings, and that varies widely across aus. When aboriginals lit fires it was to flush out animals and also rejuvenate the flora that need fire to germinate.
@tmunit2840 obviously you have not been to North Queensland. There are pockets of scrub (rainforest to southerners) that were burnt to make bora grounds. The scrub will burn if it is dry enough. I grew up on the Atherton Tablelands. Pygmies were the native tribes in and around the Atherton Tablelands.
More information about indigenous farming please. There is a fake “indigenous” historian who has 100% European ancestry that has written a book making stuff up… from fantasies in his brain… I am not saying they had no farming… they were very tough people to survive the landscape for thousands of years… but I would like to see some evidence of farming because until now I’ve seen none…. Also keep in mind that there are many indigenous elders that say there was no farming and that they were purely hunter gatherers. So be careful where you get your information.
I agree, at school years ago (in Aussie), we learnt that the Aborigines were hunter/gathers that moved around depending on the seasons and that some tribes used to fight each other.
Until the "indigenous" historian, I think his name is Bruce, mentioned farming, but there has never been any evidence of aboriginal agricultural activity. This claim has been made to muddy the waters around a very sensitive issue and to make sure charlatan Bruce keeps his pathetic job. People like him should be ridiculed and jailed for rorting the system.

Newcastle has 508,000, also more than Canberra or Hobart. And Geelong has 282,000. That's also more than Hobart.
@@Ulbre You don't care about facts? Just setting the record straight if anyone is interested. Particularly if you live in any of those three cities that are supposedly smaller than Hobart, and don't rate a mention. They gave specific city population numbers of the top cities, but left out three of the top ten, implying that they are less populated than Hobart, when they actually have three times the population. The video purports to be all about facts of Australia, and when they get it wrong, you think I should just shut up about it, and people don't need to know?
I live nearly 100 km from the coast in a low rainfall area the outback can not support people, yes the Aborigionals did but barely survived and had to constantly move, day after day to find enough food to exist. They did not thrive, except closer to the coast as hunters and gatherers. There are lots of lies being told about their stoneage culture.
But it's proof we could have towns underground in future if required. Heck there are MANY countries as dry as ours that have cooler homes because they were built to accommodate it, some incredibly beautiful.
@@masada2828and thats a problem? Alot if people live in deserts all around the world and have had centuries in some areas to build homes & towns to accommodate the heat. We really could learn a thing or two from them!
Australia is a low tax country. An additional $105 billion in revenue would be collected each year if, as a nation, we simply taxed at the average rate of the OECD. Australia ranks 9th lowest for all taxes and, when adjusted for social security contributions (SSCs), 7th lowest for income taxes out of the 38 nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). What is the basis for your complaint about land ownership?
@@pshehan1 He might mean interest rates and there's a heap of taxes when buying a house and/or a block of land to build on. I don't know what he means really.
The real population density is where there are people. If 90% of the population live on .22% of the land, then that means in the cities, there are 3,694 people per square mile. Outside the cities they have a density of 0.8 people per square mile. I wouldn't want to live in either of those situations.

@@AZBADBOYzwhen I lived in Mesa it was 118°F everyday for the 5 months I lived there. We had to keep our air conditioning set at 80°F and that was like walking into a refrigerator compared to outside. Arizona in no joke it would rain to the point the streets were flooding and still be over 100° F outside. That was from May to October.
I remember about 25 years ago when climatologists predicted that the southeast of Australia would face drought and scarce rainfall. But look at what’s happening now-there’s plenty of rain. I’ve lost faith in these climatologists. If a scientist challenges the idea that climate change isn’t real or that humans aren’t the cause (if it is real), they are automatically defunded. We need to hear both sides of the story; right now, it’s all one-sided. Let’s have a serious debate with Ian Plimer instead of only hearing one perspective. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, we had very hot and long summers in Melbourne. Now, Melbourne’s summers are noticeably cooler and lot's more rain. I agree we should stop burning fossil fuels and work towards cleaner alternatives, not renewables. However, it seems whenever we don’t like the weather, or there are floods or fires we’re quick to blame it on climate change. Listen to the stories of the aboriginal regarding climate changes in Australia over the last thousands of years.
It's getting wetter - the stats prove it. Wettest years on record were 2011/2012 - worst droughts on record were in the 1930's & 1890's. The video is BS

