One Nation Senator
Malcolm Roberts has called for an immediate abandonment of the Paris Climate
Agreement after President Trump today withdrew the United States.
President Trump
reaffirmed his commitment to putting the American people first and stated that
he is protecting American jobs and accuses the treaty of being designed to
redistribute U.S. wealth to other countries.
Australians are feeling
the economic pain from climate policies in our cost-of-living and daily lives -
unaffordable energy costs, high unemployment, a stagnant economy and a rapidly
rising national debt.
“The Paris Climate
Agreement has one aim, to de-industrialise Western nations to satisfy the
United Nations Socialist agenda – redistributing $100 trillion from prosperous
Western nations by 2100." stated Roberts.
China, India, Russia and
other Asian and African are not applying the same handbrake to their economies
which will give them an unprecedented economic advantage over Australia.
He added “By signing this
agreement our Government ceded our sovereignty to the United Nations - an act
of treachery against the Australian people - and must be rescinded immediately.”
“Australians did not vote
to give away our manufacturing industries to China and India or to make
electricity a luxury afforded only by the wealthy” stated Senator Roberts
“Even if we stop all
industry and transport tomorrow, it will make not one iota of difference to
climate”
Senator Roberts has given
the LNP, ALP and Greens a clear choice “you need to decide whose side you are
on, Australia’s or the United Nations?”
The Australian Government
should never side with foreign powers wanting to harm the economic security of
our nation” said Roberts
