I think you mean 'Populate or Perish.' It refers to Australia's problem of increasing its population so that the country would have enough people to defend it against an invader. In 1942 Australia with its small population was in grave danger of Japanese invasion. The British had been defeated at Singapore, forcing Australia to seek an alliance with the US. After the war, the next likely invader was Communism. The Australian government attempted to increase its population naturally, with little success, before accepting white immigrants from Europe to become Australians.
