Description
Why vs Why: Big Australia
“I think it’s a terrific idea…It’s a series of small but perfectly formed books…it’s a very civil little series of books… a good way of presenting these sort of issues.â€
- James Valentine, ABC
"...a balanced approach to controversial issues..."
- Carlene Ellwood, The Sunday Tasmanian
"...the perfect physical embodiment of the gay marriage debate..."
- Andy Noonan, Sydney Star Observer
The question of whether Australia should welcome population growth or avoid it remains unresolved. The issue raises its head in public debate in different guises – from controversies over importing labour to filling vacancies in booming industries like mining, to temporary work visas and refugee quotas, from pressure on infrastructure and services in cities to boosting regional areas – who makes up Australia’s population and what level it should be remains a sticky issue.
THE YES/NO CASE FOR THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
The two positions are presented in an easy to read 2-books-in-1 format. Both authors discuss the seven key reasons why we should say yes/no to Nuclear Power and further investigate the evidence behind each of these reasons through their seven chapters. Importantly, this book leaves no issue hanging. On top of their seven key arguments, each author gives a punchy rebuttal to their opponent’s specific arguments.
YES:
Researchers Dr Oliver Hartwich and Jessica brown make the case in support of population growth, arguing that a bigger Australia would be a better Australia – with higher living standards, prosperity and vibrant cities.
NO:
Scholar and poet Mark O’Connor offers the case against a Big Australia, and argues that population growth is neither inevitable nor wise, and that any advantages from population growth will be outweighed by issues of survival and sustainability.
Why Why vs Why?
The Why vs Whyâ„¢ series aims simply to foster debate and informed discussion by equipping the public with all the key issues and answers thrashed out by opposing expert advocates, but presented by in an impartial way. Each book is an easy-to-read, pocket-sized presentation of everything the public needs to know about big issues. The Why vs Whyâ„¢ is a useful social tool to inform a wide audience.
