Young, arrogant Labor leftie Senator Charlotte Walker could learn a lot about real-life experience from Senator Pauline Hanson.
Senator Charlotte Walker in 2025 before her election to the Senate, has the look of a schoolgirl environmental activist.

SOUTH Australian Labor Senator Charlotte Walker actually believes that without a net zero target, “there will be no Australian farmers, businesses or industries to support us.”

The 21-year-old dropped the statement in the Senate during the week after One Nation Senator Pauline Hanson introduced a motion to end Net Zero policy, following Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce’s private members Bill calling for the same thing.

Senator Walker’s statement is alarming on at least two counts: That increasing numbers of young Australian politicians are extremely ignorant of economic realities regarding agriculture, business and industry and secondly that they have been brainwashed in environmental extremism approaching that of the Just Stop Oil cult.

“All I can say is, are you kidding?” the 21-year-old told Senator Hanson in schoolgirlish outrage. “The motion put forward on net zero indicates a severe lack of knowledge and a complete disregard for the future of our generation, the future of our country.

“Without a net zero target, there will be no Australian farmers, businesses or industries to support us.”

Does Senator Walker actually believe that not instituting a net zero policy will somehow hurt or even destroy Australia’s major economic activities? Apparently so. Or was it just a case of political hyperbole?

There are multiple leaders in farming, business and industry who would strongly disagree with the young Senator because they are the ones paying the initial bills for the Labor Party’s cultish obsession with renewable energy and carbon credits.

Or does she actually believe that CO2 and other emissions will trigger a global ecological apocalypse and physically destroy Australia. This seems to be the belief of the Just Stop Oil cult or the likes of Greta Thunberg, and Senator Walker sounds disturbingly like her.

But we have to give the young senator credit for getting one thing right: that farmers, businesses and industries “support us”. Yes senator, they do. Congratulations for having some commonsense. But we’re well aware that certain environmentalists in your SA Labor-Green camp have difficulty believing even that.

What the wet-behind-the-ears senator and the rest of the SA Labor-Green crowd do not appear to have grasped is that in Australia, farms, business and industry run primarily on oil and coal-fired electricity. In fact that is a world-wide reality, but the ideology and policy of net zero penalises and strangles farms, business and industry simply for using natural resources.

Senator Walker and her Labor/Green senators, appear to not understand that if you take away oil and coal from the economy, it would literally collapse. Modern economies run on oil and coal. China has more than 1100 coal-fired power stations, which is why they are able to manufacture cars like Australia used to.

To force a transition from oil and coal as a gradual process is merely extending the slow death of industry. Wind, solar and batteries simply cannot run a major city and especially not heavy industry like the Portland Aluminium Smelter in Victoria, or the Bluescope Steelworks at Port Kembla, NSW or the now- endangered Mt Isa Smelter.

But the march towards the so-called transition to renewables continues, and as it does so, consumer electricity prices continue to rise – a trend set in place initially by Julia Gillard’s failed carbon tax scheme.

Now the Labor party has a nice new name for carbon tax – the Safeguard Mechanism (SM) – which mandates that Australia’s most emission-intensive facilities must reduce their carbon emissions below a specified yearly threshold, with the excess to be offset by way of purchasing and surrendering carbon credits.

The Institute for Public Affairs reports that the SM will impose a carbon tax cost of up to$1.7 billion per annum to 2030, more than the projected cost of the tariffs imposed on Australia by the United States.

But it’s not just heavy industry that is impacted by carbon taxes as one case we highlighted recently revealed: A proposed aged care facility in Denham, NSW, on a 10-acre paddock. The Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water quoted the non-profit project developers $3.5 million for “carbon credits” (taxes in effect) and ecological assessment fees.

Such “carbon costs” can of course be “covered” by enterprises joining the Australian Carbon Credit Unit Scheme and earn one ACCU for every tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (t CO₂-e) emissions their project stores or avoids. Participants can sell ACCUs on the secondary market or to the Australian Government by entering a carbon abatement contract.

