Reflecting on a decade in the Senate, it’s clear that every major issue facing Australia — from energy and water to economic decline — stems from the “uniparty” status quo.
We’ve fallen from the #1 highest per capita income a century ago to now hurtling toward 20th. Despite having the world’s richest natural resources per capita, poor policy choices have left us dependent on foreign powers for manufacturing, energy and fertiliser.
We need to restore Australia’s independence.
We need to drill and refine at home, keeping our oil, gas and manufacturing within our borders from start to finish.
We need to secure domestic supply by rebuilding local production for essentials like fertiliser.
I support Senator Bell’s inquiry to get the real data on how this happened and how we fix it.
Australia deserves better than managed decline.

Senator Roberts: I was elected in 2016 in May-July. I started in July. I’ve had more than 10 years since I first joined the Senate. I’ve been elected once and re-elected twice. In that 10 years, I’ve learnt that every major problem in this country is due to the uniparty. Your policies on energy, your policies on climate fraud, your policies on water—disgraceful. You’ve done everything you can to hammer workers into subservience. You’re both guilty of mass immigration.
Australia has fallen from having the No. 1 highest per capita income in the world a hundred or so years ago to now being headed out the back door. We’re heading for 20th thanks to you lot. We are still the richest nation in the world for resources per capita, yet now we’re dependent on communist dictatorships and the unstable government for much of what we need in this country. Our manufacturing has been shot, thanks to you lot, so we’re now dependent. We must have new capability restored within our borders—we drill for oil or gas within our borders, process it, refine it, transport it, and put it in bowsers, then into cars, trucks and tractors, with the whole process in our country. What’s the matter? You have abandoned that. You’ve both caused it.
We need the same for fertiliser. We need to restore Australia. We have the world’s highest per capita resources, yet we’re heading down the road to poverty, thanks to you lot. We need to get the data on why this has happened. We need to get the data on what we need. We need to get the facts. That’s why I support this inquiry that Senator Bell has had the courage to put forward.
Malcolm, this matter is now critical for Australia, we used to be the best at resource discovery and development so bringing wealth to the nation. However, environmental, native title and climate/energy plus taxation rules and regulations have swamped the mining industry, making it hard to make a legitimate profit in a timely manner.
Governments of all persuasions have milked this money cow almost to extinction, forgetting that we don’t have chap reliable raw materials and power, we can’t make or manufacture anything competitively. For our economy to be successful we need to take full advantage of nature’s gifts and have growth plans based on science and economics not ideology, as is not the case with current Labor governments.
The liberal `wets’ or Turnbullites of course have also fallen into the woke trap of believing in the UN and EU globalist institutions in reference to trade, climate and energy, hence until they are purged from internal political control, the conservatives cannot start dismembering the last decade of useless policies that contributed to forcing them out of office. One Nation’s policies have garnered the sweet spot that the silent majority want to see enacted to regain our once preeminence in global economic efficiency, admiration and respect. If these policies are not taken up, we Aussies are in for more gloom and doom and continued lowly client status of both China, the US and the EU. Environmentalists, progressives and the climate doom crowd are directly responsible for our current lowly status, their power and prestige must be overthrown, the sooner the better.
