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.
- Kean's appointment of Malcolm Turnbull as a "warming warrior" is met with disbelief.
- The role gives Turnbull a platform to criticise PM Scott Morrison's sensible climate policies.
- Kean asked again to provide financial modelling of his $32b renewables pet project.
“If the appointment of Malcolm Turnbull to the chair of the NSW Net-Zero & Clean Economy Board was a surprise to [Federal Energy Minister] Angus Taylor, it would have been met with disbelief by many Liberal voters,” Mr Partington wrote in a letter published in The Daily Telegraph newspaper.
“Matt Kean forgets that former PM Turnbull took the Coalition to within one seat of political oblivion in 2016, was rejected by his Party over his climate policy in 2018 and now regularly criticises PM Scott Morrison’s stance on climate change,” he wrote.
“Instead of recycling renewables-crusader Turnbull, Minister Kean should release the modelling behind the ‘energy road map’ and substantiate his belief that renewables are the cheapest form of reliable energy – otherwise Kean’s ‘clean industrial revolution’ will become ‘net-zero manufacturing’ in NSW.
WIDESPREAD
Mr Partington resides within Matt Kean’s Upper North Shore electorate of Hornsby in Sydney.
His criticisms have been echoed across the community with former Federal Speaker Bronwyn Bishop stepping into the ring on Tuesday with a blistering assessment.
“Matt Kean is the chairman of the Left-wing ‘moderate’ faction,” Ms Bishop told Sky News anchor Paul Murray.
“The faction is pretty well named: they’re moderately intelligent, moderately able and moderately loyal,” she said.
“Turnbull, I think, is using Matt Kean to fill his head with all these ideas he comes out with – which are actually Turnbull’s ideas.
“And he will try and turn the Liberal Government in NSW into the Turnbull Government.”
BANKRUPT
Ms Bishop said she feared Mr Turnbull would become the “expert” advisor for all the crazy environmental policies the NSW Government dreamed up.
“It will be his imprimatur that will be put on decisions. He will be the one who’s forcing these energy policies which will, in fact, bankrupt the State and the people because we’ll have to have back-up power,” she said.
“Malcolm is someone who is dedicated to making life impossible for the Federal Government because that’s a personal vendetta he’s got.
“It’s got many sides to it but, I think, the essence of it is that Turnbull has been using Matt Kean as his tool.”
Ms Bishop questioned the intelligence of Mr Kean’s plan.
“If Malcolm Turnbull and Matt Kean are in the same room,” she said, “then Turnbull probably is the brightest person in the room.
“It is, I think, a much more devious plan than even the one about the need to be transparent about declaring the possibility of a conflict of interest.” PC
So many questions: What are Kean’s financial interests in renewables? What does Photios have on Kean? Why is Gladys a puppet to Kean and Photios? Why is a green ideologue allowed to destroy NSW energy security and affordability? Is NSW Govt corrupt? Why does the media protect it? How did common sense disappear? So many questions – no answers!
Gladys no longer needs Matt Kean – but she is still supporting his ridiculous stance on climate change and renewables. This reinforces the growing concern many of us have about her capacity to assess people and see through their facades. This could well be her undoing in time to come.
When I first heard about Turnbull’s appointment my first thought was “this is Turnbull’s revenge”.
Watch out! for the head of the NSW EPA “Jim Betts” a marxist along with Turnbull trying to bring down Australia and bring on the environmental-fascist “Global Reset”. Keep the heat on Matt Kean and an eye on environmental crusaders in the NSW EPA.
Kean is the archetypal evil woke schemer with his snout almost certainly in the renewables trough that is a useful idiot to the puppet masters like Photios. These high priests of the left Marxist religion wokeism that manipulates language hiding its evil agenda behind platitudes likes diversity, inclusion, equity, and tolerance whilst in practice doing exactly the opposite need to be called out by everyone with a pulse. These evil mongrels have infested our schools, unis, corporations and now governments with their toxic secular Marxist ideology. Gladys is either a hostage to the left or just plain thick as a brick – which is it?
“Gladys is either a hostage to the left or just plain thick as a brick – which is it?”
The answer is “C. Both of the above”.
Kean should go but as he is a supporter of Gladys he won’t…a pity for the party!
Disappointing to read letters in today’s Daily Telegraph saying members are resigning from the Liberal party. This is sad, because I believe the only way to effect policy change is by staying actively involved and by contributing to debate. The motivation should always be to retaining a centre-right Coalition government.
“Disappointing to read letters in today’s Daily Telegraph saying members are resigning from the Liberal party.”
Something else that was very disappointing to learn was that many passengers abandoned “Titanic” after it hit the iceberg. If only these fools had realised that they could have scored a free tour of the ocean’s dark depths if they’d stayed put…
P.S.
“[…] contributing to debate.”
Do you honestly think that Matt Kean and those of his ilk are interested in debate?
“The motivation should always be to retaining a centre-right Coalition government.”
Sad to say, that horse has long since bolted…
Unfortunately with this outcome I doubt they will be in power at the next election!
I’m starting to think this whole global warming thingy is no more than a money making scam for corrupt politicians.
Let’s get it correct! A money making scheme for both Alex and Malcolm and the Premier State Lobbying company and the associated companies.
Re Kean, Have we ever seen a Politician use public money to purchase one of the most expensive cars in the market place for his personal use; one which perhaps he could not afford out of his own pocket given the size of his mortgage. Expensive toy for a money waster! When will he grow up????