Interesting. Especially since the aboriginal people had no problems living and thriving there until... outsiders showed up and did what they historically do... just saying.
I can drive from Brisbane to Perth along 3,654 Km of road. It would take 48 hours and 15 minutes. In the Northern Territory in the 70s we used to measure distance in terms of slabs of beer. If you come to Australia on holiday make sure you measure distances on the map of places you’d like to fly to when you get here.
Your info seems a bit out of date but a very good video. Lake George is just a shallow puddle really . It has been disappearing and reappearing pretty much since Canberra was created in the 1920s. A workmate took his family on a roadtrip across to Western Australia and back. When he returned, the first thing he said was "Did you know that 90% of Australia is shit?"
We have weak cowards as leaders who can't see potential in building cities internally. They prefer to talk DEI and pronouns than future proofing Australia.
This might be the most informative comment section I’ve ever seen. Thank you to everyone who shared, giving us a real look into what’s actually going on and how people feel about it.
Australia did not drift to its current position in 20 million years. That is preposterous. It would have to be moving several hundred feet a year to get to its current position doing that.
Yeah we're big on deserts and having no water.. Pls dont come, the water restrictions are bad enough with the amount we have now, when i was a kid we had only 21mill population, but now its like 27mil, water bill goes through the roof when you have a veggie garden
Shame we have to import 2 million more migrant workers because aussies are too lazy to go work on the farms for a season and would rather smoke bongs on the dole.
They have a great tank museum, that's the most important thing imho. Though how they manage to get the bloody things to stick to the underside of the world is anybody's guess.
You have a math problem here. At 2:30 you said 2/3 of Australians live in the capitol, and 40% live in the two biggest cities. There is no possible way for both of these to be true as you would have 66% + 40% = 106%. The population of Canberra is roughly 500K , which is less than 2% of Australia.

@@montecarlo1651 they never based their assertions on archaeological evidence, every single time they asserted a period of time they had been on the continent, it was holy knowledge which was racist to debunk.

More than 30 years ago I proposed a megaproject for Australia with a shipping canal that was a mile wide 500 feet deep and ran from the top of Australia to the bottom. The material extracted could be used to build man made mountains some ten miles away which would allow evaporation to be captured as precipitation ultimately making the ten mile strip on either side of the canal to become fertile land for farms and cities for workers. Tourist boats and container ships could find an easy route. However with cultural and ownership concerns it was deemed unfeasible.
This proposition is absurd on multiple levels. Just compare the challenges faced by the Panama Canal, which is far shorter in length, to something of this scale. Even the Snowy Hydro Scheme, an ambitious but far more realistic project, encountered massive hurdles. I can’t find any credible public records of anyone in a position of authority proposing this idea. The closest comparison might be the Kimberley-Perth Canal, which was widely regarded as impractical and was never realized. This concept seems as outlandish as Saudi Arabia’s Neom project-but at least Saudi Arabia has the financial resources to pursue such grandiose ventures without risking national bankruptcy.
25 years ago, I also proposed the same, but unlike your completely unbelievable story, my totally false tale is more realistic insomuch as I'm not blaming indigenous people, but instead I'm suggesting the $300 trillion cost made it prohibitive. See what I did there? I considered how economically impossible your wild idea was; rather than displaying tacit racism to First Nations people. So tuck ya head in ya mug.

But they refuse to allow some of that land, to be sold at affordable prices, so people can build an affordable, solar powered, rainwater harvesting house. I lived in rural "almost outback" WA for just under 20 years and may return one day.
Easy solution (not cheap).. the center of Australia has a portion below sea level.. Pipe water from the sea to create an artificial lake. This will add humidity to the air and promote growth. To desalinate the water mangrove trees can be used.

