He adds that countries with small populations and high salaries cannot compete against countries with big populations on low salaries: “Russia and China have huge armies of over a million. Small countries with standing armies on high salaries don’t have enough forces. That’s why smaller countries should have conscription.”
There it is, there is a push for conscription in Australia due to historically low recruitment for the Australian Defence Forces.
This is an attempt at normalising conscription and nothing more.
I’m against conscription and I have family that have served in the ADF, in war time, and they also oppose it.
I’m not suggesting a method to reduce population its just an observation that there are simply too many people for basically anything to be sustainable.
