Women asked to 'procreate'
From: AAP By Shane Wright
July 24, 2006

TREASURER Peter Costello has made a new plea to women to start procreating,
saying Australia's economy and defence system depend upon it.

Launching the Australian Bureau of Statistics census today, Mr Costello said
boosting the nation's natural fertility rate was vital to Australia's long
term health. 

He also urged fathers to take a bigger role in looking after their children,
saying they had a vital part in helping their female partners return to work
after giving birth.
...
Mr Costello said flexibility in the workforce, especially enabling people
[women?] to work from home, was one way of encouraging women to have more
children.

My comment:  If in the communication age women can work at home,
breastfeeding while working would be a lot easier.