"If humanity were to extract and use all possible natural resources to create things like cars, phones, technology, buildings, and rockets, what percentage of these resources would eventually return to their natural state as deposits in the event of an apocalyptic scenario where everything decays?"
I wouldn't get into the climate debate in Australia unless you live here. In the 70's-80's I farmed on a station of 55,000 acres, (Australia doesn't have ranches) on the edge of a desert...and it got hot, really hot, 50 degree type hot, in the middle of summer It also didn't rain for months, and when it did, is was fantastic. Irrigation was the go, and Australia even had storage dams for for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation areaI and the Colleambally irrigation area., Blowering and Burrinjuck dams. De-regulation of the rice farms was the downfall of a good system. A rice farm used to be 90 acres. De-regulation let every big farm grow rice, so all the little farms kept growing rice, but so did the big stations who could grow thousands of acres of rice. This is why water became important. It is also about sabotaging farmers rights for the sake of a few karens in the cities that know nothing about what is going on in the agricultural sector, except what they are told by people who don't know themselves. But the temperatures and rainfall have been consistent over the last 40 years, and even if central Australia's rainfall was halved, the desert would still survive. You have to live these areas to really appreciate them and not give in to climate alarmism that has gripped the minority in Australia.
@@JeremyPaulStiles Australia is a carbon sink - meaning we absorb more carbon than we produce. Cow farts, methane, is fully absorbed by the scrub, the soil and tree bark.
Never heard about the farm but did hear how the middle land got even more destroyed by common aboriginal hunting habits of creating large Forest fires, or how they killed the original pygmy population, also maybe made some animals extinct by their arrival
I'll shorten this video to a comment for all you people who CBF watching the video, I don't need to watch it for the answer as I have lived in Oz for all of my 49.4 years of life! The reason why we have such a low population is simply this - 90% of Australia is an arid desert with little to no life or water in it......There you go!!

I used to work in China and I would get asked constantly, “Why is Australia’s population so small”. My answer always was WATER. Then they would give me a look of disbelief. So I would explain to them that the Yangste river has more water flow than all the rivers in Australia combined. Then they understood.
You should tell them if Australians moved to China they would have more water than we would know what to do with it, and if China moved to Australia then they would want to come back to their own land cause they would run out of water in 1 week
24% of China is desert. Ask them why they don't live in that part.

We need to repopulate? We can't house the people that are here! Smh

I've got a great idea. Raise immigration to over 1 million people per year.
Dang, they're already trying to do that !
Oh well, nothing helps a housing crisis more than more people.
Especially when our mid to far left woke AF grubberment under Albo's lead, keeps dividing us all by race wars and over 800% the sustainable rate of immigration and r tarded state/city/council laws and rules for building houses or granny flats compounds issues!
we could house people if there werent so many greedy bastards who own way to many houses
Build houses in Western Australia ( 3:46 ), banned people to migrate to big cities. Problem solved.
As an Aussie the idea of my entire countries population being crammed into individual cities across the world that are smaller than our smallest states I couldn't imagine how disgustingly overpopulated and polluted it'd be. My coastal town of 12,000 gets so crowded its faster to walk then drive in holidays.'
Also our water issue is due to our government selling off our water as an investment to China, they are also drying up inland rivers buying up the farmland that rivers cut through and damming them up and using them to grow cotton (a super water thirsty crop)
Gotta make them cheap shirts! :(
Why not filter the sea water?
@@mab2187 because filtering sea water through reverse osmosis costs about 4 times what current drinking water costs now and just look at the wonthagi desal plant costing the Victorian population $1m per day to sit there and do nothing
People also forget science shows we are exiting the tailend of an ice age so it's only natural the planet will warm
As humans we produce about 3% of total global Co2 emissions so to believe that by reducing our footprint of emissions will miraculously save the planet is quite literally delusional
@@mab2187 Desalinization isn't perfect and it takes out a lot of valuable minerals as well. It also doesn't take enough of the bad salt out.
The thing about natural water sources is they also pick up nitrates and organic compounds that are necessary for healthy soil cultures. That's why you can't really grow in the desert, there's no nutrients, and rivers/floods/rain carry those nutrients.
I used to live in Melbourne, the pollution in these mega-cities is no worse than Melbourne.
40% don’t live in the capital. Canberra is Australia’s Capital and its population is way under a million. What is true is that most Australians live in the capital cities of its states and territories (Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Darwin).
The Aboriginal people thrived in all areas of Australia until white man brought them plague, pestilence and genocide. Most of the indigenous knowledge about how to thrive in this wonderful continent has been lost due to arrogant settler superiority complex.
Dude you are being pedantic, everybody, except you, understood what he meant.

