I spoke with Peter Gleeson on Friday about how we need to rebuild our economy once the COVID19 crisis is over.
What is the biggest hurdle? The liberal and Labor parties who have been adopting United Nations directives since the 1975 Lima Agreement up until the Paris Agreement.
These globalist agreements suck the wealth out of our country and leave us vulnerable.

Queensland senator, Malcolm Roberts is rallying behind Australian made and manufactured products, and is urging others to do the same as the pandemic continues to hurt the economy and decline business productivity. It has highlighted the need to revamp the country’s manufacturing industry.
The One Nation member believes it’s time the government does more to help reinvigorate that particular sector. He joins me now from our Brisbane studio. Senator Roberts, thanks for joining me.
Look, I see this, I mean this is obviously a very tough time for the globe, for the entire planet, of course Australia as well, but surely there’s an opportunity here to reassess, to recalibrate what we do when it comes to manufacturing, and that we don’t rely on the Chinas as much as we have in the past.
[Malcolm]:
You are absolutely right Peter. It’s something that we’ve been saying very strongly for many years now, not just since the virus. But the virus has well and truly and blown open the exposed, the core issue, which is the lack of security in this country. We’ve been led by wombats in Canberra, for about, since 1944 they followed the UN policies.
One of the Liberal Party Premiers in Western Australia, Richard Court, wrote this fabulous book, “Rebuilding the Federation”. On page three of the book, he outlines a process that the governments have followed in putting in place the UN governance over this country.
So, my point is, while we see a security problem, because we don’t have adequate manufacturing, can’t build the essentials for our medical protection, our military protection, our civilian use, we don’t get anywhere until we reverse the UN’s policies over us.
The UN’s Lima Declaration, which substantial countries did not sign in 1975, was signed by us, and what it meant was the deindutrialization, the demanufacturing of our entire manufacturing sector.
And it was worsened, and that was the UN’s Lima Declaration in 1975, the Whitlam’s labour government signed, and the following year in 76, Fraser’s liberal government, National Party government signed.
Then it was followed by the Paris Agreement in 2015, but in between, we had the 1996 UN Kyoto Protocol. All of these are UN protocols. We also have, a friend of mine, managed to get these 7000 treaties as of 1996, I don’t now what the hell the number is now, but those treaties have destroyed our sovereignty.
So, before we can really bring back manufacturing we have to get rid of the UN’s control over our countries. We need to get the hell out of the UN. Not just the World Health Organisation, but the whole UN. I called on that, I called for that in 2016 in my first speech. The UN has been destroying our country.
This crisis has exposed our lack of governance, our lack of sovereignty, the destruction of our productive capacity, the destruction of our economic resilience, and Peter, it has shown us that the globalist elites that are pushing interdependence have really made us dependent. We have lost our independence.
Because once we’re interdependent with someone else, it means we are dependent on them. We’ve got very little manufacturing, our electricity prices are the now the highest in the world. 10 years ago they half what they are now. Sorry, yeah, 10 years ago in 2010, they have since risen 90%.
That’s now a big part of manufacturing costs. We won’t compete with the Chinese who we send our whole productivity coal to at cheap prices, if we then inflate the price in our country due to stupid UN regulations driven by liberal labour governments since 1944. We have got to wake up and put Australia first.
[Peter]:
Malcolm, how important then, based on what you just said, is project like the Bradfield Scheme for our water, copper string, to halve our electricity costs, how important are these projects right now in this country?
[Malcolm]:
Absolutely vital, but the key is to make sure we restore our constitution, or rather compliance with our constitution. Our constitution is fabulous, I could talk for hours on it. But we need to restore our compliance with it.
Because it doesn’t matter if we haven’t got, it doesn’t matter if we have a Bradfield and the water is being distributed according to UN policies. The 2007 Turnbull-Howard Water Act repeatedly states throughout policy, throughout the legislation, that one of the critical aims of the Water Act is to implement international commitments, international regulations, what a lot of crap.
We should be looking after Australia. So we need the Bradfield Scheme, we need so many other projects looking after our energy. We need a new coalfied power station in this state, and many in this country. That is the cheapest form of electricity. We have got to get back to basics, back to basics a return to reality, Peter. And then build these projects that are so necessary for restoring our productive capacity.
[Peter]:
The other opportunity I see, Malcolm, is getting rid of red and green tape. You know, big projects, there’s a big project out at Cleveland, in Brisbane at the moment, the Tudor Harbour Project, it’s ready to go, the developer’s ready to pump cash into it, but he’s being stymied by the fact that there’s green tape that is costing that project the opportunity to go ahead.
In this particular economic climate, when things are so tough, surely we should be just saying, “All right, you need to comply with these environmental regulations, get on with the job. Create the jobs.
[Malcolm]:
You make so much sense, mate, so much sense. Overregulation is killing us, but it’s not just the red and the green tape, mate, it’s also the blue tape. The red tape being bureaucracy, the green tape being stupid environmental regulations, we need some but not the ones we’ve got now, the blue tape quite often drives the red tape and the green tape.
The blue tape is the UN, and I’m speaking specifically of Agenda 21, that was signed by the Paul Keating’s government in 1992. Look at it, just a whole bunch of regulations that our shoved through our parliament, sometimes with no understanding of the parliamentarians, it’s been going that way under both the liberal and labour party since 1992. We have got to turn this mess around.
And the overregulation is due to the UN blue tape, due to red tape and green tape. But that’s the key thing, our tax system is atrocious, we don’t tax 90% of our large companies who are foreign owned and yet we tax the hell out of locals, especially families.
We pay for the infrastructure then we flog it off to them at vastly reduced prices. Why would someone buy an infrastructure asset, other than it would make money? So why are we selling it if it makes money?
This just gets my goat and I can see why Pauline is so damn upset, because she’s been fighting this since 1996. I’ve become aware of it in the last 10 years, 12 years. It’s a disgrace. And our country is being crippled by the wombats and the liberal and labour party hierarchy, the power brokers who’re just pushing this crap from the UN, that’s what we’ve got to root out.
Because that will remove the overregulation, reduce electricity prices and then we need to talk about tax. We have some fantastic people in this country, amazing resources, huge opportunities, and enormous potential. But it hasn’t been realised since 1944 and the formatio of the UN. We have been gutted, castracized and chocked and suffocated.
[Peter]:
Yeah, sure. Malcolm Roberts thank you for joining us tonight on Sky News across Australia, I’ve learnt something, blue tape. I hadn’t heard of blue tape before. But thanks for joining us Malcolm.
[Malcolm]:
You’re welcome Peter.
