Is Kelvin Thompson, Australian Labor Member for Wills, advocating (forced) population control? In the quote below you can see that he’s yet another person trying to conflate being “Green” with Population Control.

Labor Member for Wills Kelvin Thompson has told Parliament that global warming, water shortages and even terrorism and wars can be traced back to overpopulation.

[…]

He says there is a strong case for population control if world governments are to deal effectively with environmental, economic and social problems.

“It is time for governments and policy makers around the world to come to their senses and take steps to stabilise the world’s population,” he said.

“It needs to happen in every country, including here in Australia - especially here in dry, arid Australia.”

There’s so many things wrong with what he said, so much B.S. in there, that I’m not sure where to start with a rebuttal. Perhaps I’ll just say this seems to be pretty illustrative of his views.
