Melbourne- the new sydney?

Question

do you think it is a good thing that melbourne's population may outstrip sydney's in 2028?

Answer 1

No@

Answer 2

If I recall my history, it is only very recent that Sydney actually outstripped Melbourne in population and importance

Answer 3

The very idea of overpopulated Australian cities fills me with dread. Thank goodness for the jungles of Borneo.

Answer 4

Sadly communities, groups, clans and nations have been trying to out-populate each other for centuries. As a consequence there are now 6.6 billion people on the planet and an another 250,000 or so are added every day. Our natural environment is now buckling under the strain of so many people. So, to answer your question, no, I don't think it's a good idea that Melbourne ad Sydney compete to have the largest population.
