COAL FIRED POWER STATIONS ONE OF THE COALITIONS BIGGEST LIES
|
|
By Senator Pauline Hanson
The Liberal National Government has almost a decade of shameful broken promises in relation to our use of Australia’s world’s-best coal and coal-fired power for the Australian people.
The Liberal National Coalition have made sweeping promises about expanding our coal industry, opening new power stations and using one of our most valuable resources for the benefit of the Australian people.
In 2015 Tony Abbott described coal as “The foundation of our prosperity” and said “Coal is good for humanity. Coal is good for prosperity. Coal is an essential part of our economic future”. Two years later in 2017 – only four years ago – Scott Morrison sat in Parliament fondling a piece of coal while telling us “This is coal, don’t be afraid”.
Their total inaction in spite of their sweeping statements and cheap stunts is proof that the Liberal National Coalition has abandoned the coal-fired power industry and bowed to international interests and activist pressure at the expense of our sovereign interest.
Their sweeping rhetoric and promises have died in the dust of coal-fired power stations being closed and the development of bigger risks to our energy supply as evidenced by the catastrophic explosion at the Callide Power Station.
This week has seen millions of Queenslanders impacted including hospitals forced to rely on generators to run critical, life-saving equipment, shopping centres in darkness, traffic thrown into chaos, homes without power, workplaces shut down and jobs put at risk
The failure to deliver coal-fired power stations has been one of the biggest lies of the Liberal National government.
Queensland, which delivered the last Federal election to the Liberal National Government has the largest number of jobs in coal of any state – but when since the Liberal Nationals came to power in Canberra in 2013 have we seen the commissioning of a new coal-fired power station to guarantee our energy supply?
The Liberal National politicians say they’re supporters of coal-fired power but that’s far as their shallow political courage takes them – empty words.
In the current climate, the Federal Government should be taking all steps necessary including the imposition of national security priorities to ensure we are fully supplied with reliable and sufficient power to overcome any challenge.

NSW LABOR IN CHAOS AFTER ONE NATION’S STRONG UPPER HUNTER RESULT
|
|
|
The Pollsters got it wrong again!
One Nation has returned a strong result over the weekend in the Upper Hunter by-election, putting a spotlight on the lack of funding given to regional seats in NSW, and the threat to mining jobs.
In a competitive and crowded field, One Nation’s Dale Macnamara finished a strong 3rd with 12.3%, significantly outperforming polls and shocking many in the out-of-touch political establishment.
This result is made even more impressive by the fact that One Nation had not contested recent elections in the seat while other parties had all suffered a serious drop in support.
Although the Nationals managed to hold the seat they suffered a -3% drop in support, Labor suffered a -7.5% drop in support and the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers suffered a -10.1% drop in support.
This represents a diabolical result for the Labor party who many had predicted stood a good chance of winning the seat and as a result of voters turning their back on Labor in favour of One Nation NSW Labor leader Jodi Macky has stepped down as leader.
Comments from One Nation’s NSW leader Mark Latham provided some excellent insight into why this result has thrown Labor into such turmoil.
“In the coal mining town of Singleton, the heartland of the seat of the Upper Hunter, Labor recorded a 15% swing against it while One Nation surged ahead gaining 20% of the vote,” Mr Lathan said.
“It is clear that the coal workers of the Upper Hunter believe that NSW Labor has abandoned them to pursue wacky left-wing fringe issues such as political correctness, gender fluidity and identity politics instead of focusing on job security and job creation.”
What’s clear is that One Nation's commitment to supporting primary producers and growing mining and manufacturing jobs is resonating with Aussies.
So major parties beware, One Nation will continue to push back on the climate alarmism and elitist politically correct politics that has infected their ranks and strive to give the neglected silent majority a real voice.
