The current Australian economic model relies almost completely on population growth. Falling birth rates are matched (usually overcompensated) by increasing immigration rates.
The only way you'd put a halt on our population growth (an subsequent increasing carbon footprint) would be to have zero net migration, and let our low birth rate go from there.
There is near zero chance of that kind of policy being implemented.

And that is because we have a government driven by the fatally flawed economic model that treats devastation of our environment as an "externality". If they don't strive for infinite growth, the system falls over which is, of course, complete stupidity on a planet that has a finite surface area. This explains it perfectly:
