FEDERAL lawmaker Zali Steggall has been accused of socialising in public without a mask during one of the harshest lockdowns ever imposed on Australian citizens.
With Sydney in its second consecutive month of a military-enforced curfew, an unmasked Ms Steggall was seen out and about on Manly Beach chatting with sporting identity Layne Beachley.
- Latest incident continues a shocking run for Ms Steggall, whose agenda has unravelled.
- Her latest private bills were so radical they couldn’t be supported by anyone.
- Ms Steggall doesn't appear to understand basic Westminster principles.
According to Sky News anchor Paul Murray the novice Warringah MP was photographed this week seemingly in breach of lockdown laws.
“She was clearly not exercising, clearly not wearing a mask and clearly not with members of the same household,” Mr Murray said.
BELEAGUERED
Sydneysiders have been told they are only permitted outside to shop for essentials or for exercise.
Browsing or social engagements while doing so have resulted in significant fines imposed on the city’s beleaguered citizens.
This latest incident continues a shocking run of political disasters for Ms Steggall whose “climate emergency” agenda has completely unravelled.
Just last month Ms Steggall – who is advised by climate activist Tim “it will never rain again” Flannery – learned that every single one of her private climate bills had been rejected – many before reaching a vote on the floor.
Her latest proposed bills were so radical they couldn’t be supported by any Party and were unanimously rejected in committee.
With a seemingly poor understanding of the Westminster system, Ms Steggall proposed legislation that would see government ministers accountable to public servants on climate issues.
Her bills, designed to hand control of the nation’s energy policy to unelected government bureaucrats – while locking Australians into Paris climate targets – were rejected even before they could reach a house vote.
Ms Steggall was even accused of refusing to take advice while pushing an agenda so extreme it could never be supported – by anyone.
CONTRARY
“As well-meaning as the bill may have been, it shifted responsibility from elected parliamentary representatives to unelected bureaucrats,” Environment & Energy Committee Chair Ted O’Brien said.
“This is contrary to our system of government and ultimately played a large role in the committee’s deliberations leading to its decision to suggest the bills not be passed.”
The bills would have enshrined in law the Paris climate targets and established a Climate Change Commission to force elected ministers to meet its goals.
Ms Steggall’s key proposal was designed to legally “strip the Australian people of the right to preference” climate policy at an election.
Earlier in the year Ms Steggall further endeared herself to fringe radicals by referring to January 26 as a day of sorrow.
She called for Australians not to celebrate Australia Day but instead mark it with a minute’s silence – a sign of remembering a tragedy.
“The reality is, to become the nation that we are today, a price has been paid. We have lost a lot of the cultural heritage and Indigenous Australians have paid a high price,” she told Sky News in January.
Ms Steggall’s troubles began to snowball as early as March 2020 when her No.1 political cheer squad, The Manly Daily newspaper, closed its print edition.
EXTREMIST
She was forced to turn, instead, to social media to push her unfiltered message directly to voters. A quick glance at her social media accounts, however, drew attention to her unimpressively narrow and extremist agenda.
It also highlighted that the vast majority of her social media followers appeared to be fake – or purchased.
Huge chunks of her so-called “followers” had never posted a single message, never “liked” anything she had posted and didn’t even have “friends” of their own. Not one.
By late 2020, only about 0.007 to 0.013 per cent of these “followers” were responding to Ms Steggall’s social media climate posts.PC
Further, the report says Steggall was chatting with Layne Beachley. They would be good mates because Beachley used her surfing and sportswoman status to criticize Tony Abbott’s considered thoughts on climate change. This is the same Layne Beachley who doesn’t acknowledge, or is totally ignorant of, the fact that every time she jumps on a surfboard, ie. probably nearly every day for the last 30 (?) years, she is using a piece of equipment solely made of fibreglass, carbon fibre, high tech resins, and high tech plastic or polyurethane foam. All of the latter derivatives of both oil and very high tech manufacturing techniques. ie. With massive carbon and emission footprints.
Beachley is as hypocritical as Steggall. QED.
COVID19, started out as a virus and then mutated into an IQ test.
I suspect she won’t be elected at the next election but she is trying to do more damage whilst she can unfortunately for her none of her draft bills are being supported!
Maybe she should have run around Parliament House shouting about her draft bills –
GetUp, GetUp, GetUp
With regard to Steggall’s non-mask wearing story, what else would you expect from the Independent Hypocrite for Warringah ?
@ Morrie
Hey Moorie!
Again, you just reinforcing everything I’ve said about you!
I can only repeat, once again…
”You hacks on the far-right are just too stupid to realise you’re too stupid.”
Like that old fable about the frog and the scorpion, you just cannot help yourself.
And seeing that you love to quote my words back at me, even though they are out-of-context, here is a few for you, in their entirety, and in context.
”True to form, the far-right, such as yourself, are just too stupid to realise you’re too stupid.
Put bluntly, you’re just proving my argument, and reinforcing what I have said earlier…
And yet, you’re totally oblivious of that fact.
No wonder, there are no intellectual speakers/writers on the far right.
You just don’t have the intellectual rigor to mount even a high school level debate.”
And once again, here is one of your best idiotic and gormless rebuttals.
“…I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier: keep your own counsel until you have something worthwhile to contribute.”
??????????
The use of an emoticon can be excused under certain circumstances, but multiple use suggests a weakness of communication skills.
If you’re so concerned about ”communication skills,” why haven’t you had a crack at Morrie?
God knows, there’s plenty for you to work at…
??
“[…] there’s plenty for you to work at”
Not content with telegraphing your rank ignorance by starting sentences with conjunctions, you now confirm it by ending them with prepositions.
You didn’t answer my earlier question, so I’ll ask again: do you consider yourself to be an “intellectual writer”?
“Morrie,” whoever you are.
You have nothing better to do, than try and find fault, minor fault, with my grammar.
And all the while, not actually criticizing anything I’ve said.
So what does that say about your ability to rebutt everything or anything I say?
Or should I say inability?
Go ahead, and continue…
Because you will just continually prove my previous points!
”You didn’t answer my earlier question, so I’ll ask again: do you consider yourself to be an “intellectual writer”?”
No, and do you know why?
“You have nothing better to do, than try and find fault, minor fault, with my grammar.”
So your rank ignorance is a “minor fault”? I suppose you think that the fact that you are so ill-educated doesn’t detract from your credibility, is that right?
“So what does that say about your ability to rebutt [sic] everything or anything I say?”
So now you’re on a new tack: misspelling. I really shouldn’t be surprised that you don’t know how to spell such a difficult word as “rebut”, should I?
“No [I don’t consider myself to be an ‘intellectual writer’], and do you know why?
Indeed I do: it’s because you are neither writer nor intellectual, and it’s quite clear that you will never be either of those things.
Socialists are uniformly dull, and Zali is as thick as a brick, but you win the gold medal for stupidity hands-down.
“And seeing […]”
“And yet […]”
“And once again […]”
The word “and” is a conjunction. Perhaps you should consult a dictionary to find out what that means.
“No wonder, there are no intellectual speakers/writers on the far right.”
So tell us, do you consider *yourself* to be an “intellectual writer”? Do you consider Zali to be an “intellectual”?
”You hacks on the far-right are just too stupid to realise you’re too stupid.”
I assume that you’ve never heard of the Dunning Kruger effect. If you’d care to see a classic example, you need look no further than the nearest mirror.
”I assume that you’ve never heard of the Dunning Kruger effect.”
Ha ha Ha ha…
Pot-kettle.
Again, thank you for confirming everything I’ve said.
«…I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier: keep your own counsel until you have something worthwhile to contribute.”
??????????
