Yes, we do. Reopen the closed coal mines and stop selling our natural gas to China. Australia’s natural resources should be for Australians.

As a planet, it matters not which country is burning coal. If at least 2 of the largest countries burn it we might as well all burn it. Australia is only hurting itself by not burning it whilst the rest are still burning it. Time for some commonsense in the reality of global harm.

We'll be living in the dark without coal.

We need more coal fired power stations. It’s extremely hypocritical to say that our country is going green and yet we are happy to sell all the coal other countries want to burn and have no intention of stopping or even reducing their use of coal. The rest of the world is building new coal fired power stations because it’s the most efficient and economical option atm . Meanwhile Australia intends to shut down our remaining six coal fired power stations to save the planet. Total lunacy

Wouldn't it be nice . Would love to see this net zero business put to rest. Also one nation holding all the cards.

Build new more efficient coal plants

Can't make all these electric cars ,solar panels and wind farms without it

We do

And we have it in abundance.

thats because people running our country are morons and selling every thing to over sea

China has 3,092 coal fired power stations, Australia has 19, yet the government & the greens believe shuting down our 19 will save the world! And to top it of, they use coal from Australia to make so called "environmentally" friendly products like solar panels, and then Australia buys these! To believe this is good policy, one must be intellectualy handicapped...

So one hand you say you will slash my electricity bill by 20% overnight and now you will "aim to slash them by 20%"

Would love to know how many Aussies want our coal fired power stations reinstated and more built, that would be a poll worth doing Australia wide for born and bred Australians.

We need to sell it too.

As infrastructure is in place and don’t have to be built and paid for by consumers

We need to build a new coal fired power station, and keep the lights on

Why are we getting rid of our coal fired electricity, when the rest of the world is building more.....WHY. .

Keep coal fired power station as they are cheaper than green energy

Yes! Wake up politicians - this should be an obvious choice! It's not rocket science!

Just interested in how much more carbon in the atmosphere is optimal ?

Jeff Cuthbert coal fired power stations were built next to a coal deposit. Once the coal is used how do you keep it going? How do you maintain a hole in the ground?

It would help if the big nobs in labor and liberal didn't receive huge kickbacks from the renewables sector. A look in their finances would probably reveal huge shares in electric cars, solar power, wind farms. Why else could these peanuts be so dismissive of coal fired power stations if they weren't going to get a buck out of it. No matter how many babies albanese holds, or falls down stairs you don't this pelican in charge of our country for another 3 years.

Pure insanity!! And this also affects the smaller towns throughout Australia, where these industries are. We all know it

Yes we do

Yes we do.!!!!!!!

Being pushed by 2 dropkicks Albo and Bowen

100 percent

It is about control,wake up Australia before May 3rd.

Here here Senator Malcolm Roberts yell it out loud say no to communism

they want everyone broke so everyone has to work there guts out to pay for taxes. A country thats too busy working is too busy to fight back.

I always ask people, and they can’t answer it, so let’s so we achieve this mythical state of net zero. What does that actually do for the environment? By how much will it lower global temps? The answer is of course nothing. It is just virtue signalling pure and simple. We all pretend we’ve done something great and pat ourselves on the back, meanwhile people can’t afford to cool/heat their homes and are losing their jobs as businesses shut down due to high costs.

Can Australia become a communist country? Well yes, it can and right under our noses. This is what is happening to Australia. To have Australia become a socialist communist country: 1. Have a PM and members of his left wing party, that have strong ties and membership to the Search Foundation formerly known as the Australian Communist Party. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 2. Have a PM and members of his left wing party that have strong ties with the Chinese communist party. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 3. Have a "back up party" (greens and teals) who support the current government's agenda. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 4. Increase cost of living, then dish out paltry amounts to gain votes, which leads to dependency on government handouts to survive. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 5. Create division and chaos among its citizens. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 6. Create policies so small businesses and farmers can't survive. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 7. Import into our country, vast numbers of immigrants to create a shortage of rentals and home ownership. Yep, we have that under Albanese and the labour party. 8. Kill off business development and infrastructure, the most notable is the NSW gold mine, that was quashed, that revenue into the government coffers, would have re un into the $Bs. Plus closing down the timber and fishing industries and banning WA sheep export, just to name a few. We have that under Albanese and the labour party. 9. Garner support from large businesses and multi-national companies. Proof of this is the massive donations for the Voice campaign. Yep we had that under Albanese and the labour party. 10. Leading up to an election the use of scaremonger - maliciously maligning those in opposition. This is being carried out by albanese, repeating over and over "you will be worse off, under Peter Dutton". Unfortunately by saying this repeatedly, many people will believe it. This is called brain-washing and many people will fall under this spell. We have that under Albanese and the labour party. This is where we are headed, under a labour government. Please share this.

