The fake left is up to the usual today:
The Australian Greens leader, Adam Bandt, has called on people to join disruptive climate protests to pressure the Albanese government to stop opening new fossil fuel mines, saying he plans to help blockade the country’s largest coal port.
He has also written to the leaders of 16 Pacific Island nations suggesting they should make any support for an Australia bid to host a UN climate summit conditional on the government “taking stronger climate action”.
Speaking to climate activists in Melbourne on Wednesday night, Bandt said Labor was “hellbent on opening more coal and gas mines”.
He said more people needed to “get in behind” groups that engaged in nonviolent civil disobedience, naming Disrupt Burrup Hub, Rising Tide and Extinction Rebellion.
I am a natural candidate for Bandt’s exhortation to action. My entire career has been dedicated to raising awareness of climate change. Adam Bandt was still in nappies when I started.
But I’m not following him until The Greens drop their immigration class war and become a real environmental party.
The Greens demand for ever higher immigration is immensely environmentally and living standards destructive. Building cities is one quarter of Australia’s carbon output, not to mention huge habitat and species loss as we turn Australian cities into a Bladerunner set.
Moreover, what is the point of worrying about the planet for the future of youth when The Greens are making them homeless and impoverished now?
So they can enjoy better weather as they live in the gutter and eat garbage? To wit, from the same fake left newspaper:
The lack of available social and affordable housing coupled with inaccessible and unaffordable private rentals meant that most people who entered crisis accommodation had no meaningful pathways out.
Demand for emergency housing was also vastly outstripping supply, which meant services were resorting to acquiring unsuitable and often unsafe short-term accommodation, such as in rooming houses, hostels, motels and caravan parks.
“The whole housing system is in crisis and that feeds the crisis in the homelessness service system,” the report’s lead researcher, Deb Batterham, said.
It’s time for civil disobedience against Adam Bandt’s fake greens.
