Description
Europeans declared Australia terra nullius - an empty land. This lie enabled them to take possession of land occupied for thousands of years by Aboriginal people, yet the number of whites in Australia remained small until after the Second World War. In the post-war years, government sponsored immigration schemes brought many more Europeans to Australia. "Populate or perish" became the catch cry of those who sought to achieve their vision of a secure and booming Australia, a land which had plenty of room for everyone - provided they were white. After nearly fifty years of continuous growth, this documentary recalls the fear and insularity which shaped Australian population policy. Today many fears remain, but contemporary anxieties find expression in movements opposed to further population increase. Population growth takes the blame for the destruction of both the environment and quality of life. Yet there are those who celebrate a more crowded, bustling Australia, believing that growth is essential to a thriving and diverse society. They argue that the greatest threat to our natural, social and cultural landscapes is not the size or make up of our population, but the way we choose to live. Populate or Perish explores Australia's population debate, from Sydney and its suburbs to inland Tibooburra, from the populous Gold Coast to its near neighbour Byron Bay. What is revealed is not simply a question of numbers, but highly contested visions of Australia's future. A Film Australia National Interest Program. Produced with the assistance of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Copyright - 2011 National Film and Sound Archive of Australia. Executive Producer: Sharon Connolly Producer: Susan Ardill (Producer), Clare Bonham (Co-Producer) Director: Susan Ardill Writer: Susan Ardill (Writer), Tony Barrell (Narration Writer) Narrator/Presenter: Deborah-lee Furness
