This year Australia's people count ticked over 25 million - three decades earlier than experts planned.
In this episode of Please Explain we're taking on the issue crying out to be addressed by Australians all over. From our car-clogged cities, to dusty farms, people want to know: what is the plan for our population?

Host Tory Maguire is joined by Politics Editor Peter Hartcher and Chief Political Correspondent David Crowe to discuss the politics of population - in a nation buit on immigration.
Producer David Estcourt looks at how overseas migration to small Australian country towns can work, and senior Herald writer and population expert Matt Wade talks us through the economics that drive where people choose to live.
