I am delighted to speak on this legislation. We are facing a crucial moment in our nation's history. Our country is being fundamentally transformed by powerful and nefarious interests who seek to change our way of life and the very fabric of our society, sovereignty and safety. The Government has participated in creating one crisis after another in order to push through unacceptable, dangerous solutions. It has spent the last three years lap dancing, prancing and wriggling seductively in the laps of its globalist masters. I do not say that lightly. The main Opposition parties and the Opposition on the left, while screaming and wailing on cue, are also clearly signed up to these globalists. It is nothing but theatre.

The Green Party is green on the outside but it is red on the inside and has no business ever being in government. It does more damage to the country and its environment with its ridiculous policies and its only mantra-----
