Greens Call For Abortion And Human Sterilisation
AUTRALIAN Green Shirts support abortion and sterilisation in a one-child per couple policy to kill the human virus:
Australia should consider having a one-child policy to protect the planet, an environmental lobby group says.
Green Fact: The richer everyone gets, the greener the planet will be in the long run… (Instapundit). Green Fact II: Rich people have less children.
Sustainable Population Australia says slashing the world’s population is 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, is “one way of assisting to reduce the population”.
It’s a great policyfrom a Nominative Derterminator and a happy alternative to killing every other one of us:
During the past week, dozens of women in southwest China have been forced to have abortions even as late as nine months into the pregnancy, according to evidence uncovered by NPR.

Revealed: The Emails That Did For ‘Brilliant’ Damian McBride
ANORAK has seen the emails telling of a Damian McBride’s plot to smear the Tories.
The damning verdict on Damian McBride is that the papers that lead with news of his departure refer to him not by name – “Key Brown side” (Observer; Sunday Times), “Attack Dog” (Mail) and “Key Brown advisor”.
The name is Damian McBride. And now he’s gone, we know who he is. The BBC publishes McBride’s resignation statement in full:
“I am shocked and appalled that, however they were obtained, these e-mails have been put into the public domain by Paul Staines.”
Anorak readers are well-versed in such apologies. And here McBride is quickly establishing a sympathetic background story.
When Derek Draper originally suggested using a website to compete with the kind of material seen regularly on the Guido Fawkes blog, he asked me in a personal capacity to write up some of the stories doing the rounds in Westminster.
