AUSTRALIA’S new Alp/green/ Teal government has a zero emissions plan, putting them on track to be world leader of the Green Lemmings.
John Kerry in the US was a strong contender to win the Green Lemming race. But he was given a stiff handicap by UN organisers because America has access to coal, oil, gas, hydro and nuclear power, plus cross-border pipelines and power lines. Biden is trying to close these loopholes.
Eight nations have withdrawn from the Green Lemming Games. Russia has joined China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Iran and Turkey in forming a powerful new G8. This hard-headed group ignores the net-zero dogma unless that suits its business plan. The G8 members have diverse, reliable energy supplies – oil, coal, gas, hydro and nuclear. They use wind/solar for virtue-signalling or to earn billions making and selling millions of green toys to Net Zero Lemmings.
Europeans were disqualified in the Great Green Race – they were caught cheating. They pretend to run on intermittent energy from windmills and sunbeams but whenever these fail they quickly fill the power shortfall with reliable energy from French nuclear, Scandinavian hydro, Polish and German coal, Iceland geothermal, North Sea natural gas and (sometimes) Russian gas, oil and coal.
Australia has ageing coal plants (marked for demolition), wildly unstable supplies of disruptive and intermittent green electricity, oodles of gas (but unwelcome in local markets), and abundant uranium for export (but none for local nuclear power). Australia is also a remote island with no extension cords to neighbours with reliable energy. They are a clear favourite in the big green race.
Sometime soon, at dinner time on a cold still night, the Aussie winners of the Great Green Lemming Race will be acclaimed by widespread blackouts and a failing economy.

THE national leader of the Greens Party, Adam Bandt, is a much bigger danger to our Australian way of life than the global warming he harps on about.
Bandt was a student activist and union leader, he enjoyed a middleclass white upbringing in Australia and he continues to enjoy the fruits of the Australian lifestyle thanks to his government taxpayer-funded salary and benefits.
Yet he has the temerity to remove the Australian flag from all of his media conferences from Parliament House in Canberra. Bandt said he removed our flag as it caused lingering pain for the indigenous people.
The Australian flag means a great deal to all Australians, including the hundreds of thousands of service men and women, including indigenous people, that fought and died in world wars to protect our Australian freedom.
It is un-australian and a massive insult to all of us that Bandt and the Greens continue this virtue signalling political nonsense. Even our respected Aboriginal leaders have come out publicly and heavily criticised Bandt saying he does not speak for their community, and he has done nothing for indigenous rights. Shame on you Greens.
