QUEENSLAND Environment Minister Andrew Powell has sold out his constituents to the green global wealth redistribution program, otherwise known as “climate action”.
Powell, in a cowardly and spineless display of political whoredom, has “walked back” his previous doubts on climate change to tell a smug ABC interviewer that he indeed does believe “what the literature all says and you can’t refute that”.
That it is epitome of ignorance. The so-called “literature” can and is refuted by a considerable number of scientists and economists worldwide.
The science on climate change is not settled, but UN-WEF driven politics of global energy and population control would like us to believe the matter is settled.
The ABC had taken particular note of Powell’s comments back in 2012, in which he expressed doubts about the extent of human activity in contributing to climate change.
But for some strange reason, Powell has had a major change of heart. Was it the threat of funds being cut off by global environmental NGOs? Or was it one of the entrenched super bureaucrats within the Queensland Environment Department who ordered Powell to take a more “politically palatable” position.
Whatever the reason, Powell showed his colours as a spineless political puppet totally lacking in convictions.
Queenslanders who were hoping for the state to take a pro-business path with sensible use of forest resources and an end to wasteful and expensive environmental regulations, for instance, may be gravely disappointed. Powell has effectively said “we’re with the global program”.
Labor politicians in Canberra have already seized upon this “embarrassing walkback” while attacking attempts by Barnaby Joyce and Matt Canavan to end the net zero economic strangulation of Australia and the renewable energy business scam that guarantees profits for multinational investors and union-controlled superannuation funds.
The Albanese government relies on the climate change narrative to justify it’s disastrous roll out of wind and solar farm projects that are widely despised by rural Australians.
