Alan Jones demands Australia turns its back on the United Nations in climate change rant
Alan Jones has unleashed on the in a fiery rant about . The veteran broadcaster took aim at international organisations who he claims are interfering with domestic issues in Australia. 'If we want any national sovereignty at all, we must turn our backs on the World Economic Forum and the United Nations,' he said. 'These are outfits full of globalist bureaucrats who pontificate endlessly and try interfere with domestic issues. 'The Davos mob (World Economic Forum) keep pushing the climate agenda while the poor battler cops the rising electricity bill!' The conservative commentator earlier declared it would be an 'economic suicide note' if Australia continues to commit to net-zero climate change policies. 'Going net zero will cost Australia,' he said in May. 'I've called it a national economic suicide note.' Australia's government, under Anthony Albanese, is aiming to reduce its emissions by 43 per cent by Jones said he 'hoped' residents in the Hunter Valley or 'resource-rich' Western Australia were 'making their voices heard' as the net-zero policy would essentially phase out coal. 'If net zero becomes etched into the national psyche, which I fear it has thanks to weak-kneed politicians on both sides, their jobs will be gone,' he said. The broadcaster then questioned what the country would be able to pay for in the near future as the government plans to 'stick to going net zero'. 'How do we build better roads? How do we build more schools and hospitals? How do we afford to pay for those on welfare? How do we afford better conditions in aged care?' he said. Jones argued that Australians forgot that exporting resources and minerals 'pays for nearly all of this stuff'.
