Tucker Carlson has claimed that Australian politicians responsible for imposing strict lockdowns during the pandemic should be jailed and has also criticized Anthony Albanese for allowing record levels of immigration to Australia.
The former Fox News host, who is on a speaking tour in Australia, said he was shocked by the restrictive lockdowns imposed on Australians and called for political leaders to be held accountable.
‘Putting your own citizens in concentration camps is crazy and I hope the people who did that go to jail for it,” Carlson told Daily Mail Australia.
This publication asked the controversial American commentator if he would like to see former Victorian Prime Minister Dan Andrews, nicknamed ‘Dictator Dan’, behind bars after being responsible for one of the country’s most punitive lockdowns.
“I believe that anyone who sends their own citizens to concentration camps without trial has committed a crime and should be held accountable,” Carlson responded.

“And I’m surprised that that’s even up for debate and my perception of Australia, not being an expert, is that it’s not even a topic of public conversation anymore and it should be.”
He added: ‘I don’t understand Australia, I’m not Australian, but I can’t believe that happened. and I can’t believe the people who did it got away with it.
Carlson, who is attending the Australian Freedom Conference at the invitation of mining billionaire Clive Palmer, also took aim at Albanese and his government’s record on immigration.
Last week it was revealed that a record 500,000 immigrants will enter the country this year, half of whom are students, at a rate of 60 every hour.
“I can’t stand it when foreigners come to my country and start lecturing me about politics and “I’m really trying not to do that,” Carlson said.

When asked if he planned to attend any welcome-to-country ceremonies, Carlson seemed momentarily taken aback.
“But in a democratic society you want a government to put its own citizens first and improve their lives in material and measurable ways, and any politician who is committed to mass immigration is not serving his own population.”
Carlson continued, describing governments that pursue a mass immigration policy as if they were carrying out a “expression of hatred towards one’s own people.”
‘I would say that’s true in Australia. If you let a million people in in a short period of time, how does that help the people who live here? she asked.
‘It is not like this. It hurts them. “I think it is an expression of hate.”
The conservative pundit also issued a dire warning about China’s threat to Australian citizens.
“China is the dominant power in the region and obviously already has a lot of control over its politics and buying politicians is very cheap and China needs the resources,” he said.

Carlson also harshly criticized governments pursuing a mass immigration policy, describing it as an “expression of hatred toward their own people.”
‘Australia has, how much? 26 million people? China has more than a billion. “You should be afraid of being dominated, of losing your sovereignty to China.”
When asked if he planned to attend any welcome-to-country ceremonies, Carlson seemed momentarily taken aback.
‘Smoking ceremonies? I wonder how that affects the climate, it seems like a lot of emissions to me,’ she said after the cultural practice was explained to her.
‘I’m not against. What I never want to participate in is an empty political ritual, but I mean, I certainly appreciate other cultures; That’s why I travel so much.’
Carlson said his only problem was with the Australian government, not its people.
“I’ve met a million Australians in my life and they are the funniest, warmest, most interesting and coolest people. “I couldn’t have higher regard for Australia or Australians,” he said.
“That’s why I was so offended by the COVID madness, because every country did that, I mean, go ahead and do it in some primitive country, not one that is clearly one of the biggest countries in the world.”
He urged Australians to resist the rise of “wokeness”.
‘Don’t let people attack you because of your race. Wake up “It’s an anti-white policy and I think it’s immoral,” he said.
‘I would think it was immoral if it was an anti-black or anti-Indian policy. I think racism is wrong and I thought everyone in the West believed that, I thought it was one of our core beliefs.
‘But in the last 10 years, governments have turned hatred of whites into a kind of philosophical pillar, and they say it out loud and I find that remarkable.
He added: “It doesn’t make you a white supremacist to demand to be treated like a human being.”