We Australian people love our space , no need to live on top of each other
We don't need more immigrants to invade our precious spaces, we have more than enough to cope with.
But housing is putting people right next door to each other. No long having a back or front yard. Living right next to one another yet the people don’t want to live in high rises, like they do in some countries. Don’t believe me? Have a look at South Officer, Victoria, Australia. I know someone who lives near Officer and I saw this a while ago. Disgusting is the Australian housing style now. Disgusting.
Your "space" reminds me of Canada. We all live in a strip of land 300 miles from the U.S. border. Politicians want to revitalize our city centers instead of developing rural areas. There is no attraction for people to move into the countryside. We are all clustered in select major cities across Canada and now these cities can't support all the people that live there; the demand for housing has outstripped the supply.
Houses in rural areas are quite affordable but no wants to live there because there is no good infrastructure connecting these places to the rest of Canada and hence few jobs. The only time Canada pays attention to its countryside is to exploit resources from it. Based on what I am hearing Australia doesn't sound all that different.
@@michinwaygook3684 what you are thinking is not what he is saying, when he said we love our space , he is talking about the distance between houses and so on, not how much development is needed, our government is developing all the time with new roads and infrastructure and it's always ongoing. We do not live on a strip of land, we live in Suburbs and each has it's own diversity but we are not crammed in like sardines that is what he is saying, we have space and we love it.
@@Ghost_Ninja60 I may have missed what he was saying but you obviously missed what I was saying. I was not suggesting Australians live in a strip of land. I was suggesting that like Canadians Australians mainly reside in select major cities while most of their country remains empty. Concentrating your population centers in a few areas leads to things like housing shortages which lead to rising prices, and I know like Canada Australia has a housing crisis.
From what I can see Australia still doesn't have a high speed train, just like Canada. Like Canada you have an extensive rail system for freight but the same cannot be said for passengers. Like Canada cities are sprawling with a reliance on cars. Suburbs dominate, and public transport coverage can be limited in outer areas. Like Canada rural and remote regions often face challenges, particularly with internet access. Like Canada access to healthcare facilities can be limited in remote areas.
Both our countries have a lot of space but we far from use it efficiently or well. Just like traveling into the outback traveling into Canada's north takes planning or you can die if your car breaks down.

Why is it, every model of climate change for every place on the planet assumes that no matter what climate that particular place has, climate change will make it unlivable. Climate change would have to make some place better by accident.

Life takes millennia slowly adapting to certain habitats. Whenever there's a sudden change on an evolutionary timescale they simply can't adapt to the changes fast enough, they don't have the luxury of AC and structures built to overcome the changes. (We can't overcome them using technology indefinitely either.)

I live in Australia and i was not aware of many of the information you provided. Thank you very much, I got now a better perspective of where I live. Not that I can do much to change the situation. Australia is politically and economically part of the British American empire. Over the last 2+ years the Australian government allowed more than a million people to enter the country as migrants or as University or higher education students but without any planned increase in houses or other places for the "new" people to live, which have created a big problem for people that do not own their own homes as those new migrants are or the section of the Australian population that had not been able to own the place where they live . This is going to create social unrest and other social problems in a matter of a few years and earlier if the British American empire starts a war with the resto of the world. I am not very optimistic about the future.

