THE stupidity of the international “carbon credits” scam played out in Tasmania this week after the Treasurer Jim Chalmers approved the sale of Tasmania’s biggest farm to a foreign investor expecting to profit from the scam by planting pine trees.
Chalmers and the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approved the $100 million-plus sale of Rushy Lagoon to the Tasmanian Natural Asset Trust, which is managed by the United Kingdom’s Gresham House.
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation financed the deal with $69 million claiming Rushy Lagoon was the “cornerstone” of a project that would “create local jobs and inject significant capital into the regional economy while generating high integrity Australian Carbon Credits Units and protecting an important Ramsar wetland”.
The 22,000-hectare property in the northeast has been owned by the Pye family of New Zealand and has been a major producer of dairy and beef. But the lush pastures will be planted in common pine trees so Gresham House can earn carbon credits.
NSW Libertarian Craig Kelly says it’s straight out economic vandalism. “It makes you want to weep for Australia,” he posted on X.
He compared Luddites buying a factory and smashing the productive machines with sledge hammers.
The farm has been known as a powerhouse of beef and dairy production for decades but will now be shut down for “carbon credits” that Kelly described as “worthless pieces of paper peddled by grifters, spivs, and rent-seeking parasites in the name of Net Zero so they can profit while the nation suffers.”
“Just when you think it can’t get any worse — congratulations, Australia — our taxpayers are being forced to fund this insanity with $69 million.
“That’s right. Chris Bowen’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation is pumping $69 million of our money into the deal to become a minor shareholder in the destruction of productive farmland.
“Think about the l has been known evel of this insanity. $69 million of Australian taxpayers money is being used to help a foreign company buy Australian farmland and shut it down.
This is the international green movement in action: collapsing food production, productivity and living standards in the name of “saving the planet”.
“This is economic sabotage. With this decision today, Australia is a poorer, weaker nation,” says Kelly.
“Productive land is taken out of commission, food production is hit – so we’ll pay higher prices at supermarket and taxpayers foot the bill so the carbon credit scam industry can flourish.”
“They are vandalising our productive economy, enriching their mates, and driving us into decline — all while lying that this is “progress.”
One Nation has pledge to pull out of the Paris Agreement that facilitates this kind of folly, in addition to scrapping the wasteful, destructive neo-Marxist institution called the Department of Climate Change.
Excessive grubbernment spending inviting perpetual and ultimately unrepayable debt is in the end a public asset transfer and sell off by the grubbernments to their PRIVATE SECTOR LENDERS! And the beaut part is WE get to pay for it! Nice.
.
But at least our political slimeballs can get a few brownie points and plaudits from their mentors and sponsors.
Some good points raised in OB’s video. ‘Economic genocide’ is a great term: – just like ‘economicide.’
.
The problem underlying all of these economic issues ultimately derives from the broken monetary system. Fix the monetary system and you fix every derivative economic problem. This is Australia’s problem in one picture. Every currency follows the exact same progression because they are all inflationary.
.
https://www.marketoracle.co.uk/images/2009/Feb/aud-pp.png
.
You want to know what’s coming next in the global inflationary economic system? Go check out the Congressional Budget Office’s projected debt issuance over the next twenty-four years. This will be the fulfilment of economic genocide for those who were too lazy to secure their economic survival.
.
Thankfully a replacement monetary system has already breached the horizon, although unlike the existing inflationary structure, the new system is founded upon a deflationary model.
.
The salient problem that exists for the bankers – and most everybody else – is that everything they own has been purchased via the inflationary monetary system, hence, every one of their assets forms an integral part of the inflationary system. As the inflationary model collapses, which is inevitable, so will the value of every asset tied to this system when measured against the new replacement metric. As none of these people have ever operated within a deflationary monetary system, there’s little chance they’ll ever contemplate such a model, let alone preemptively convert their assets into an emerging deflationary economic structure. Its just not going to happen, its already game over for them.
.