That about sums it up folks !

Spot on

Well said

We need someone with balls to stand up or someone like pauline

It’s not called ‘the green new deal’ for nothing. It’s all about the money.

We have always been net zero. Only takes 46 trees to offset 1 tonnes of CO2. All these wind turbines are removing trees which were absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen.

Those who control the energy control the rest of us

You're not wrong Malcolm. They won't stop with the new world order crap. What did they say....... "You will own nothing and will be happy." Not bloody likely.

I suspect that this net zero aim is to reduce world population. The ideal CO2 in the atmosphere for plant growth is around 1000 parts per million. By keeping it low the plant growth is limited and the ability to grow plants as food is limited. Millions of years ago the CO2 was much higher than today and plant life thrived, all the coal was plants that grew and were deposited and under pressure became coal. When dinosaurs were around the CO2 was 2000 to 4000 parts per million and there was lush plant growth back then with the temperature slightly warmer than today. The CO2 for those plants was once in the atmosphere. There were no humans back then to increase CO2.

Greens too

The heat capacity of a gas does not affect its greenhouse potential on the Earth. The frequency/wavelength of its Infrared (IR) absorption/emission lines in relation to the frequency/wavelength of the IR being emitted by the Earth and the air above the surface of the Earth is very important in determining the Greenhouse potential of a gas. The other important issue is the concentration of the Greenhouse gas (the concentration of CO2 is much lower than that of water vapor and the molecular mass of CO2 is 44 compared to 18 g/mol for water vapor). Therefore the greenhouse potential of CO2 is much less than that of water since the average concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere is 5 times that of CO2 and molecule for molecule the spectrum of water vapor is a better match for the IR emissions of the planet. Depending upon who you believe the Greenhouse gas potential of CO2 is between 3% of the Greenhouse Effect (GHE) and 24%. Almost all of the rest is water vapor and clouds (methane/ozone and NO2 are almost negligible). The greenhouse potential of the much more prevalent diatomic molecules in the atmosphere, i.e. N2 and O2 is almost nil because their IR spectrum in almost blank. HOWEVER, there are effects which are important in the heat balance in the atmosphere and for which N2 and O2 are important. They are much more concentrated than CO2, i.e. 790,000 ppm for N2 compared to 400 ppm for CO2, and they carry away heat from CO2 molecules. The contribution of heating in the atmosphere from conduction and radiative absorption is therefore more than a little controversial. Also, the contribution from convection by thermals and clouds is also HUGE. Saying that this “science is settled” is ABSURD. There is a LOT to learn. Simply plugging in 3–24% of the 20 degree C total GHE for CO2 as a percentage of the total and then compared the human contribution to CO2 compared to natural sources, can provide a ROUGH estimate of the best and worst case contribution of humans. In so doing, with the <5% human contribution to CO2 emissions (38 Gt CO2/year) compared to the total CO2 emissions (e.g. plant decay, forest fores, volcanoes, exchange with the oceans, etc. of >800 Gt CO2/year and the 0.06–5 deg. C total CO2 GHE, you can come up with a very approximate estimate of the possible human contribution to climate change (before cloud feedbacks) of 0.006 to 0.5 deg. C. That is too small to worry about and almost certainly beneficial. CO2 increases are beneficial for reasons of plant growth. Bottom line: CO2 is a Greenhouse Gas but changes in its concentration are too small to cause any concern for the climate but DO have a huge positive effect on Plant Growth.

It's better to have an economy than climate

Yes Malcom .. a fact not lost on many people!

I see you guys are going through the same problems as we are in Canada. They want total control and trying to starve us out with carbon tax. They have let in way to many immigrants that really throws the whole economy off balance

Aust is at net zero already?

All the same thing it is the power to have control of everybody.

That’s what the government in place now is built on and represents “ Communism” not us the people

Wake up Australia don't let the communists rule us

It’s a Bloody lease it was not sold, Cancel the lease problem solved.

How that deal was ever allowed to happen in the first place is beyond belief. Unless you are an Australian citizen, you should not be able to own any real estate in this country. End of story.

The fact that it was ever allowed to be leased in the first place should raise some serious questions and accountability to those involved. But this country is a cesspool of corruption so that will never happen

Should never have been sold off in the first place. We have been betrayed

Labor and liberals are corrupt as each other!

Just change rules regarding foreign ownership and force him out…this is what happens when you allow foreign ownership of critical infrastructure

Yes, we sell everything to overseas companies and they rort us. We sell all our natural resources and rich minerals to overseas corporations. They laugh and sell the same products back to us at exuberant prices and we don't blink an eye. Wake up Australia and vote One Nation, the only party that cares for all Australians.