Since you’re talking about aboriginal farming, you’re obviously referring to the dark emu hypothesis that has been well and truly debunked. Aboriginals were holding on by the skin of their teeth and almost all parts of Australia, through the extent that it was common across most mobs toeuthanise any child that was born before the previous child could walk. 40% of the men died in intertribal violence and 25% of the women died in intertribal violence or domestic violence. There’s no romanticisation possible for the way aboriginal people live.

It's either too much or too little.
I live in the Illawarra region - it has more rainfall than London. If you take Australian rainfall as an average, including the deserts, it's low - but that creates a very distorted picture. There are areas the size of European nations here that get more rain than European nations! Also, Australia is NOT getting drier, the most severe droughts on record were in the 1890's and 1930's - whereas the wettest years on record were 2011/2012. Over the past decade, Australia's rainfall has been great - flooding is a far bigger problem here than drought - so this American dude is basically making stuff up.

2:30 "Two thirds of Australians live in the capital." Australia's capital is Canberra, with a population of about 450k, or about 2% of the national total. What was probably intended was "live in the capitals" meaning the State capitals (plus Canberra) for which the numbers do roughly line up.
Learn About Australia properly mate, i am Australian so you just been educated by a resident. We do not call every part of bush in Australia forest it is called bush, they did not practice farming, they dug up yams and other wild bush tucker, and that 's it, as far as farming they knew nothing about such a thing, they are bush people, hunter gatherers they took what they needed to survive per tribe and burned bush land when the grass was too dead and overgrown, they would drop seeds at area's they rested in when on walkabout, and the seeds would grow wildly, if that is farming then we need to change our ways of real farming
Temperate forests rain forests. the word forest is used in Australia. Victoria has a depth called Forests and reserves.
@@craiglister2139the stuff ghost is talking about is bushland. Aboriginals did not burn rain/forests. Only bushland. They have been here for over 60000 years.

More information about indigenous farming please. There is a fake “indigenous” historian who has 100% European ancestry that has written a book making stuff up… from fantasies in his brain… I am not saying they had no farming… they were very tough people to survive the landscape for thousands of years… but I would like to see some evidence of farming because until now I’ve seen none…. Also keep in mind that there are many indigenous elders that say there was no farming and that they were purely hunter gatherers. So be careful where you get your information.
I was going to comment on that too until I saw your comment.
I agree, at school years ago (in Aussie), we learnt that the Aborigines were hunter/gathers that moved around depending on the seasons and that some tribes used to fight each other.
Until the "indigenous" historian, I think his name is Bruce, mentioned farming, but there has never been any evidence of aboriginal agricultural activity. This claim has been made to muddy the waters around a very sensitive issue and to make sure charlatan Bruce keeps his pathetic job. People like him should be ridiculed and jailed for rorting the system.