As the new deflationary monetary system already exists, albeit in its pre-scale up phase, the big question is will those within the inflationary economic structure convert their assets over into the deflationary system – willingly? – well of course they won’t.
.
They won’t because they are clueless frightened sheep. Their nature is to let the shepherd and dog do the work, whilst they just graze/consume and do as their told when they are told.
.
So are the plebs converting their inflationary based assets over into the deflationary system? Of course not, and why not? Because they’re stupid and primed for economic extinction. So, who’s doing the majority buying right now? Well of course, – its the advance guard of the financial industry. And when the industry releases its new financial products tiered on top of the deflationary assets, who will they be sold to? Yup, you got it, – the retail lemmings.
.
As the economic conversion will never occur through their own volition, these people [and their governments] will just have to watch their asset values destroyed by economicide. When the plebs finally realise their assets have been inflated to worthlessness, meaning everything they own is now priced in a worthless currency, and moreover, a parallel replacement system also exists that will preserve what’s left of their former wealth, then what are they going to do? Of course, they’ll do exactly as they always do, they’ll stampede into their newly prepared pasture.
.
The obscene wealth generated by this forthcoming stampede will be beautiful to behold. Washington knows it, Wall Street knows it, Larry knows it, and I know it. When it happens, which it will, as every World government needs it, the herd will immediately do what they always do, – they’ll blame the prescient bankers and wealthy individuals for their own self-inflicted economic genocide, when in actuality, they’ll have only themselves to blame for their own due negligence and conscious failure in overriding their genetically inherited stupidity.
.
The new evolution doesn’t even value things in fiat currencies anymore, such metrics and the primitives who use them are sniggered at behind closed doors. They belong to the last precessional age, not the emerging one.

re: “Our political masters are spending money like drunken sailors, on shore leave, after 12 months at sea”
.
Of course, they consider it their money. What’s ours is theirs as far as they’re concerned. So what business is it of ours? Let them eat cake, I say.
Commenter david
The Italians got it right, that’s why the establishment / mainstream despises them
Our political masters are spending money like drunken sailors, on shore leave, after 12 months at sea. I am tempted to post a photo of Mussolini and his mistress, after their meeting with the Italian patriots at the end of WW2.
Cuba, that little Island close to America, even though under severe sanctions for a long, long time, still gives free health care and free education to its people.
I thought America and Australia are wealthy countries. Yet we can’t do the same as little heavily sanctioned Cuba.
Says a lot doesn’t it. Their priorities are at home and for their people.
Just wait until we are put under a ‘war economy’. A legal way of bleeding the people dry while we help other countries who we know little about, to win wars, and of course so politicians etc., can dance the light fantastic.
Goodbye to many things.
Hello to frugality with a capital letter. It won’t matter then which Party is in power.
.
And thanks to those apparently horrible nations called China and Russia. The first for bringing in massive solar panels for power etc., and Russia for the shipment of rice. Probably etc as well.
There is good in this world. Not that you will hear about it except in a denigrating tone.
+Just when one thinks they can not get more idiotic, they do & leave one breathless, come up to north of Caboolture & see how pine trees ‘work! they stay there for 50 or 60 years then are flogged off to a big developer for ‘housing’.
If hemp had been planted they would have had 2 crops each year for a total of well over 100. it would have improved the soil & produced something very useful, but why would any grubiment want to do that?
Well commenter P Lodge
The elites have been carving up land, zoning it and reselling it over and over for centuries, it’s one of their main games. When you consider all the tax, the act of one commoner selling to another involves the state ( crown ) taking such a slice it must be considered a party to the sale. Now the British crown, a bunch of clapped out mostly Germans, has sold out to Swissy for a “stake” in the NWO, so UNDRIP gets all the wasteland and the banksters who now own the crown get the commercial land, they want all the farms and mines out of commoners’ hands. The national “debt” will be used to annex the whole lot, a bit at a time, so you don’t notice. Commoners will be paid and taxed at rates suitable to keep them working until 65. The new replacement strategy is NOT NEGOTIABLE. Australians will be replaced in appropriate numbers by currymunchers like it or not and here is why:
The British ( “5 eyes” ) and Chinese empires still exist. The CCP is taking a line through Myanmar to the KyaukPheu harbour next to where the Rohingas got kicked out, by sitting duck Aung Sung Yoo Kyi sorry I forgot her exact name, she has done that dirty job for the Burmese army and now locked up again. The “One Belt Road” extends to Sri Lanka, already signed on. So the CCP intends to own the eastern Indian Ocean, they will convert Kyauk Pheu to a military base of course, the Burmese army challenge will be to stop them, the Burmese army will fail and the leadership probably walk away with “a package”.
