The eco-fascist face of population control

By Malcolm King - posted Monday, 21 May 2012


  • Is it not odd that a movement that allegedly supports democracy actually wants to reduce the number of democratic participants?
  • It is not bizarre that as the speed of Australia’s population growth slows, that the SPGNwant to drive birth numbers even lower than the 1.9 per female average?
  • Is it not the height of audacity that a bunch of blokes with science, engineering and accounting backgrounds want to meddle in women’s contraceptive rights and sexual health?

  • Is it not strange that although the radical anti-people faction hate technology (‘the root of all evil’), they still warm their cars in the drive on a cold Adelaide morning and take their kids to the doctor when they get sick?

The miserable anti-life bloc represents the worst form of ‘anti-logic’ that passes off for much debate today. Their self-righteousness has more in common with the agenda setting of TV current affairs, where selective sources are used to foster specific emotions such as hatred, fear and outrage.