So, you may wonder, what the hell does an aged care facility have to do with creating allegedly climate-changing carbon emissions? Oh, well you see 200 years ago the 10-acre site at Denham was covered by an “ancient forest” and this must be accounted for.

Senator Walker’s ignorance of everyday economic reality could be related to the fact that she went straight out of High School to work in a politician’s office. She went on to work for the Australian Services Union and was elected president of Young Labor in South Australia, and was affiliated with the Labor Left faction.

Now she’s in the Senate. Where’s her real-life experience? Senator Hanson could tell this girl a thing or two about real-life experience, like running the local fish ‘n chip shop or a real grassroots political movement.

But Senator Walker is in effect, just another Labor political animal. This outspoken young leftie will soon learn that in mainstream parties like Labor, she is nothing more than a component of the machine that tells her to jump when she’s told to. She has a lot to learn.

Meanwhile Senator Hanson’s motion sadly only gained seven votes – four One Nation Senators, United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet and Coalition Senators Matt Canavan and Alex Antic.

Senator Hanson was disgusted at the Coalition’s lack of support, their excuse being that net zero is “under review” by the party and that they did not want to upset that process.

“They’re gutless, you know, they’re cowards,” she told Sky News when asked about the prospect of Coalition senators not backing her motion.

“Because a lot of these people on the floor of parliament have no understanding, cannot debate you about climate change. They don’t even know anything about it (but) they’re making decisions and voting on it.”

She says Australians have “been hoodwinked” by net zero. “It’s a scam going on, and if we head down this path, what will happen to Australians? You will be restricted where you travel, where you go, what you eat, and it will be based on your carbon emissions.”

The News.com.au report on the debate claimed “Australia’s renewables targets do not impose restrictions on freedom of movement or diets”.

In fact the Safeguard Mechanism and related “anti-carbon” provisions indirectly impose higher costs on transport and food which in turn make them less accessible to everyday Australians. The high cost of red meat is one example.

Direct restrictions on diet and travel based on carbon emissions are also outlined in high-level environmental consultancy reports being considered by UK and EU governments under the UN’s Agenda 2030 “global development” program.

As repeatedly pointed out by Barnaby Joyce, these carbon costs are hitting the poor disproportionately, and his question for the inner city Labor-Green-Teal voters is, are they “prepared to hurt the poor” by pursuing a carbon neutral future?

Joyce’s Private Members Bill proposes to abandon Australia’s carbon-neutral target by 2050.

26 thought on “Youngest senator a sad, disturbing case of green-left economic illiteracy”
  1. Without going back before they were born, do they believe the establishment re:
    – the 9-11 story
    – the Iraq WMD story
    – the Afghanistan story
    – the bin Laden story
    – the need to shut down Australian industry
    – the house price inflation
    – the covid marketing blitz
    – forced injections
    – UN treaties for everything
    – the submarines deal
    – government bills going exponential
    – Elbow’s censorship drive

    If you were dumb enough to believe the establishment on all the above it is still not a valid excuse to believe something as dumb as 0.04% of CO2 is “boiling the earth”.

  2. Once upon a time, governments imposed tax on things you had. Now, in their avarice, they have resorted to raising tax on things that you don’t have. Net zero and carbon credits, when you boil it all down, are an example of taxing everybody for the weather. Even though they are completely ignorant about the planet and how it works, that doesn’t stop the money-grubbers from creating a non-existent atmospheric crisis to deceive the gullible into parting with their hard-earned. And where does that money go? Certainly not to ‘repairing’ the planet or to benefiting the people. All they get is Net Zero.

  3. Net Zero also applies to the population of humans upon this planet. How do you explain that to the poor child? Elon and Thiel want billions of robots, not humans, populating this planet. For the record, Deagel predicted Australia’s population in 2030 will be 15 million. That will be 3 million excess deaths each year, for the next 4 years. How many jabs did the young Senator get, or was she “exempt”?

