SENATOR Malcolm Roberts has slammed the federal Labor government’s latest environment Bill that claims to be “streamlining” environmental regulations so houses can be built more quickly.
The Bill in fact introduces more stringent controls on land clearing that Senator Roberts says will actually increase bushfire risk, hike up food prices, and destroy rural communities.
“These bills are a complete betrayal of Queensland, Australia and our democratic process,” the Senator said, referring to the Environment Protection Reform Bill 2025 (EPR Bill) and Six Related Bills, that have reached the Senate.
“The establishment parties are so terrified of One Nation, the only real opposition, that they’ve resorted to shuffling the speakers list to bury our voices.
“This is nothing more than another dirty, backroom deal between Labor and the Greens, who are prioritising TikTok-ready virtue signalling over the needs of everyday Australians. Shockingly, this environment bill doesn’t even define what the environment is.
“This government wants to build homes while simultaneously destroying the timber and coal industries. How do they expect to build without wood or steel?
“One Nation says no. We will repeal this nonsense and replace it with honest stewardship based on data and outcomes, not feelings.”
Labor’s so-called reforms will reduce assessment and approval time frames by 20-days, cutting the current 70-day statutory period under the existing green tape baloney that demands “assessment and referral information” and “assessment of primary documentation” to 50-days or less. This will supposedly result in “faster assessments and reduced opportunity costs (i.e., delays) across the broader economy”.
All Albanese has done is tell his green bureaucrats at the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water to shave a mere three weeks of the approval process for projects that still must comply with a raft of rules, many of which have nothing to do with protecting the environment.
The name alone of the DCEEW tells us that it’s all about bringing all resources and energy under the control of the Canberra bureaucracy under the guise of fighting “climate change”. It would be a joke if it wasn’t such a drain on the wealth of Australians.
Environmentalism is so entrenched in Australian culture that banks have refused to lend money to for so-called fossil fuel projects.
Senator Matt Canavan said he was approached in 2018 by Queensland businessman with plans to build a diesel refinery in Gladstone. When seeking finance, he told me Australian banks would not even let him open a bank account because he was involved in fossil fuels.
“The reality of this net zero agenda is that the global ambition come before everything else, even our own fuel and national security.
“But the banks now have a chance to rectify their past mistakes. The Queensland businessman has resurrected the project. Let’s see if they will dump their net zero obsession and finally put our country first.”
Sometimes, inadvertently, a photo captures the zeitgeist of the future, as in photo above. In a time of energy rationing, who needs a home, with roof, doors or windows? In 2026, that’s just being indulgent and wasting energy.
Silver lining:
Lucky for our Asia partners, Aus has more than enough energy to be self-sufficient. So, UnaParty exports 95% for nix. Excellent management for Asia, not so much for Aus. I notice Health Min Butler mentioned ‘Reset’ at the National Press Club this week. Was that in relation to reining in the NDIS cost escalation thanks to a certain medical mandate post 2020, or was it a hat tip to UnaParty’s agenda-driven sponsors?
Want a quick and easy fix to massively overpriced and undersupplied housing?
Ban foreign ownership of residential housing and implement a cap on the number of rental properties someone can own.
Simple.
Robbie Barwick ( Citizens party ) has come on and said that Dim Jim tried to remove more RBA powers last year but Citizens Party with support from Greens managed to veto him. One of these powers which therefore remains is the power of the RBA to direct bank lending to particular sectors of the economy. So the bank and government has been “pretending” this power was quashed not retained, directing more lending to housing not useful investment:- perhaps things like resource downstream processing because Australia has plenty of resources and no reason to blame the A-rabs for the price of plastic pipe or any form of energy, it is all available here but so horribly mismanaged by the UnaParty and especially the ALP who work for their masters, people like Baron S. Hacca who leverages the election outcome virtually single handedly.
Robbie Barwick comes right out and says the RBA is lying.
They want to leverage house prices up while crippling the economy, who can guess all the reasons ? Maybe Chinese money laundering using Sydney houses is a major “export” income stream they want to develop.
As I have been saying more than once the RBA is lying about inflation which is caused by themselves and the crooked government, which they then try to blame on first home buyers. WTF ? It’s not possible to blame inflation on them and it’s not possible to fix the economy by punishing them. All they really want to do is leverage interest rates up as high as they can, with political ( public ) consent. So they lie. This is their tactic and they have pulled the wool over the sheeple’s eyes since the dollar was floated by Keating, “World’s Greatest Treasurer”.
Against the backdrop of a compulsively lying government and RBA, anything is doomed to failure and that’s what they want. People like S. Hacca want to get everyone on global parity $2 /hr. Only Gina came out and told the truth about what they were planning, the rest of them are saying nothing.
House prices are so out-of-control that a house which used to be easy enough for one man to pay for in a few years while supporting a wife and young kids, is now virtually impossible for a working couple with no kids to even purchase. This is all by design, it’s no accident. The public is being dismembered slowly, slowly by these vultures, whose sly attack comes from every possible angle.
Why fix a broken system when it generates profits for fat cats only.
The invasion of imported workers does a good job in replacing the former locals who built this place and mostly got sfa for their efforts.
Besides, new arrivals don’t need housing they can sleep 10 to a room, feet touching in the middle.
As cashed up nomenklatura party members from paradise dystopias come buying the lot. It’s a win win for fat pigs as our youth play virtual jobs, having lost/ no interest in the skills passed on to build. Maybe, we should follow India’s example, where women mix and pour concrete on housing sites passing buckets up ladders. Probably won’t happen as CCP one belt colony infrastructure down under is on steroids 24/7.

Don’t underestimate the cashed up bogans, while the aspiring lawyers and geeks have been done out of a job by Chatbots and have to put their name down for housing commission flats. What happened to housing commission flats anyway. Government can’t seem to do anything useful anymore, they just bust the place up, make it so it stops working, turns things arse about that they don’t even understand, and when they have done a lifetimes worth of wrecking in two terms they take a pension
Another boring style of house to live in, out there in suburbia with the rest of the bogans
