Yet more nonsense from population alarmist in chief Dick Smith: Australia should have a 'two child policy'. Given that Australia has a really easy lever to pull to change its population - namely its migrant intake - it's really unclear why this is up there on Smith's list of population control strategies, even if we accept the need to limit our population.
According to the ABS only about a third of Australian women by the age of 40-44 had given birth to three or more children. So we're talking about a vanishingly small impact on our population, at the cost of imposing a policy imported from the Peoples' Republic of China. And here I was thinking Dick Smith was against imports.
I do not understand what it is about having lots of money that makes the media, especially the ABC, give this idiot a platform.
Oh and I forgot the kicker here. Guess how many children Dick has? Three.
So I think we can conclude that one place that isn't overpopulated is Dick's top paddock. I think he's a few sheep short of a full flock.
