Would Australian politicians contemplate a strategy for human survival?

Governments around the world avoiding the
constellation of threats to the survival of humans. 

At least 10 mega-threats to human continuation on our planet have been looming for decades. In Australia, our efforts to confront even one of these threats – climate change – have been half-hearted, to say the least. The others are being largely ignored by most people, and certainly by our political leaders. They include: world population growth, food insecurity, ecosystem decimation, depletion of the resources on which our societies depend, threat of nuclear war, uncontrolled technology and artificial intelligence, global poisoning, pandemic diseases and, above all, the self-delusion that we can somehow escape the consequences of human actions that have placed us in this predicament.