( Side note, Thailand working on a freight corridor to the Andaman sea ).
Australia’s defence therefore relies on keeping the currymunchers on side. We will be offering assets to their elite classes and importing their middle classes AS FAST AS WE CAN. There’s no point holding a grudge, Dravidians like Ernie Dingo have been here as long as dingo dogs, they probably brought them in. So suck it up Pauline, you have done a great job but if you can’t deal with reality you’ll be back in the slammer before you can say “Rogan Josh”. I am fine with Pauline dishing it out to the Islamists, but One Nation is more of a threat to the establishment if she is martyred again and Malcolm and Barnaby are running the show, Rennick would be a welcome addition, as would Antic and Canavan, the blue faction establishment seat-warmer people are probably obsolete so politicians will need to make a career choice. Of course the blue faction already “died” under Hawke and Keating but now they have the Teal Party frauds too.
One especially good thing about currymunchers is that their medical system is independent from Rockerfellas. The evil masterminds of our patent medicine so-called health system are trying to get into India but of course most people can’t afford their junk products and will keep on with the traditional. In India you can get all the stuff that’s banned here and over the counter. Our health system is so overloaded with quackery and fraud, I think it’s only worse in North America and the UK. You can’t even buy Iodine in the UK I hear, and in Canada a story about a guy who met a MAID doctor in a cafe and was dead 2 hours later. ( * medical assistance in dying )
Your illness which is usually malnutrition, parasites or something simple, if untreatable by patent medicine quackery, is declared incurable.
“Go away and die quietly”. Or contact your local currymuncher who might help you out.
Suck it up Australia
( not to be paranoid but P Lodge has a bit of the tone of ol’ dd2, could be anyone but just sayin’ )
He, he, he…. We all know we’re being fkd over for years by the traitorous bought and paid for Uniparty hired slime yet here we are STILL sitting on our hands and whingeing about being fkd over day after day after day as if by some invisible ‘force’.
.
It’s not the slime’s ‘incompetence’ that’s to blame, in case any of the retards think our ‘ELITE’ don’t know what they’re doing. They’re doing doing what they’re told!
.
But it ain’t us that’s telling them, in case any possum retards don’t think Santa Klaus and the WEF and the Money Merchants, etc, are real. Our normal gaslit role is simple, we just need to think of them as the ‘elite’ and lie down and simply keep taking it. Because we’re told there’s nuthing we can do about it. And we seem to believe it.
.
She’ll be right, right possums?
Chatbot informs me that Chris Bowen ( pictured ) has a house 100m from the beach, that’s a one minute walk.
“Low elevation: Most of Bawley Point sits only a few metres to a few dozen metres above sea level. The roads rise and fall gently, but there are no major hills.”
No wonder he wants to save Australia from the rising sea levels.
Chatbot continues:
“For global mean sea level:
From 1950 to today (around 2025), global mean sea level has risen by about 140–170 mm.
By 2050, the IPCC projects global mean sea level will be about 200–300 mm higher than today, depending on emissions, though differences between scenarios are still relatively small by mid-century.
Adding the historical rise since 1950 gives a total projected rise of approximately:
340–470 mm (34–47 cm) from 1950 to 2050.”
.
Oddly, I looked at St Kilda Beach on Google Earth just now and it looks the same as always.
