by FRED PAWLE – THEY might disagree about the dangers of coal, but federal ministers Penny Wong and Tanya Plibersek share an enthusiasm for idiotic social media posts.
Environment Minister Tania Plibersek says Australia is saving the planet by banning coal. Meanwhile, her Foreign Affairs counterpart Penny Wong has proudly toured a coal-fired power station on the other side of the world – and promised $10m to keep it running.
- Plibersek is hoping to convince gullible voters that coal is evil.
- Meanwhile, Wong is handing over taxpayer millions to keep European coal-fired power running.
- Plibersek and Wong are neither saving the planet nor defending western civilisation.
Not only do these two positions clash, neither Plibersek nor Wong are even superficially aware of the facts behind their portfolio or policies.
Plibersek claimed on X this week that the previous Coalition government was “laughing about climate change” and had approved eight new coal mines.
Her government, meanwhile, had approved no new coal mines. Or so she thought.
Community Notes quickly corrected her, pointing out that Plibersek’s government had in fact approved three new coal mines – on top of the four other mines it had approved to open or expand since it came to power in May 2022.
The reason coal mining must continue in Australia is clear from this graph of the total income of the coal-mining industry in Australia from 2012-23.
All of that income generates taxes that the government needs so it can buy votes from the “graduates of useless” in a desperate attempt to remain in power. But I digress.
Plibersek was hoping to convince gullible voters that coal is evil, and that only her government has the resolve to stop digging it up before the planet is destroyed in some sort human-induced biblical apocalypse.
This is of course based on the widespread misconception that summer isn’t meant to be hot, Pacific islands are being submerged by a rising ocean and industrialisation will be the downfall of humanity.
It takes only a few minutes online to learn that all those assumptions are profoundly incorrect.
But even if this catastrophism were correct, it would still be news to Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong, who yesterday happily posed for a photo inside a coal-fired power plant in Trypilska, Ukraine, boasting that Australia was sending a lazy $10m to help keep those coal furnaces burning.
But wait! Will that $10m in aid even arrive at the Trypliska power plant? Ukraine is governed by notoriously corrupt people.
As this Ukrainian explains to freelance American reporter Nick Shirley: “Wong naively believes that the money Australian taxpayers send to Ukraine will be spent on the health and wellbeing of ordinary Ukrainians and what she vaguely calls regional security.”
The truth is slightly different, as Foundation for Freedom Online director and former State Department official Mike Benz explains. The main beneficiaries of our support for the war in Ukraine are American and European gas and arms companies.
BANNED
The war in Ukraine was never about “democracy” or “freedom”, both of which are to some extent banned in that country, as Tulsi Gabbard points out.
Despite what they say on social media, Plibersek and Wong are neither saving the planet nor defending western civilisation in Ukraine.
They are instead conspicuously conforming to the same policies as the globalist puppets in other nations across the Anglosphere and elsewhere.
If only their government, under Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, had managed to bulldoze its Misinformation Bill through parliament this year, they might have been able to at least save Australian democracy by forcing us all to shut up and agree with them.
The way things are going, though, they won’t even be able to do that.
If you could gauge a government by its irony, that would be an historic and almost unmatchable achievement. Hopefully we will be celebrating this come election night in a few months.PC

Brilliant analysis, Fred. Add in commentary regarding Labor’s contortions, ignorance and ‘fence-sitting’ regarding Israel…and you perfectly summed up the futility that is Albanese’s dangerous political clown show.
Well done!
I HOPE ALL OUR FARMERS AND THE FARMERS FEDERATION OF AUSTRALIA AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN REALLY DO SOMETHING HUGE ABOUT THIS DESTRUCTION OF OUR FOOD/OUR FREEDOMS, RIGHTS AND CHOICES AND / OUR LIVES AND OUR COUNTRIES.
Let us say this as it is > Allegedly, this is absolute insanity for these ‘life destroying actions’ to be perpetrated against the global population destroying all our lives our cities and our countries. It’s absolutely staggering !
These are allegedly, the actions of the absolutely unhinged.
These all must be stopped and the people of the world to reclaim OUR countries / OUR World and All OUR Freedoms, Rights and Choices and to live in peace, freedom and happiness.

13 NATIONS SIGN AGREEMENT TO ENGINEER GLOBAL FAMINE BY DESTROYING FOOD SUPPLY
By Hunter Fielding
Global Research, June 18, 2024
News Addicts 14 June 2024
The United States has joined 12 other nations in signing a World Economic Forum (WEF) agreement that seeks to engineer global famine by destroying the agriculture industry.
According to the agreement, which was drawn up by the WEF and the United Nations (UN), food production is causing “global warming” and must be eliminated.
To “save the planet” from “climate change,” globalists insist, farms must be shut down across the world.
The WEF agreement sets targets for how much farmland each nation must eliminate in order to comply.
Under the guise of reducing “methane emissions,” thirteen nations have signed the pledge to engineer global famine by gutting agricultural production and shutting down farms.
Announced earlier this year by the WEF’s Global Methane Hub — a cabal of crisis engineers who exploit public panic to destroy the world food supply — those thirteen nations are:
Argentina
Australia
Brazil
Burkina Faso
Chile
Czech Republic
Ecuador
Germany
Panama
Peru
Spain
The United States
Uruguay.
Imagine no meat production from Australia, Brazil, and the USA.
This is the goal of the globalists.
And they admit it’s all part of the climate fraud which has been thoroughly exposed as a quack science hoax, by the way.

Former Minister Matt Kean’s Conflict of Interest Exposed!
By Senator Malcolm Roberts ONE NATION PARTY
Corruption and conflicts of interest are rife in Government. Very few are as blatant as former Minister Matt Kean, who will be chairing the agency helping to set the price of carbon credits while getting paid by an investment company that makes money out of carbon credits!
End the net-zero pipe dream and this will all go away.
Transcript
The chair of the agency that helps set the price of carbon credits is paid a government salary as the federal adviser and regulator and will simultaneously be on the payroll of a company that makes money out of carbon credits.
In June the Albanese Labor government appointed Matt Kean as the Climate Change Authority chair. Given his track record, how can Matt Kean be considered a qualified choice? As New South Wales Treasurer, his last budget tripled their deficit and put them on track for a $160 billion debt. As energy minister he left their grid facing blackouts with the proposed shutdown of Liddell and Eraring power stations.
Matt Kean’s glaring incompetence, though, pales beside his conflict of interest.
The Climate Change Authority that Kean chairs, from which he advises the government, influences the price of carbon credits. Two months after getting the job, Matt Kean accepted a second job. The Climate Change Authority mustn’t be doing too much if the chair has time to shop himself around for other part-time jobs. When the chair is chasing other careers, do we really need a Climate Change Authority? That second job is with Wollemi Capital, who will make millions from investing in carbon credits. Matt Kean is chair of the government agency that helps set the price of carbon credits while he works for a company that will make money out of carbon credits. It seems that Australia has the best politicians that money can buy.
What does the Albanese Labor government say about this blatant conflict of interest? Nothing. Silence. The government is happy to put the fox in charge of the henhouse, and Australians will continue to pay.
The government’s appointment confirms that climate fraud is all about transferring wealth from us the people to corporations and to billionaire parasites taking solar and wind subsidies while fleecing carbon dioxide credits. Only One Nation will end the wind and solar subsidies rort, ditch the net zero plans and rorts, and fire Matt Kean.
