Australia's Desperation for Global Conformity

7 October, 2024

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.