I asked the bot to double check with Swissy’s “World Metereological Organisation” and the bot confirms I am wrong.
Sea level has gone up more than half a metre even though it looks exactly the same on the St Kilda foreshore as it did 40 years ago.
Perhaps if we sent Swissy’s UN another $100 million per year they could explain this to me better.
.
Bot says: For 2026, Australia’s assessed contribution to Swissy’s UN regular budget is approximately A$103–108 million.

All lower tier Ozzie Politicians have had their price. Was Paulines her special plane and a few fat green envelopes under the table? Then Gina unfurled with religious zeal her Pro-Zionist Ai autonomous seek and destroy drone killing machine love. On their behalf or also a sign of their possession and full support and commitment to baby smashing Israel and under Mossad control? You wouldn’t run with the genocide team unless you were really in. Lets not forget that instead of investigating the 500 IDF GAZA returnees post Bondi, the ‘Thols’ lobbyists tried to get them all security gigs with no doubt full automatic, ‘long arms’ at their new Bondi beach with sniper posts for stray Palestinians. Gina’s home for vets and future drone victims may need an amputee extension wing and some of those lovely new Indian and African nurses.
Is ON compromised or just bought out that ‘low pay’ way back in those long long days in her political wildernesses.
Dumpf Vader was a Judas goat, is Pauline a patsy or Patriot Queen? You have to wonder under Albo the inbred liar as they all have their ulterior double, triple dipping intentions, motives and agendas. Paying 360 billion for an imaginary disarmed sub is a classic example of their many useless economic pyres of tax payers funds now are in billions burnt.
Australia is a fading dream once those that have it die off the industrial robot mining wasteland machines begin, maybe.
CN Cynicism is the macro lens of a thinking mind, of hard yarders who don’t mind spending extra time.) No choice now
in Ai fake world Mk I as every worker of the mind is potentially replaced to become erroneous potential state burdens?
Its almost like we are treated as cattle or more so now like vermin and poisoned in the most inhumane ways. I have to say, lobotomised? Hypnotised or ‘de-souled’ for the religious, I did sense a hollow human vessel burning in my head.
A CV whistleblower could blow all the Pollies away but its a club and we ain’t in it, yet, maybe never. Lampposts win.
Some say hard labour, asset strip entire family, no parole and jail dole as we mustn’t lose our humanity.
Forget the detractors Pat…It is extremely rare that I ever disagree with you. You seem to know what I do, you just say it in different way. Like ‘Mr Nowhere Man’, three different approaches, same shit, same smell!

Never give up, never give in, we all do this because we want a better world.

Ropes and lamp posts!
An important wetland, plantations suck up heaps of water.
Its called the ‘Anti-Industrial Revolution.’

You don’t like Trump’s re-industrialisation program? That’s okay, then deindustrialise and live with it. Ask Germany how the revolution’s going?.

How long before the new owner ship takes possession because trees don’t grow overnight except Labor money trees so the current owners moo cows can still feed off that property as the trees grow and they could play a role in keeping the grass down when the trees reach maturity so as to reduce bush fire threat to the property ..
Our government we have to have could have saved us all that money by doing a deal with the land owner that both moo cows and pine trees co-exist .
Which country will the foreign owners be claiming their tax deductions and carbon credits from ?
Reading your last rant Pat actually highlights what I was saying
Hey folks,
.
Here’s a little remedial education session for everyone, for all comers, because we’re never too old to learn (although clearly some prefer not to).
.
Exhibit #1
Pat’s Got HDS said – “… firstly TDS, now HDS…”
.
So let’s clear away the fog and illuminate the terrain, shall we?
.
What’s a better metric for derangement, folks, admitting the Truth or denying it?
.
It should be patently abundantly emphatically irrefutably indisputably indefatigably apparent that all those delusional Hero-worshipping cultists who toss around the (Insert Protected Species Here) “Derangement Syndrome” labels are, in fact, deranged, preferring to dismiss tangible substantiated freely verifiable facts with a wave of the tongue in order to preserve the Hopium of Hero narratives and pollies’ empty promises, even when every single promise has been clearly and openly and blatantly torn up and flushed down the dunny, when the Blue Sky is nothing but Brown because they’re wiping their arses with your face and laughing while they do it.
