THE Berejiklian government remains teetering despite Nationals leader John Barilaro walking back plans to withdraw his parliamentary support. The Deputy Premier last week announced – then withdrew – plans to lead his entire Nationals team to the cross benches in response to the government’s latest Greens-inspired environmental planning policy – the so-called koala habitat protection plan.
NSW NATIONALS leader John Barilaro started it, by threatening to take his bucket and spade from the sandpit and go play on the cross benches. He made a thorough goose of himself on two counts: tittle-tattling to the public about matters that should have been sorted out behind closed doors and displaying his ignorance of constitutional conventions.
ANGER over NSW’s hard lurch leftwards has spilled into public view, with voters expressing disgust at the Berejiklian government’s Greens-inspired policy agenda. The government’s direction has become so unpalatable that its Nationals coalition partner has announced it would move to the cross bench en masse.
NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean is on a collision course with the State’s powerful Parliamentary Development Committee which has warned renewable energy is incapable of meeting growth demands. Mr Kean, who hopes to reduce State carbon emissions by 35 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2050, is under pressure to back away from his pet project by the cross-Party committee findings.
JOB-destroying climate policies are being championed by law-makers misled by “politicised” science, according to Federal Senator Malcolm Roberts. The Queensland MP said many politicians failed to scrutinise the highly questionable science they were embracing.
NSW National MPs are preparing to walk away from an increasingly radical Berejiklian government as it continues to unleash over-the-top environmental policies onto the State. The latest Greens-inspired policy, called the Koala Habitat Protection State Environmental Planning Policy, has up to six National MPs ready to quit the Coalition and sit on the cross benches.
WHEN a senior government minister publicly complains about his own government’s inaction on a life or death issue, it’s time to hit the public panic button. After last January’s devastating bushfires claimed 25 lives and countless hectares of land across NSW, we now learn that the very politicians gifted high-powers to prevent a repeat are complaining that they’ve not done enough.
WITH an ALP break-up being openly discussed, the Liberal Party risks having its own voter base ravaged by a sensible centrist Labor offshoot.
As Labor continues to be torn in two between its inner city socialist voters and regional working families, faction leader Joel Fitzgibbon has hinted the Party may need to split.
I feel a bit silly writing to you like this but there seems to be no other way.
I respectfully request that you give Australia permission to build nuclear power stations.
I see that in March last year that you said that personally you were against nuclear power but recognized that it had a place in the mix and you would discuss it at a later date.
THE man who stayed rich by exploiting green subsidies advocates for governments to keep the funds flowing by taxing the masses.
