Smith fears ‘revolution’

MILLIONAIRE businessman Dick Smith is launching a $1 million television ad campaign tomorrow to pressure politicians to cut immigration and increase taxes on the super-wealthy.

And he will be handing out toy pitchforks to warn of the violent “revolution” to come if nothing is done.

“I am doing this for my grandchildren because you cannot have endless growth and endless greed,” he said.

Mr Smith has hired actor John Stanton from the 1980s Grim Reaper AIDS campaign to voice the disturbing ad, which warns of violence on the streets if population growth goes on unchecked. He wants the number of people arriving in Australia halved every year.