.
The “Derangement Syndrome” tag, folks, it’s the NEW “Conspiracy Theory” shield now that the old Conspiracy Theory trope has lost it’s mojo after DECADES of exploitation to silence dissenters and enquiring minds and stonewall inconvenient scrutiny.
.
PROJECTION, folks. If anyone levels the (Insert Protected Species Here) “Derangement Syndrome” accusation at you or anyone else, then run, don’t walk, in the opposite direction, because you’re dealing with a DERANGED individual or institution or whatever mouthpiece is at work.
.
Strangely enough, the people most INCAPABLE of seeing a Cult are the ones that are IN it. But it’s easy enough to recognise that you’re dealing with a Hero Worship cult whenever you see or hear that updated “Conspiracy Theory” slur, namely the (Insert Protected Species Here) “Derangement Syndrome”. The Blind leading the Blind while they accuse the sightful of their own ailment, the Deranged leading the Deranged while they try in vain to obfuscate their ideological bankruptcy and intellectual myopia and wilfully selective amnesia by discrediting their detractors with the (Insert Protected Species Here) “Derangement Syndrome”.
.
The (Insert Protected Species Here) “Derangement Syndrome” label, folks – it’s like being able to wield that tired old worn-out “Antisemetic” security blanket to crush your opponents when you’re not even a Vampire, only NEWER and BETTER even than the CIA’s “Conspiracy Theory” tactic.
I wasn’t worried about Pauline before. Best of a bad lot I thought.
BUT NOW. Not so sure. Others pulling the strings.
That won’t change, just a change of masters.
Pat is right and that puts the wind up me.
.
What one promises in Opposition is rarely what happens when elected.
.
And while we desperately need change, remember how the UK Prime Minister Kier Starmer
was elected. Best of a bad lot they thought.
And apparently he turned out to be one of the worst. That’s what desperation brings about.
Take care Australia.
There’s a company named Gresham House which features a plague locust as its logo.
It wouldn’t surprise if it’s the same company as chosen by Team Fabians.
OMG the mRNA shedding certainly has affected their common sense and logic.
When I read “managed by the United Kingdom’s Gresham House”, the first thing I thought of was colonisation. It’s time Australia became a Republic.. or will Australia be the last to leave British control. The former realms of Ireland and India have already abolished the monarchy from their constitutions. King Charles is the main “environmentalist” who has rallied global leaders and institutions to his cause.
Gotta feel kinda sorry for Pat of late… firstly TDS, now HDS. Makes thinking on any meaningful level impossible being afflicted with both at the same time.
Pat from Victoria should worry about the government criminals running his own state into the ground and let Pauline Hanson pull Australia out of the shit.
Is Albo’s mouth closed because he’s busy chewing???
Hey folks,
.
The article ends with – “… One Nation has pledge to pull out of the Paris Agreement that facilitates this kind of folly, in addition to scrapping the wasteful, destructive neo-Marxist institution called the Department of Climate Change…”
.
Yay Super Pauline!
.
But hang on a minute… Super Pauline’s One Nation CORPORATE PARTY is owned lock stock & barrel by the Vampires, folks. Just like Peace President Ginger Nuts aka Super War Criminal Trump (remember the Liberty, folks, and remember the Venezuelan fishermen as well as 165 little Iranian school girls and ALL THE REST).
.
Kind of sounds just a teensy weensy little itty bitty bit like jumping out of the fry pan into the fire.
.
Don’t be thinking about those Legendary White Hats coming to “save” us, folks, maybe better be ponderingTroy instead.
.
Ain’t no ginger Lady of the Lake gonna turn the tide with any big shiny blade and Vampire drone factories, folks, but the Fat Lady just might make a difference when she heralds the arrival of Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post.
