Interesting stats. Currently world pop approx increase every 100 days is equivalent to Australias total pop.
Is our planet overpopulated atm and how will overpopulation affect Australia into the future decades. Economy, food, water, drought, immigration, global financial collapse , China 1 child only policy........

The population of the world increases about 250,000/day = 2,500,000/10 days = 25,000,000/100 days

Australias population is about to hit 25,000,000 maybe later this month.

we can put all the people living into Australia and there are plenty of land to spare.

there is not over populated yet

Yes but we need infrastructure and water etc to make this happen........ maybe adopt a 1 child policy like China.... I do not think it is all about jobs and growth like Turnbull says. What about sustainability , it really needs to be seriously considered.

The world’s population has increased rapidly over the past century due to improvements in health and living conditions. Poverty has declined remarkably and prosperity has risen sharply.

As the effects of improving economic outcomes for the poorer parts of the world are realised, it is likely that at some point in the future the planet’s population will stabilise. This may take another 30 years. Add to this the human capacity to utilise technology to solve our problems and the future is bright.
 
Also with the rapid increase of AI , Artifical Intelligence increasingly replacing human workers there will be less jobs going in the future.

80+ million new people per year -- that's like a new Shanghai, a new Beijing, a new New Delhi, a new Lagos, and a new Tianjin being added every year.
Population growth rate is highest in Africa - look at those fertility rates and median age. I'm afraid hope and optimism may not be entirely warranted, shiney...

Yep, it will take some time before fertility rates are brought down. But it will happen, as it's happened everywhere else. I'll post some stats later.

Edit to add: can I have the link your table?

I'll paraphrase bordsilver here, who are the AI workers going to produce goods for?

You only see what's in your face?

The Population Bomb Has Been Defused
The Earth and humanity will survive as fertility rates fall almost everywhere.

Some of the most spectacularly wrong predictions in history have been made by those who claim that overpopulation is going to swamp the planet. Thomas Malthus, a British economist writing in the late 1700s, is the most famous of these. Extrapolating past trends into the future, he predicted that population growth would inevitably swamp available food resources, leading to mass starvation. That didn’t happen -- we continued to develop new technologies that let us stay ahead of the reaper.

In 1968, Stanford biologist Paul Ehrlich wrote “The Population Bomb,” warning that unchecked population growth would lead to mass starvation in the 1970s. He was just as wrong as Malthus. Global population did surge, but food production managed to keep up.

So far, the prophets of overpopulation have been defeated by technology. But human ingenuity alone can never deliver a final victory in the battle to feed the world -- eventually, population growth will overwhelm the Earth’s ability to provide calories. That’s why in order to put Malthus and Ehrlich finally to rest, a second component is needed -- lower fertility rates. To save both the environment and themselves, humans must have fewer kids.

Fortunately, this is happening. During the lifetimes of Malthus and Ehrlich, humans still tended to have large families, with each woman bearing an average of five children over her lifetime. But shortly after Ehrlich’s book, that began to change:
