A BUREAUCRAT in charge of “climate change” policy has replaced the permanent representatives of ASIO and ASIS on the Albanese government’s so-called National Security Committee because the intelligence chiefs are perceived as “anti-China”.
Canberra insiders told Cairns News this week the move is payback against ASIO and ASIS for exposing “a former Prime Minister” involved in spying for China. That Prime Minister is almost certainly Kevin Rudd, who like Fabian socialist Bob Hawke and their comrades worldwide, have long held soft spots for the Chinese Communist Party.
Climate Change Department Secretary David Fredericks is now the new regular attendee to the National Security Committee of Cabinet, instead of our two top intelligence chiefs Mike Burgess of ASIO and Kerri Hartland of ASIS. The appointment brings to two, the number of official climate policy pushers on this committee, the other being Climate and Energy Destruction Minister Chris Bowen.
“Climate policy” is basically code language for globalist destruction of western economies, and most crucially, their energy sectors. China has “climate policy” too, but they have more than 1140 coal-fired power stations so they can manufacture cars, wind towers and solar panels to sell back to their stupid western socialist comrades like Albanese, Biden and Trudeau.
When Victorian Liberal Senator James Paterson asked Foreign Minister Senator Penny Wong to confirm reports that the government has removed the directors-general of ASIO and ASIS as regular attendees at the National Security Committee of Cabinet and that they are now only invited on a case-by-case basis, Wong went into full avoidance mode, playing the “national security” card.
“Thank you to Senator Paterson for his question. Senator Paterson would know—and I’m sure he knew this when he stood to ask the question—that we do not disclose the workings of the National Security Committee of Cabinet,” Wong told the Senate.
“What I would say to him is that directors-general of both of those organisations are fine officers and their advice is sought and considered very carefully by government, including by me. I’m aware that there have been some, outside of this place, who have chosen to be critical of some members of our intelligence community,” said Wong, in a masterful act of projection.
“As a minister who has the opportunity to engage with, rely on and consider their advice, I would say that they are highly professional, excellent officers and we are very pleased that they work with us as well as they do,” she continued, lying through her teeth.
Senator Paterson has previously called the Chinese Communist Party the biggest threat to Australia’s national security. In 2022 he warned: “Over the past five years, we have suffered record levels of foreign interference and espionage and the Chinese government is the primary culprit of that.”
According to Sky News, intelligence community insiders are speculating about the future of ASIO chief Mike Burgess and the Office of National Intelligence Director-General Andrew Shearer with talk of their appointments not being renewed when their terms are up later this year for Mr Burgess and early next year for Mr Shearer.
Wong, coincidentally, this week met with China’s foreign minister for the seventh Australia-China Foreign and Strategic Dialogue, in other words, a gigantic suck-up to the CCP to repair damaged relations caused by Australia waking up to China’s colonisation operations in Australia in recent years.
“Our relationship with China is important, and it is consequential,” Wong said earlier in the day in response to a Dorothey Dixer from her Victorian comrade Senator Raff Ciccone. “A stable relationship between us doesn’t just happen; it needs ongoing work to advance our interests and to manage our differences. I was pleased to welcome Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Australia, the most senior visitor from China since 2017.”
Wong went on: “We agreed to continue our constructive engagements on a range of issues, including education, defence and trade, and to expand climate and energy cooperation. I welcomed the progress of the removal of trade impediments and reiterated our desire for the removal of remaining impediments.”
Translation: “Your colonisation of Australia can continue, and yes, we will keep the US imperialist running dogs at ASIO and ASIS at arm’s length.”
Wong claimed that she “reiterated Australia’s shock” at the sentencing of Dr Yang Jun and a range of other concerns, including the human rights of Uighurs, Tibetans and other minorities across China.” No doubt Comrade Wang Yi was shaking in his boots.
“I also expressed our deep concerns that Hong Kong’s new legislation will further erode rights and freedoms, with potential impacts on individuals in Australia. Australians expect their government to pursue a mature and productive relationship in both countries’ interests, and the Prime Minister looks forward to welcoming … (time expired)”
Bowen and the Labor Government declined to respond to questions from Sky News about how often and why Mr Fredericks attends the National Security Committee of Cabinet. A spokesman for the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet said it does not comment on national security matters. How convenient.
Australians need to prepare for a resumption of arrogant CCP-owned “business” people, “researchers” and “cultural ambassadors” flooding into Australia, buying up property and business and spreading their propaganda in the institutions, especially education.
All the while Albanese, Wong and their cohorts in the state Labor parties will be clapping them in unison, like the robotic CCP representatives at one of their annual party congresses.
