Australia’s birth rate may be slowing. Especially in the Northern Territory, because of hospital challenges and the lack of private maternity services.

On average, there are approximately 363,000 births and 174,000 deaths worldwide each day. [1]Because the number of daily births is more than double the number of daily deaths, the global population increases by a net average of about 190,000 people every day.

It is true to say that, in world terms, there is a plague of people. Australia, like many others, is experiencing a general slowdown. No wonder anger is exploding worldwide.
