Prime Minister needs to walk the talk
Senator Malcolm Roberts welcomes the Prime Minister’s criticism of “unaccountable internationalist bureaucracies” like the United Nations yet doubts Morrison has the character to pull out of their destructive agreements.
“Our Prime Minister has a history talking the talk, but never walking the walk and this speech contradicts his precious actions. I challenge him to now walk the talk,” stated Senator Roberts.
“Since the 1975 UN Lima Declaration, successive Australian Prime Ministers have signed a myriad of damaging agreements, treaties, protocols and declarations that have removed our sovereignty and watered down our democracy,” said Senator Roberts.
While many would describe the United Nations as a ‘toothless tiger’, Senator Roberts added “this doesn’t explain why Australian governments eagerly and enthusiastically adopt the UN’s socialist agenda to the detriment of the Australian people and our future.”
How is it possible that the Prime Minister can claim “Australia’s international engagement will be squarely driven by Australia’s national interests” and yet embrace the Paris Agreement which is making power unaffordable and causing the de-industrialisation of our once prosperous country.
The Prime Minister states “We can never answer to a higher authority than the people of Australia”, but I bet the Prime Minister does not have the gumption to hold a referendum on whether Australia should leave the Paris Climate Agreement because he knows he would lose.
“If the Prime Minister has genuine intent on putting Australia first, he needs to identify the specific actions that must be taken. I await his policy announcement,” Senator Roberts concluded.
