Why Albanese is worse than Morrison

By Stephen Saunders - posted Friday, 1 September 2023


UN narratives drive Albanese's policies.

How did the UN ducks line up for Albanese?

While corporates neutered the 1960s-1990s environmental push, UN stitched up the population side. As early as 1994 they betrayed family planning in the global south.

Individual nations still reduce population growth, no thanks to UN. Camouflaging global population trends, hyping a distant Net Zero, UN policies suit Australian corporates.

Australia's 1990s were the peak of government and science on the driest continent's carrying capacity. Biogeographically, Tim Flannery wrote for Australian Academy of Science (AAS), our desirable maximum population was "20-30 million".

Greens soon dropped the racist population issue, and Flannery and AAS pivoted to climate advocacy. That trickle is now a stampede.

In the last five years our scientific herd has swarmed the Net Zero gangplank. Add Climate Change to that Grant Application and it looks better already.

Instead of invigilating Albanese's dodgy Safeguard Mechanism, 43% emissions reduction, and Net Zero Authority, scientists condone his propaganda.

Other stakeholders would rarely challenge his essentially UN derivativepopulation and environment policies. When Senator Kristina Keneally wobbled, she was shamed and excluded. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton faces similar risks.

One CEO, Matt Barrie, did bucket Open Borders. Mega-billion CEOs Twiggy Forrest and Mike Cannon-Brookes prefer Albanese's pose- that is, be a fake Net Zero hero.

UN Albanese is worse than Morrison.

Behold, Albanese's cautious pragmatism, steady tiller and cabinet governance, is saving us from Morrison's Trump type menace.
