DEPUTY NSW Premier John Barilaro says he backs coal to the hilt while his energy minister Matt Kean has announced he wants to be completely rid of it. Mr Barilaro has promised there would never be a moratorium on coal while Mr Kean’s failed choice for climate tsar, Malcolm Turnbull, publicly pushed for an immediate end to coal mining licences.
THE decision to appoint deposed PM Malcom Turnbull as NSW’s climate tzar has backfired spectacularly with Premier Gladys Berejiklian being accused of betrayal. Others have called for NSW Energy & Environment Minister Matt Kean to follow Mr Turnbull out the door.
THREE weeks after WA’s radical Liberals were butchered at the ballot box, NSW Minister Matt Kean has called for the Party to shift even further Left. The WA Liberals, which now holds just two of the State’s 59 seats, had attempted to outgreen The Greens, calling for net-zero carbon emissions a full 20 years earlier than Labor.
THE New South Wales Coalition is expecting to lose the upcoming by-election following the resignation of Upper Hunter National MP Michael Johnsen. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said that the Liberal-National Coalition would need a “miracle” to win the seat previously filled by Mr Johnsen.
ANGER for the increasingly radical NSW Energy & Environment Minister Matt Kean has become uncontained, with Liberals in his own backyard now publicly venting their frustration. High profile Party member Bob Partington this week tore strips off his local MP after the appointment of deposed prime minister Malcom Turnbull into a taxpayer-funded “warming warrior” role.
MATT Kean’s appointment of Malcolm Turnbull as NSW’s zero emissions tzar has been described by voters as ridiculous, an abomination and political suicide.The former prime minister was this week tasked with de-carbonising NSW after his “good friend” handed him the chairmanship of NSW’s Net Zero Emissions & Clean Economy Board.
WHEN sandal clad, social security funded brigades of bearded buffoons began to invade corporate Australia’s AGM seasons some years ago, no-one took much notice. The presiding Chair allowed them to speak, the meeting politely listened to whatever rant and rave then, afterwards, they devoured capitalist-provided cakes and sandwiches. No harm was done – until union superannuation funds empowered them by joining the fray.
THE mood among Liberal Party supporters is darkening as the Party continues its hard lurch to the Left, shedding millions of voters as it does. From this month’s Western Australia debacle – where a radical Liberal opposition was all but wiped out – to recent big losses in Queensland, the Northern Territory and a minority government in Tasmania, there’s little joy among centre-right conservatives.
Federal MP Zali Steggall is being advised on climate issues by one of the nation’s most disproved doomsday scientists. Left-wing activist Tim Flannery was appointed by Ms Steggall in 2019 to advise her on meteorological issues, despite his speciality area being with mammals.
THE two political Parties pushing the most radical climate policies have been all but wiped out in last week’s Western Australian election. The Greens lost 75 per cent of its parliamentary representation while a confused Liberal Party shed 85 per cent of its seats.