@@masada2828and thats a problem? Alot if people live in deserts all around the world and have had centuries in some areas to build homes & towns to accommodate the heat. We really could learn a thing or two from them!
It's actually called Coober Pedy.
Huh? We have a living thriving organisation city living in the ast Rocks of gods mouth?
Just look at the taxes and land ownership and you will have you answer why people don't want to move here.
thats why the gov imports refugees
Australia is a low tax country. An additional $105 billion in revenue would be collected each year if, as a nation, we simply taxed at the average rate of the OECD.
Australia ranks 9th lowest for all taxes and, when adjusted for social security contributions (SSCs), 7th lowest for income taxes out of the 38 nations in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
What is the basis for your complaint about land ownership?
@pshehan1 easy, he heard in a news report and believes it.
@@pshehan1 He might mean interest rates and there's a heap of taxes when buying a house and/or a block of land to build on. I don't know what he means really.
The real population density is where there are people. If 90% of the population live on .22% of the land, then that means in the cities, there are 3,694 people per square mile. Outside the cities they have a density of 0.8 people per square mile. I wouldn't want to live in either of those situations.
How about somewhere in between the cities and the country? :)
I live in manila, it has the whole population of oz in one city.
You forgot to mention that we will be one of the only countries to survive WW3 , also if you look back 60k years it’s actually one of the cooler times for the planets history
Seriously??? You don't think Pine Gap will get nuked???
They should check the underground water reserves.
One thing no one wants to talk about is how much of our ground water is contaminated with PFAS
@@inthestarrysky6166 I didn't even know about this until you mentioned it and I looked it up. Lived here all my life and had no idea. Wow
Watch about half of this video, I don't know where he gets his ideas about Australia but his facts are about 10% correct.
As a native of Arizona desert, their desert sounds like a tropical paradise 😂
😂 our desert areas can reach upto 50 degrees Celsius in the daytime in summer
@@alisonwilson632 so does parts of Australian outback. both deserts very similar, except AZ has mountains.
@alisonwilson632 In South Australia it often gets up to close to 50 degrees in the inhabited land near the coast..
@MickeyGee73 Ya that's a pretty normal temp for us 😉
@@AZBADBOYzwhen I lived in Mesa it was 118°F everyday for the 5 months I lived there. We had to keep our air conditioning set at 80°F and that was like walking into a refrigerator compared to outside. Arizona in no joke it would rain to the point the streets were flooding and still be over 100° F outside. That was from May to October.
It’s called a dry / desert 🌵 country .
Nearly all live on the east coast

