I keep hearing that Australia’s population is so low due to uninhibitle land. Yet they have a very generous immigration attitude and there’s no child limit that I’m aware of. How can/does geography make any difference?

Australia allows (legally) roughly 12000 immigrants per year. It fluctuates. That’s about .05% of current population. Compare that to the US which is approximately .3% of current population. By the numbers, it is 6 times harder to immigrate to Australia than the US. This is in no way a judgement on either country. Just a comparison. Countries around the world have wildly varying rates of immigration.

Take Germany for example: their immigration rate is well over 1.4%. (Almost 5 times higher than the US). However, there are approximately 1million Germans that emigrate out every year.