  4. A 21 year old chick senator fulfils bible prophecy that “… Women and Children will rule you …”

  5. Would someone please tell Senator Walker that humans are composed of carbon, as if everything on our planet?
    Does she suggest we all commit suicide to save the planet?
    This child must be related to Sarah Hanson Young!

  6. Discussing FACTS with such a person will not make them more intelligent, they are ‘STUPID’. Stupidity is a CHOICE and that foolish young girl has chosen to be stupid. Here’s a short video that someone could send her, but I doubt she would be able to conceptualize it.

  7. The stupider the population gets the stupider the Poly’s they elect become.
    Is this really how moronic people are becoming???

  8. Dear Miss Charlotte Walker – YOU ALSO are totally blind to the truth and you must awaken as a matter of extreme urgency – because you and all the others who have allegedly peddled this dangerous climate change fraudulent claim will live to regret it; but tragically for all of us in the world – you will drag us all into the blackness with you >

    THIS IS ALL EVERY HUMAN BEING AND EVERY LIVING CREATURE IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW TO PUT A STOP TO THESE alleged WORLD DESTROYING, UNHINGED, FRAUDULENT CLIMATE CHANGE CLAIMING LUNATICS >

    A science teacher explains: What if there was no carbon dioxide in the air?
    As a life force behind photosynthesis, lack of this gas would create a domino effect with the food chain – no living plants and animals would mean no living humans.

    Carbon dioxide (CO2), a naturally occurring tasteless, odorless gas in our atmosphere is equally vital to life as oxygen.

    Al Gore’s Climate Change Hypocrisy Is As Big As His Energy-Sucking Mansion
    3 August, 2017
    Inconvenient Truth: In a recent interview, Al Gore claimed that he lives a “carbon free lifestyle.” The electricity bills for his home in Tennessee say otherwise.
    CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Gore to respond to charges that he’s a climate hypocrite. “This is a criticism we hear from conservatives all the time when talking about people like you or Elon Musk or Leonardo DiCaprio,” Tapper said, “that you, yourself, have a large carbon footprint.”
    A new analysis by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that Gore’s Tennessee home “guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years.”
    In one month last year, the report found, Gore’s home consumed more electricity than the average family uses in 34 months.
    A 2015 analysis by the Stockholm Environmental Institute of about 75% of the offset programs used by countries to trade CO2 credits as part of the Kyoto Protocol “are unlikely to represent additional emissions reductions.” In fact, the offset program may have resulted in an additional 600 million tons of CO2 emitted than would have occurred without them.
    As anyone who reads these pages knows, we believe most of the claims about climate change are themselves scams. So we wouldn’t be surprised if many of these climate offset deals are, too.

    Al Gore’s New $9 Million Ocean-View Villa in CA
    By Mark J. Perry – May 05, 2010
    Excerpt >
    “Former Vice President Al Gore and his wife, Tipper, have added a Montecito (CA)-area property to their real estate holdings. The couple spent $8,875,000 on an ocean-view villa on 1.5 acres with a swimming pool, spa and fountains, a real estate source familiar with the deal confirms. The Italian-style house has six fireplaces, five bedrooms and nine bathrooms(see pictures above, and view more here).”

    Doug Ross: “Don’t you love these hypocritical Climatards?
    They want to control your lives: how big your car can be, how much water your toilet can hold, the kind of light bulbs you can use. They even think there are limits on how much money you should be able to make. But they put no limits on what they can have. Kind of like the old Soviet Politburo. Which is the kind of society they intend for us.”

