Dutton’s Uranium Dream” is truly a DUD. Coal baseload as a portion of the NEM (minm demand) has fallen from 63% to 25% in just 6 years, primarily due to rooftop solar. Mr Dutton thinks his Nuclear baseload won’t suffer a similar fate (in 20 years time !) Your baseload is not special Mr D, it’s just expensive ! reneweconomy.com.au/rooftop-pv-takes-biggest-bite-yet-out-of-coal-as-fossil-fuels-and-demand-hit-... reneweconomy.com.au/nuclear-too-slow-to-replace-coal-and-baseload-simply-cant-compete-with-wind-a...

Today vaccine-injured Kara Potter led a Forest of the Fallen vaccine injury awareness event on the lawns at Parliament House.

The event was to protest the closure of the Covid-19 claims scheme and to further raise community awareness about the suffering of people injured by Covid vaccines as well as the silencing of doctors.

I thank Professor Angus Dalgleish, Dr Paul Marik, AMPS - Australian Medical Professionals' Society and Today vacci who also lent their support to the event.

Thank you to everyone who honoured the vaccine injured by attending the event. ... See MoreSee Less

Thanks Russell for supporting Forest of the Fallen. This is such an important gathering and needs to be more supported

Time to politician's woke up.

Well done Kara Potter . Your courage and determination is commendable. Bless you greatly.

Thanks Russell Broadbent MP for continual sharing of this and many tragic truths. So many I know sadly still choose to ignore.

I bet the media weren't there to report on this.

This is brilliant! Just watched Dr John Campbell on YouTube. I am so excited that the truth is coming out. THANK YOU Russel Russell Broadbent MP

Bless all those who have a heart for those injured and those who lost their lives and stood against the evil done .

Thankyou ALL for keeping this going .. It MUST NOT be swept under the carpet. Keep up the great Work.🥰

Politicians were exempt from having the vaccine!

Shame it wasn't advertised better and in all places, if your injured, it's hard to travel and finance to get yourself there! May we never forget, what the Australian Parliament has done to the people of this Country, in all aspects of our lives, environment and Country!

And how many politicians had the decency to view and acknowledge the tragic stories?? 🤔🤔

Good job. I see people getting called anti vaxxer all the time. Yet they had the vaccine and got Injuried.

What do you call a collection of clowns? Oh yes, a circus 🎪 All these disgraced frauds are doing is making things harder for any poor people who are genuinely vaccine injured.

Injured too. Declaration of War youtu.be/6RlK6bgtpyk

Thank you for continuing to raise this.

Today I had the great pleasure of hosting Professor Angus Dalgleish and Dr Paul Marik in Parliament House – world renowned, eminent doctors who are touring Australia with representatives from the Australian Medical Professionals’ Society. Both are sounding the alarm about the impact of covid vaccines and we would do well to pay attention to them.

Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash The rush to renewables and net zero is foolish at best. It is not informed by logic, and it is not in the best interest of the Australian people, or our independence. We are blessed with world-class quality and quantity of coal and gas right here in Australia. It’s our natural advantage. And we made use of that advantage for a long time – in fact, it served us very well. Australia used to be a manufacturing powerhouse because of its abundance in natural resources, but what’s changed? These days, we are locking away our coal and gas. Closing coal-fired power stations, one after the other, and banning further gas developments in Victoria. Not only do we lock away our coal and gas, but we give it to foreign companies - basically for free! Barely any company tax or royalties are paid. Australians will ultimately get no benefit from the natural resources that we own. That certainly doesn’t pass the pub test. Our natural wealth can be compared with that in Qatar. But there’s one key difference - they put their people first. How do I know this? Because you barely pay tax as a citizen in Qatar! Putting Australians first is the only metric by which good government should be measured. Our government are failing in this because of their desperation for global conformity, instead of assessing what is really in the best interests of all Australians. That’s Justice I as see it.

Australia's Desperation for Global Conformity

Russell Broadbent MP 619 views 7 October, 2024 3:57 pm

Russell Broadbent here, your Federal Member for Monash. Recently, the Minister for Energy and Climate Change, Chris Bowen, said that the climate debate is settled, and that their science can’t be questioned. This should be a huge red flag to Australians, we know better than letting Governments be the single source of truth. An obsession over carbon emissions alone, is not going to improve our stewardship of the Earth. In fact, Australia is completely insignificant as a carbon emitter compared to global counterparts like China. Because of Australia’s abundance of nature and sparse population, we actually sequester 5 times as much carbon dioxide as we emit, according to Professor Ian Plimer. Why isn’t this recognised? Because it doesn’t fit the narrative. The science is propaganda if it can’t put to the test or up for debate. Therefore, all options should be on the table when addressing serious issues that affect our nation’s future. That’s Justice as I see it.

Climate Science far from Settled

Russell Broadbent MP 354 views 4 October, 2024 3:53 pm

Russell Broadbent here, Member for Monash. Regional communities across Australia rely on backpackers for tourism, local economies and labour. We have the most attractive Working Holiday Maker visa program in the world, with more than 200,000 people coming to Australia under this program each year. But there are whispers that the government might scrap incentives for backpackers to make the trek to our regions, who are desperate for workers. The 88-day regional work incentive in the Working Holiday Maker visa program, which has already been removed for British backpackers, might also be cut for other nationalities under proposed migration reforms. Our farmers are rightly worried that they will face severe workforce shortages if this incentive is binned. A recent report commissioned by the NFF estimates if just 20,000 visa holders no longer ventured out of the cities, it would cost regional communities $203 million per year and more than 1000 jobs. For the horticulture sector alone, the absence of this workforce would cost $6.3 billion and 127,000 jobs along the supply chain. The numbers paint a dire picture. This Labor Government talks a big game about supporting regional Australia. But I think they need to be reminded that our food doesn’t come from Coles or Woolies – it comes from our farmers. Farmers feed the nation – it is our government’s job to support them. And that means getting backpacker workers out of our cities and into Aussie farms. That’s justice as I see it.

Aussie Farms Need Backpackers

Russell Broadbent MP 220 views 2 October, 2024 2:56 pm

Russell Broadbent here, your member for Monash. You read a lot in the papers these days about our quest to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Every day, there is yet another puff piece about how clean, economically viable and ‘ready to go’ renewable energy is – and with the newly funded Future Made in Australia Fund, this rhetoric is only going to continue. But there is a fatal flaw in this narrative. Many of these articles fail to talk about the FULL extent of the environmental impacts of renewable energy projects. In fact, the Environment Department itself are only required to consider the environmental impacts of renewable energy projects on a case-by-case basis – not overall. But they are more than happy to draw attention to the so-called ‘big picture’ impact of rising carbon dioxide levels in our environment. Seems like a double standard to me. It has become clear that our city dwellers haven’t stepped outside of their apartments to consider just how much of our flora and fauna will be gutted to make room for the renewable energy infrastructure they support. Judith Sloan put it perfectly in a comment for the Australian last year, saying that: ‘It is slowly dawning on more people that destroying the environment to save the environment doesn’t really make any sense.’ She also says that: ‘for every megawatt hour produced, wind needs seven times more land than coal-fired power plants, and ten times more land than gas power plants.’ What does that mean for our farmers and country dwellers? Who will be forced to give up their land for the government’s net-zero agenda? A double standard indeed. That’s justice as I see it.
