PM Albanese has failed Australia. His failed Voice referendum cost the Australian Electoral Commission a hefty $450 million alone. That’s $100 million over budget.
Added to this, the official Yes campaign was bankrolled by major corporate interests including the Big4 banks, the 3 major supermarkets, Qantas, Wesfarmers, Rio Tinto and BHP. Many of these companies made donations in the millions when they have been laying off staff to cut costs. Their donations to the Yes camp show how out of touch they are with the Australians they provide goods and services to.
The PM has swiftly moved on from his failure to warn that Australia is heading for economic and financial trauma. This is not news to Australians. In fact, it was made abundantly clear during the Voice campaign that Australians were more worried about the cost of living and felt it was inappropriate to hold the referendum.
Why was dangerous virtue signalling the government’s top priority? Why? I’m saddened to be the one to break the answer to you: this government does not care about you.
Will the government listen to the people now? It’s committed to Net Zero by 2050 but may as well be committed to driving us all off a cliff.
Every other country that’s tried to force their power grid onto wind and solar has had their power prices go up by a proportionate amount. When plotted on a graph, it’s nearly a straight line heading upwards, and it’s all for nothing.
The hard data shows that Australians’ carbon dioxide production cannot affect the climate above natural variability. The lie that wind and solar are cheaper is easily debunked by the fact that with more wind, solar, batteries and hydro on the grid than ever in our history, power bills have never been higher. It’s all a crock designed to fill the pockets of parasitic billionaire wind and solar proponents, fraudulently taking subsidies and donating to people in this Senate who support wind and solar.
Australians have already paid billions in subsidies to these billionaire predators and pay again as their power bills skyrocket. Yet both Labor and the opposition are committed to the UN’s net zero by 2050. The cost-of-living crisis cannot end until we ditch the United Nations’ Net Zero agenda.
Transcript
The failed Albanese Voice referendum is the latest spit in the face Australians have had to cop from the government. At a time when bills are going up and bank accounts are going backwards, Australians are going to be furious when they hear how much Anthony Albanese’s Labor government just wasted on a referendum. All I can say is: brace yourself for the answer. Four hundred and fifty million dollars—that’s how much the Australian Electoral Commission is estimating last week’s referendum cost. If you woke up with a hangover after some celebrations on the weekend and were scared to check your bank account, spare a moment to think about the Australian Electoral Commission. If their estimates are correct, the AEC have blown their budget for the referendum by nearly $100 million. In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, Anthony Albanese has blown $450 million, almost half a billion dollars, on his personal vanity project.
What did Australians get for this? Australians rightly rejected inserting racial division into the Constitution, with a thumping victory for the ‘no’ case. Not a single state reached a majority yes. Only the small Canberra territory, the bubble, recorded a ‘yes’ majority. The ‘yes’ side spewed divisive, racial, abusive rhetoric while claiming the high moral ground. The country is worse off for being put through this divisiveness, at a huge cost and for a proposal that should never have been put forward. Australia rightly asks: why is this Voice issue distracting government as mortgage payments skyrocket, grocery bills shock budgets and life continues to get tougher? Why was dangerous virtue signalling the government’s top priority? Why? I’m saddened to be the one to break the answer to you: this government does not care about you.
While I thank the Liberals for bringing on this matter of importance and allowing us to discuss it, they weren’t any better in government. Honestly, the Liberals put a wrecking ball through the economy and handed it over to the Labor government in one of the greatest hospital passes in political history, yet Labor doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of navigating us out of this one. Neither the Liberal Party nor the Labor Party can fix the cost-of-living crisis because they’re both committed to the UN’s net zero pipedream that caused the cost-of-living crisis.
This government is committed to net zero by 2050. They may as well be committed to driving us all off a cliff. If we keep going down this path, the number of Australians who can pay their power bills will be next to zero.
Australia doesn’t have to do this by ourself and find out the hard way. We can learn from many other countries further down this pipedream path than we are. Every other country that’s tried to force their power grid onto wind and solar has had their power prices go up by a proportionate amount. When plotted on a graph, it’s nearly a straight line heading upwards, and it’s all for nothing.
