EVERY Australian family should be limited to just two children to curb the population explosion, controversial millionaire Dick Smith says.
He called for a China-like quota on the number of kids, warning the growing burden on our resources was like "a plague of locusts".
Yes the Australians have been over-producing for decades - haven't they?

In Australia as in NZ it’s impossible to have a real discussion on demographics.
Allowing for deaths, with births and migrants, Australia’s population has still increased 300-350k every year in the last 5 years.
That is a new Christchurch every year in needed infrastucture.
No one wants to live in flyover country anyway, Melbourne is set to overtake Sydney in a few years as the largest city, as Sydney’s infrastructure crumbles.
The real interesting topics like who is doing the breeding , and at what age, are the long term markers of whether their standard of living is sustainable or not.
The cognitively gifted are delaying having children, if at all, while the cognitively challenged are not delaying anything as long as the taxpayer largesse continues.
And Dick Smith isn’t about to poke that hornets nest.
So if he has noticed the trends, then all he can do is use broad brush code words...like it’s bad for the environment.