I remember about 25 years ago when climatologists predicted that the southeast of Australia would face drought and scarce rainfall. But look at what’s happening now-there’s plenty of rain. I’ve lost faith in these climatologists. If a scientist challenges the idea that climate change isn’t real or that humans aren’t the cause (if it is real), they are automatically defunded. We need to hear both sides of the story; right now, it’s all one-sided. Let’s have a serious debate with Ian Plimer instead of only hearing one perspective. Back in the 1950s and 1960s, we had very hot and long summers in Melbourne. Now, Melbourne’s summers are noticeably cooler and lot's more rain. I agree we should stop burning fossil fuels and work towards cleaner alternatives, not renewables. However, it seems whenever we don’t like the weather, or there are floods or fires we’re quick to blame it on climate change. Listen to the stories of the aboriginal regarding climate changes in Australia over the last thousands of years.
It's getting wetter - the stats prove it. Wettest years on record were 2011/2012 - worst droughts on record were in the 1930's & 1890's. The video is BS
NONE OF THESE ALLEDGED INTELLECTUALS SEEM TO KNOW THE COUNTER-NARRATIVE TO ANY OF THEIR CLAIMS THOSE WITH C.N. BY THE WAY ARE CREDENTIALLED PEOPLE IN THE SAME FIELD . IT ONLY TOOK ONE SCIENTIST TO PROVE THAT THE WORLD WAS ROUND AND HELIOCENTRISM . THOSE WHO SILENTLY AGREED CAME TO THE FORE BUT HE PAID FOR IT WITH HIS LIFE . HIS NAME WAS GALILEO
you always report back with what the desired result should be politically. Then funding continues. That's science these days.
Interesting. Especially since the aboriginal people had no problems living and thriving there until... outsiders showed up and did what they historically do... just saying.
I can drive from Brisbane to Perth along 3,654 Km of road. It would take 48 hours and 15 minutes. In the Northern Territory in the 70s we used to measure distance in terms of slabs of beer. If you come to Australia on holiday make sure you measure distances on the map of places you’d like to fly to when you get here.
Tinnies or stubbies⁉
Your info seems a bit out of date but a very good video. Lake George is just a shallow puddle really . It has been disappearing and reappearing pretty much since Canberra was created in the 1920s. A workmate took his family on a roadtrip across to Western Australia and back. When he returned, the first thing he said was "Did you know that 90% of Australia is shit?"
Is not in the ocean why do you use miles ? Use Km like normal people
Muricans, m8!
Our government is a absolute joke
I believe that's true of most "gubments"!
We have weak cowards as leaders who can't see potential in building cities internally. They prefer to talk DEI and pronouns than future proofing Australia.
As an Australian it's getting to small now , and no one is invited to live we are fine thanks
The city of Gold Coast is bigger than Canberra. Newcastle, and Wollongong are bigger than Hobart
This might be the most informative comment section I’ve ever seen. Thank you to everyone who shared, giving us a real look into what’s actually going on and how people feel about it.
Could of made this a 4 word video, “too fuckin hot mate”
Ssh, world's best beaches😊
Australia did not drift to its current position in 20 million years. That is preposterous. It would have to be moving several hundred feet a year to get to its current position doing that.
Yeah we're big on deserts and having no water.. Pls dont come, the water restrictions are bad enough with the amount we have now, when i was a kid we had only 21mill population, but now its like 27mil, water bill goes through the roof when you have a veggie garden
Shame we have to import 2 million more migrant workers because aussies are too lazy to go work on the farms for a season and would rather smoke bongs on the dole.
Love a good stay away story, cheers for that
We're still full though! Don't come here
I think it's pronounced "fuck off".
The reason for Australia being so sparse is due to the people who lived here for thousands of years and used fire to hunt
Australia's problem is.. They have the same leaders as everybody else that like it easy..🤭
Austrialia is massive and a lot of land in the NT have left a lot of fallout damage from testing. No one can go there. (Top left of aus)
They have a great tank museum, that's the most important thing imho. Though how they manage to get the bloody things to stick to the underside of the world is anybody's guess.
We have a pretty advanced rare earth miniing sector - so we just use *BIG* rare earth magnets.
I've played in all those tanks. We had the world of tanks convention stay at my work, such a bunch of tank nerds haha
I am Australian, and I can tell you there are too many people here. I live in a town of two thousand and it get really busy at times.
We have villages in Australia?😅
Well, we have lots of village idiots so there must be at least a few villages about somewhere.
You have a math problem here. At 2:30 you said 2/3 of Australians live in the capitol, and 40% live in the two biggest cities. There is no possible way for both of these to be true as you would have 66% + 40% = 106%. The population of Canberra is roughly 500K , which is less than 2% of Australia.
He meant state capitals.
@@PT_911 Oh, that was not clear. Thanks for explaining that. He's usually spot on with his numbers.
I love how aboriginals of Australia keep changing their story, when i was a kid they claimed 20000 years then it was 30000 years, and so on up to now where they claim 50000 years.
that's because the archeological evidence keeps getting older. You can't expect any people to 'remember' 10s of thousands of years.
@@montecarlo1651 they never based their assertions on archaeological evidence, every single time they asserted a period of time they had been on the continent, it was holy knowledge which was racist to debunk. It’s also racist to suggest there were other populations in Australia that were wiped out, almost in a colonisation way, by the current dominant indigenous population in Australia. this is despite there being settlement era accounts of pigmies being hunted like sport by aboriginals in the tropical far north of Queensland. So basically, you need to accept anything they say, when they say it, or you’re racist in Australia.
@@wombatusmaximus1788 Tosh.
@@wombatusmaximus1788 That's what the abbo's say to us all when we do not believe their lies, all of a sudden we are all racists, you can believe them if you want but i been around them many times and truth is they always change their stories. i have a family of them behind me and they lie, steal, and fight often and they even try to pick fights. That is Fact. Don't get me wrong, there are some good honest, Aboriginals out there, but not enough.
@@wombatusmaximus1788 At this point in time being called a racist is a badge of honour because that word gets thrown around like bread crumbs for the pigeons.