Our Government, bureaucrates and councils past and present have never been help accountable, that is why out once great country is now in big trouble.

should not have been sold in the first place those morons in government need to all go had enough of them all pauline always gets my vote always

Why didn’t they do a lot of things!

To have sold off our port was an act of Treason.also our airports, it beggars belief that we are ruled by such ninkenpoops, they are destroying our country, have them charged for mismanagement.

Compulsory acquisition please

Do you think we could run port at Beijing They shouldn’t be here And should never been

LNP GOVT legislated for such an eventuality while in govt. It was Labour NT govt that sold it off.

Why didn't albo do the same over the last 3 years. You Malcolm Roberts have shown your true colours and will never get my vote.

This is getting interesting! Sounds like Australia will get our port back!

Dutton is a WEF puppet

Ahh the old “ coulda shoulda woulda “ UK saying same now re immigration

Because they are buying votes it should never happened grub Turnbull!!! And Dutton never made it public they are all party men not too many have real guts like Pauline!!!!

It’s Australian , the Government leased it purely for Money , the Australian people want it back in Aussie hands

Yes One Nation would but unfortunately they will never be dominantly in power to do this

It would be so good to have a government we can trust to do the job there getting paid for ant stand either party

What's happening with Newcastle NSW?????????

They have a 99yr lease. All leases should carry some kind of termination in the contract. There should be a clause in that contract! Or did our again useless govt elites fail to put a clause in to terminate contract at any time. Absolutely pathetic and useless asf!

The Inconvenient TRUTH. There has been no lawfully appointed Government since Federation, thanks to Western Australia, they were the last state to join the Federation before our Commonwealth of Australia Constitution 1901 was proclaimed and Gazetted. Here is why. this research was carried out By Wayne Glew, one of the most conversant people on the laws contained in the above constitution. Before Federation, there were only 6 colonies of England here. And when they became States at federation they had in place their individual Constitutions brought forward from their previous Status as Colonies. Queen Victoria set these Constitutions under her letters patents, which means that only a Monarch re: Herself before her death could alter them or remove them, and those monarchs of England after her gained that privilege while they were on the throne of England. and at present it is King Charles III of Great Britain and Northern Ireland who Holds these letters patents. So, Western Australia removed 32 Clauses from their original Constitution prior to Federation, without approval from Queen Victoria, thus breaching the Letters patent and thus annulled Western Australia as a lawful State Entity. Therefore, instead of there being 6 Lawful States at Federation, There were only 5 lawful States. Now when you read the Constitution Act 1901 as proclaimed and Gazetted, to hold a Federal Election it clearly says that the candidates must be picked from the 6 States of the Commonwealth, But we only have 5 Lawful States at federation, so! Therefore there could not be an election held to form a Federal Government from then until now as there must be 6 lawful States involved in a Federal Election. So the provision to hold Elections for the Federal Parliament was breached. s. 128 of our 1901 Constitution says that the only way our Constitution can be altered is through s.128 via a referendum. But even if there was a referendum it would be invalid because only a Monarch can Change the letters patent. Since Federation all the States have removed their original Constitutions under letters patents without the Consent of our Monarchs since federation. Therefore there are no Lawful State Legislatures or Federal Legislatures. All sit in treason. Also, these unlawful Legislatures sign up to many foreign powers without asking the people via s.128. And by doing so they breached s 44 of the Constitution Act 1901 as proclaimed and gazetted, and also clause 5 of the preamble to our constitution. there are no such entities as governments, prime ministers, premiers, chief ministers or Magistrates, and the ACT and the Northern Territory do not exist in Constitutional law, there had to be referendums carried out for those possibilities. so they both sit in treason of our Constitution. There is much more evidence of treachery and treason folks. Many thanks for reading we need to take our Country back. It follows that if we accept the above as fact and can be proven via research and documentation, then How to vote becomes redundant, pointless, unless of course the population at large want to continue to contribute to their own demise and end up in total slavery. Following this path of self destruction is inevitable if that path is followed. An old military tactic is simple in construction, deprive the enemy of supply, that supply being votes, which equals cash ,which equals power, it then becomes just a matter of time, with enough pressure that the enemy will fail in their objective. The enemy are criminal frauds, Cartels, deprive them of supply and we are on the track to victory. Oh and message to those on the east coast, remember who supplies 48% of the wealth to this nation, getting involved in West Coast affairs isn't wise, especially as the east side of Australia can't even fix its own messes up, ie All eastern states are a mess, Victoria especially. Pay attention to the above information, because if you are not part of the solution, you sure are part of the problem.