”So now you’re on a new tack: misspelling. I really shouldn’t be surprised that you don’t know how to spell such a difficult word as “rebut”, should I?”
???????
That was deliberate you stupid fool!
Don’t you get it???
Haha Ha ha Ha ha ha
”You didn’t answer my earlier question, so I’ll ask again: do you consider yourself to be an “intellectual writer”?”
I’m still waiting for you to work out why I haven’t answered…???
Yesterday her contribution to the Covid situation was “inferrence”. Apparently the Govt. (which one wasn’t mentioned) is potentially inferring that Covid positive people are to blame for their own condition (which would hurt their feelings). She doesn’t inspire confidence (rather dull).
Zali has no agenda at all and was voted in by GetUp’s raging hippies and the Sisterhood who just wanted a gal pal in there. She is a do nothing, know nothing who makes videos of trees shedding leaves (like they do in Autumn every year) and says it is the end of the world and it is all due to climate change. Her office is in Mosman (Richie Rich) and that speaks volumes about her. But the fact she was out and about without a mask and doing what we as people are suppose to do? I actually support her on this. Maybe she should champion Ivermectin as the solution to the scam-demic and actually do something for the people.
Oh well, at least Zali defeated ten-pound Tony.
She removed his embarrassing monarchist grovelling from the public office.
She made him pay for his idiotic decision to bring back medieval titles, and then knight a foreign royal.
She deserves our thanks.
“Oh well, at least Zali defeated ten-pound Tony.”
Zali has a dull and uncomprehending mien; a vacuous and empty-eyed expression that is truly worthy of the label “bovine”. Her fecklessness, rank ignorance, and studied indifference (if not strong aversion) to reproof, correction and learning come as no surprise at all – they are all clearly evident in her face, and are plain to the careful observer before she utters a single word. Therefore, I’m not surprised in the least that you should be genuflecting before her with such alacrity; that you should be so swift to make obeisance to your idol – after all, she epitomises all that is defective in your own character, and thus acts as a mirror before which you may preen.
The great irony, of course, is that you castigate Tony for his “monarchist grovelling”, but, in the very same breath, you make it abundantly clear how pleased how are to be able to bow and scrape before your very own “Queen Zali”. So we see that it is you, in fact, who is servile and fawning, and that you are merely projecting your own pathetic obsequiousness and strong desire to submit to a woman onto Tony (you left-wingers always make for fascinating psychological case studies, so at least you’re not entirely without use).
Last time I checked, Zali Steggall is an Australia citizen, does not have allegiances to multiple foreign countries, was elected her position, and is accountable to her constituents.
She aint no queen.
”Zali has a dull and uncomprehending mien; a vacuous and empty-eyed expression that is truly worthy of the label “bovine”.

So “Morrie,” you’re an expert in facial recognition?
Seriously, you’re a gutless clown, who constantly attacks other people, and not the topic under discussion.
And that quote, could easily describe yourself.
But of course, hypocrisy is the stock-in-trade of the far-right.
”Morrie,”whoever you are, why don’t you have the balls to use your own name?
Your carefully crafted sophistry is not fooling anybody.
You’re nothing but a superficial and unintelligible hack of the far-right, writ large.
You are both feckless, and gormless.
“So ‘Morrie,’ you’re an expert in facial recognition?”
Do you have any reason to think that I’m not? Perhaps you’d like to share your deep insights into my gifts and abilities, and your reasoning behind said insights.
“Seriously, you’re a gutless clown, who constantly attacks other people, and not the topic under discussion.”
If people don’t like being told home truths, then they should should stop conducting themselves as morons in public. (For Zali and yourself, et al, this means: stay at home, cut off the Internet connection, and keep the blinds closed). In any case, no one here is “discussing” anything with you; they are merely tolerating your presence.
“Your carefully crafted sophistry is not fooling anybody.”
You are simply jealous that you and your neurally-challenged left-wing mates can’t write anything that’s worth a cracker, and of course you’re angry and very confused by articulate conservatives, since intellectual excellence, is, in your tiny little mind, supposed to be the sole preserve of those on the left of the political spectrum.
“You’re nothing but [an] unintelligible hack […]”
You have stated that my writing is “carefully crafted” – if it is indeed “carefully crafted”, then how can it also be “unintelligible”? Or is the real problem here RX rather than TX?
“‘Morrie,’whoever you are, why don’t you have the balls to use your own name?”
What makes you think that I’m not using my own name?
As I have said, those of left-wing bent make for fascinating psychological studies, and you are clearly no exception. We see in your comment an outpouring of incoherent anger and confusion arising from cognitive dissonance, some classic projection (in accusing the so-called “far-right” of hypocrisy), and, arising from the foregoing, a welter of rabid recriminations and wild accusations based on nothing more than flimsily-constructed arguments, poorly-expressed reasoning, and, above all, ill-founded assumptions and wishful thinking.
It’s really interesting and more than a little amusing to watch you flailing about in such a petulant and ineffectual manner. Please let me know if you are going to continue commenting here, because if you are I’ll need to start ordering popcorn in bulk.
P.S. The words “and” and “but” are conjunctions; ergo, one should not start sentences with them (unless, of course, one has one’s heart set on being seen as an ill-educated dolt).
“You have stated that my writing is “carefully crafted.”
Huh??? ?
Now you are attributing quotes to me, which I’ve never mentioned or stated.
However, what I have said in the past, is that you just rant and rave incoherently.
And like I have stated before, you are just proving my point, in regards to what I’ve said earlier about your character and style.
Typical of those on the far-right, such as yourself, you love to confuse, obfuscate and generally take the discussion off topic, because as I stated earlier, you are both gormless and feckless, and you cannot stick to the topic under discussion.
Here’s something Morrie, you can quote back at me ad nauseam, if you wish.
”You hacks on the far-right are just too stupid to realise you’re too stupid.”
If you still don’t understand, it means you’re just reinforcing everything I’ve said about you and your misanthropic ideology… and your innate ability to just reinforce all my points.
“…I’ll repeat what I wrote earlier: keep your own counsel until you have something worthwhile to contribute.”
??????
“Now you are attributing quotes to me, which I’ve never mentioned or stated.”
Actually, if you look at your earlier post you will see that you wrote, inter alia:
“Your carefully crafted sophistry is not fooling anybody.”
Apparently you have a short attention span and a poor memory, and you are so slipshod when attempting to mount an argument that you can’t even maintain a consistent story across the span of consecutive comments.
“[…] those on the far-right […] cannot stick to the topic under discussion.”
I’m not “discussing” this topic or any other topic with you, because I’m not interested in wasting my time with those who have neither the capacity nor the inclination to understand or acknowledge their manifold egregious errors or the rank stupidity of the positions they adopt. You seem to be really struggling with the concept that someone could be studiously ignoring you because you are simply not erudite enough to qualify as a worthy opponent; perhaps your parents puffed up your ego when you were young by telling you that you were in some way important.
“[…] you just rant and rave incoherently.”
Says the man who is so ignorant that he continues to use conjunctions to start sentences, even when it’s been pointed out to him that by so doing he presents as an ill-educated dolt. Perhaps you are like Zali, and you have a pathological inability to accept correction, or maybe it’s the case that you’ll never be able to write well because you are simply not particularly bright. You should keep your chin up though, because everyone is given at least one gift in this life, and perhaps one day you’ll be able to figure out what yours is.
She deserves to be ousted at the soonest possible time. What a waste, what a ridiculous turn of events to have someone of her low caliber replace a great Australian like Tony Abbott.
Removing a great Australian for a vacuous green ideologue seems no cause for celebration…unless you are a vacuous green ideologue…oh, I see!
She should be told to GetUp and go home.
Here here!
