Unshackling the greens legacy

By Stuart Ballantyne - posted Tuesday, 20 May 2025


The following brown-outs in the state and hugely escalating electricity prices, proved that South Australia should have actually thought the matter through, but the Greens were jubilant at "their victories". The population growth of SA has lagged behind other states, due to its green focus on burgeoning bureaucracies and obstruction to existing and potential investors in the State.

Up in Queensland the 2015 election saw the ALP with Greens preferences ensuring a victory. Within 6 weeks of being elected, Premier Palaszuck introduced the "Sustainable Ports Act". This 630 page document ensured that no other port facility, not even tiny load-out ramp facilities in Queensland's 7,000 kilometres of coastline, would be permitted in the State, ensuring the 10 ports owned by the State government would remain competition free and with exorbitant charges, well above national averages.

Interesting that David Crisafulli in his first seven months as Premier, despite being encouraged by experienced maritime advocates to repeal this Sustainable Ports Act and allow Far North Queensland to flourish, has not done so. Limp LNP leadership indeed, in keeping with the pathetically poor performance standard of Morrison, Turnbull and Dutton. Where are you Pauline? Malcolm? Bob? Robbie?

Emboldened by the election of the incredibly weak Albanese Labor government three years ago, the Greens increased the volume, venom and veracity of their rhetoric, blatantly exposing their real agenda of anti-Australian, anti mining, anti Christian, anti-Jew and pro-Palestinian policies. Their "saving the environment" mask was finally cast aside for all the nation to see.

Thanks to excellent lobbying by groups such as Advance, highlighting the Real Truth about the Greens, most Australians have finally woken up to their crippling effect on the country.

Thank you Advance!

But now we urgently have to find a Braveheart of bold leadership that will repeal at least 75% of the EPA / EDO / green madness that has our nation financially weak, dispirited and unable to defend itself, lying like a regional comatose wealthy drunk, for all the neighbours to see, and for some to hatch their plots against us.