  12. There Will Be No Climate Catastrophe: MIT Professor Dr Richard Lindzen who is an internationally recognized American atmospheric scientist and MIT emeritus professor whose contributions to climate science are significant.
    May 29, 2025 by Hannes Sarv.
    There Will Be No Climate Catastrophe: MIT Professor Dr Richard Lindzen.
    “If you reach Net Zero by 2050, if you do it worldwide, you avoid about a third of a degree of warming. If it’s just Europe and the Anglosphere, it’s closer to a tenth of a degree,” says Dr Richard Lindzen, an atmospheric physicist and professor emeritus of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “So you have avoided a tenth of a degree of warming at a cost of probably tens of trillions of dollars. Doesn’t seem like a bargain to me,” he adds. “How far will the population go in saying, we will sacrifice ourselves for a symbolic gesture?”
    And who cares about a tenth of a degree of warming, Lindzen asks. “When somebody says the change of a tenth of a degree, or when (UN Secretary-General António – HS) Guterres says, if it changes a half-degree, we’re finished as a species, this is an existential threat – people have to ask, what the hell are they talking about?”
    According to Lindzen, all recent predictions of climate catastrophe have proven false, and future ones will be as well. “2030 will pass. 2050 will pass. Fifty years will pass. There will be no climate catastrophe,” he says.

    In the interview, Lindzen thoroughly discusses what climate scientists know about climate change and its processes, as well as the half-truths and outright lies propagated by those proclaiming a climate crisis. He addresses topics such as the limited capacity of CO2 to warm the planet, its actual role on Earth, misleading claims about the increasing frequency of extreme weather events, the absurdity of climate policies and the future of energy.

  13. The planet has had ‘only five years of survival left’ on numerous occasions since about twenty years before she was born.

  14. “There will come a day, when all the lies will collapse under their own weight, and truth will again triumph.”

  15. The longer I live the more depressed I am becoming as each day there are more and more idiots uncovering themselves. It is abundantly clear that those going to universities know nothing of the world they were born into. NOTHING!

    It therefore strikes me that all taxpayer funds going into education is totally wasted. The so called education teachers and professors must also be frauds.

    Anybody that knows anything about chemistry or physics must know that CO2 along with oxygen is imperative for ALL life, be it human, trees, animals, birds or insects even algae. They should also know that nature produces far more carbon dioxide than humans ever could.

    But then again once a LIE is told it reverberates throughout history forever.
    Remember the bullshit story of gassed Jews during World War II. The other B/S story of Covid-19 will go on forever, even though Bill Gates and many more are about to face criminal charges of murder on the World stage.

    Of course those that voted this poorly educated person into politics without knowing her background are as much to blame as she is. And of the msm is even more to blame because their editors should know a bit of reality about CO2 but to them they don’t care as long as the big dollars keep rolling in.

  16. Our world is moving up from 3D to 5D, and this stupid university product they call a senator is not going in the shift of Dimensions. She will remain in her shit world of pain, suffering, and the destruction of society and economy that she is holding in place.
    However those of us with some foresight and hope for an abundant future will rise up into a parallel reality of wonder and abundant everything, and we will still be living side by side but with a totally different experience.
    To become 5th Dimensional, you need a high personal vibration, frequency that your body mind and spirit operates at and in, and is achieved by leaving all negativety and corruption behind, and embracing positivety and goodness in function and belief.
    Faith is the platform that creates, and good over evil is the vision of the future … is the future.
    God is good.
    Satan is evil.
    Earth is currently ascending, and those who do not want to ascend, will not know it happened.

  17. Nature is responsible for 97% of added CO2 in the atmosphere, that leaves 3% for humans, of that 3% Australia is up for 1% so that’s three parts per ten thousand of the 420 parts per million which is to say virtually nothing, in fact our trees probably gobble up a lot more than that and anyway we need CO2 for plant growth so its time to shut the whole hoax down once and for all.

  18. Is this Charlotte Walker senator willingly, or intentionally being ignorant of atmospheric geoengineering, weather modification, solar radiation management, chemical buffering, cloud seeding, weather force multiplication – toxic aerial spraying aka chemtrails, etc?

  19. Is there by chance some kindly informed person reading this who is in direct contact with Charlotte Walker = then please tell her that Net Zero is nonsense & can never be achieved since every out breath from a human or animal is comprised of just over 23% CO2. This is simply a globalist lie to collapse the system& kill everyone on the planet. Ask her to speak with Alan Jones or one of our many other enlightened citizens.
    The incoming CO2 tax will tax us for our breaths & this in itself is an evil travesty.