The hard data shows that Australians’ carbon dioxide production cannot affect the climate above natural variability. The lie that wind and solar are cheaper is easily debunked by fact—this fact: with more wind, solar, batteries and hydro on the grid than ever in our history, power bills have never been higher. It’s all a crock designed to fill the pockets of parasitic billionaire wind and solar proponents, fraudulently taking subsidies and donating to people in this Senate who support wind and solar. Australians have already paid billions in subsidies to these billionaire predators and pay again as their power bills skyrocket. Yet Labor, the Liberals and even the fake farmer friends, the Nationals, are all committed to the UN’s net zero by 2050.
After all the talk about truth telling, here’s some cold hard truth: the cost-of-living crisis cannot end until we ditch the United Nations’ net zero plans. One Nation is the only party that accepts those facts and can deliver cheaper power bills for Australia, turn the coal fired power generators back on, cut all the subsidies with the parasitic wind and solar industry and just get back to common sense, hard data and truth.
Common-sense hard data a truth, where did it go? Out the window, with integrity, it would seem.
Thanks Senator Malcolm Roberts and team.
We must also remember this last Financial Year was one of those that happen every five or six years when the Taxman relieves those of us who are paid fortnightly of the tax on an extra fortnight’s pay/super/pension. My wife and I live on Defence Super, which both DVA and DSS find inadequate for us to live on and so pay each of us a top-up pension (indexed six monthly on the previous quarter’s cost of living increase – so we are up to six months behind the real cost of living increases). Nonetheless, the Taxman deems it fit to relieve us of an extra $950 (equivalent of three top up pension payments – it would have been more if we didn’t support a few charities, the only tax deductions available for the retired) thanks to that extra pay day in the year. This is pure theft. There is never a financial year that has fewer than 26 pay days.
Catastrophes occur, man made or natural fairly (or should that be unfairly) regularly, and funds from our top mob coffer are found to assist and relieve. I have no objection to this. My only concern is how much, what percentage is filtered off in so called administration costs and how little actually reaches the suffering. For that reason I have sent my pittance via trusted contacts from the area.
But the promptness of the government in providing aid demonstrates that the funds are there.
Recently, again I have read the question ‘How many Australians could put their hands on $1,000 should an emergency arise?). AND THAT’S THE WORKERS.
So, two points here. A/ The cost of this latest circus stunt. The money has been found and spent. Where? Heaps of bumpf, media ads and polling booth staffing? RESPONSE:Money freed into the real world. b/ Just how much is tucked away in the kitty to be shuffled and maybe doled out as our faceless bureaucraps dictate?
As ancient person pensioners my wife and I ‘manage’. But thats about it. Lots of talk about getting the nation moving. Encouraging people to shift home to provincial areas and creating jobs away from the cities for all in those areas.
Sure we can continue to pay the dole to people living there now forced because of the lack of jobs and the reluctance to resettle in the cities, but to what end? What hope for the younger who can see little (if any) prospects for a career and life unless they move away AND what hope with the limited education available where they are if the do?
LET’S THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.
How about giving each ancient (say) a $10,000 funding card restricted to being spent within Australia, at least and not less than (say) 200 Kilometres away from home and not in a State capital or other particular areas already popular? Card presented on our birthday AND depreciating monthly by a percentage until usage commences.
I would spread my windfall across Australia from Hobart to Broom, Perth to Cape York.
Other reasonable condition could apply such as no remaining in one place for more than one week.
Busy bungee jumping, trail biking, hang gliding and scuba diving, I wont have time to write what may cause them, even with their thick skins, some discomfort.
Something that might really motivate bureaucraps to consider this is that it could expedite our demise but at least with a smile on our faces.
Basic science shows Carbon dioxide is NOT a climate problem, but absolutely essential to life on earth, other than a few oddities living in the deepest ocean trenches. Without CO2 all plants, animals and humans could not live. It is an essential ingredient the plants use for photosynthesis to make the starting point of every food chain. Our forests thrived in previous periods of higher CO2 levels. Climate change ‘scientists’ forgot to study this basic biology.
How does everything the Senator just spoke about Not surprise me. What I reckon would help is to turn off a lot of lights in Cities. Where I live I use to be able to see the Milky Way and Shooting Stars but not any more. We would be in a lot of trouble if we were back to WW2 days of tape over car headlights etc. If they tried that in Europe and the US I reckon you would see a huge improvement. Shame electricity still wouldn’t come down in price.
