AUSTRALIA should consider having a one-child policy to protect the planet, an environmental lobby group said.
Sustainable Population Australia told The Daily Telegraph that slashing population was the only way to avoid "environmental suicide".

National president Sandra Kanck wants Australia's population of almost 22 million reduced to seven million to tackle climate change.

And restricting each couple to one baby, as China does, was "one way of assisting to reduce the population".

"It's something we need to throw into the mix," the former Democrats parliamentarian said.

Sod off!
I want more kids one day! And our population is no where near China's!
Who is the idiot who came up with this so called idea?! They need their head knocked off their shoulders!
7million people?! OMG!!! Think of all the empty properties and such!

What aload of crock!

are you serious!

that's just crap.

thats bullshit
what they gonna do to my 3 kids? kill off 2? seriously this will never work

We'd then have the same problems China historically had with a large number of babies dumped because you're only allowed one and this one's not the right gender or has something wrong with it.

chels they're not saying cull the present population, just in the future. luckily! one of my friends has 12 kids!

What a load of rubbish!

its bullcrap
what about the ppl that have twins? would they make u get rid of one?

Good point Chels! I wonder if they have thought about that or not?!

get stuffed I want another baby hopefully sooner rather than later now
there is no way the people of australia will let this 1 go through!!