More than 30 years ago I proposed a megaproject for Australia with a shipping canal that was a mile wide 500 feet deep and ran from the top of Australia to the bottom. The material extracted could be used to build man made mountains some ten miles away which would allow evaporation to be captured as precipitation ultimately making the ten mile strip on either side of the canal to become fertile land for farms and cities for workers. Tourist boats and container ships could find an easy route. However with cultural and ownership concerns it was deemed unfeasible.
This proposition is absurd on multiple levels. Just compare the challenges faced by the Panama Canal, which is far shorter in length, to something of this scale. Even the Snowy Hydro Scheme, an ambitious but far more realistic project, encountered massive hurdles. I can’t find any credible public records of anyone in a position of authority proposing this idea. The closest comparison might be the Kimberley-Perth Canal, which was widely regarded as impractical and was never realized. This concept seems as outlandish as Saudi Arabia’s Neom project-but at least Saudi Arabia has the financial resources to pursue such grandiose ventures without risking national bankruptcy.
@@Tsardoz aint china or some middle east country planting vegetation along the outskirts of its deserts to slowly improve the soil and moister levels
25 years ago, I also proposed the same, but unlike your completely unbelievable story, my totally false tale is more realistic insomuch as I'm not blaming indigenous people, but instead I'm suggesting the $300 trillion cost made it prohibitive.
See what I did there?
I considered how economically impossible your wild idea was; rather than displaying tacit racism to First Nations people.
So tuck ya head in ya mug.
@@Tsardozmate…leave it be. Our indigenous people thrived here for 60,000 years. No need for mega projects…just sustainable lifestyles that were totally in vogue…until white mans arrival…
@@Tsardoz You would need to go back further than 30 years, and it was never proposed by parliament. However had it been seen as a generational project it might be a lot closer to completion than if they started today.
I was expecting this exact topic to come out someday from this exact channel. Glad to see it.

As a city dweller, I often have trouble really wrapping my head around how much completely uninhabited/lightly inhabited land is out there.
But they refuse to allow some of that land, to be sold at affordable prices, so people can build an affordable, solar powered, rainwater harvesting house. I lived in rural "almost outback" WA for just under 20 years and may return one day.
Australia: country, continent and Island
Easy solution (not cheap).. the center of Australia has a portion below sea level.. Pipe water from the sea to create an artificial lake. This will add humidity to the air and promote growth. To desalinate the water mangrove trees can be used.

They were British nuclear tests
In the Australian big cuties, they are now recycling waste water.
Thats how liitle water there is.
I wouldn't get into the climate debate in Australia unless you live here. In the 70's-80's I farmed on a station of 55,000 acres, (Australia doesn't have ranches) on the edge of a desert...and it got hot, really hot, 50 degree type hot, in the middle of summer It also didn't rain for months, and when it did, is was fantastic. Irrigation was the go, and Australia even had storage dams for for the Murrumbidgee Irrigation areaI and the Colleambally irrigation area., Blowering and Burrinjuck dams. De-regulation of the rice farms was the downfall of a good system. A rice farm used to be 90 acres. De-regulation let every big farm grow rice, so all the little farms kept growing rice, but so did the big stations who could grow thousands of acres of rice. This is why water became important. It is also about sabotaging farmers rights for the sake of a few karens in the cities that know nothing about what is going on in the agricultural sector, except what they are told by people who don't know themselves. But the temperatures and rainfall have been consistent over the last 40 years, and even if central Australia's rainfall was halved, the desert would still survive. You have to live these areas to really appreciate them and not give in to climate alarmism that has gripped the minority in Australia.
Why exclude Alaska from the US (our biggest state)? But Germany on that scale looks like New Jersey
Fear not, CO2 has no role in Oz weather. The long cycles of dry and wet continue as ever.
Aww that's adorable.
But what about the cow farts!
@@JeremyPaulStilesvegans fart more than cows. 😂
We literally don't have a autumn or spring in some areas of the country so yeah, Wet season & Dry Season is far more accurate to describe our seasons
@@JeremyPaulStiles Australia is a carbon sink - meaning we absorb more carbon than we produce. Cow farts, methane, is fully absorbed by the scrub, the soil and tree bark.
Qld and NSW are also subject to severe flooding, a land of contradiction.
Australia is nearly 80 percent desert
No it's not actually.
Never heard about the farm but did hear how the middle land got even more destroyed by common aboriginal hunting habits of creating large Forest fires, or how they killed the original pygmy population, also maybe made some animals extinct by their arrival
