Pauline Hanson has issued a grim warning about Australia’s future by comparing Anthony Albanese to a murderous Russian dictator.
The One Nation leader addressed the Senate on Wednesday with a speech titled ‘Brace Yourself: Australia’s Dystopian Future Under Albanese’.
In her speech, Senator Hanson compared Australia’s future under Labor, Greens and Coalition rule to that of the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin.
Stalin, who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953, is believed to have killed at least 6 million people held in gulags, a Soviet network of forced labor camps.
Senator Hanson claimed Australians would be confined to their homes and working “for nothing” if the country continued to promote projects such as more renewable energy projects and a cashless society.
She warned that “steak dinners” and “Sunday lamb roasts” would become a thing of the past and be replaced by a mix of dishes including lentils and worms.
Pauline Hanson has issued a grim warning about Australia’s future by comparing Anthony Albanese to a murderous Russian dictator.
The One Nation leader addressed the Senate on Wednesday with a speech titled “Brace Yourself: Australia’s Dystopian Future Under Albanese”.
“Well, I’m going to give you a glimpse into Australia’s future under Labor, the Greens and the Coalition, well those without a backbone,” Senator Hanson said.
“You will work much longer for less, and ultimately for nothing, just like they did in the old Soviet Union under Joe Stalin.”
June quarter wage price index data showed that for most workers, wages are still failing to keep pace with inflation.
The wage price index fell to 3.6 percent in June, from an annual rate of 3.7 percent in March – despite average wages rising by 0.8 percent.
This is the first annual decline in growth since the September 2020 quarter following national Covid-related lockdowns.
Senator Hanson criticized Mr Albanese’s commitment to green energy, saying the government would confine Australians to their homes to tackle greenhouse gas emissions.
“You will be confined to your suburb or country town, unable to leave its boundaries because it will emit too many greenhouse gases,” Senator Hanson said.
“There will be no way around this, as all your biometric data will be used to keep you under control.”
The prime minister signed Australia into a G7-backed “climate club” in July this year, after pledging to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas emissions and make it a renewable energy superpower .
Mr Albanese announced Labor’s “most restrictive climate change policy ever” during his election campaign.
The policy aims to create 604,000 jobs, reduce average household energy prices by $275 per year by 2025 and $378 by 2035, and reduce emissions by 43 percent by 2030. according to modeling commissioned by the Labor Party.
Stalin, who served as general secretary of the Communist Party and led the Soviet Union from 1941 to 1953, is believed to have killed at least 6 million people held in gulags, a Soviet network of forced labor camps.
Senator Hanson said Australians should say “goodbye” to Sunday steak and lamb, saying in Australia’s dystopian future Australians will eat a diet of bugs and worms mixed with food grade lentil puree (pictured, Australians barbecuing on Coogee Beach on Australia Day). )
In her speech, Senator Hanson also suggested Australians should travel overseas now and visit loved ones before it becomes too expensive due to the falling Australian dollar – which currently stands at 0 $.64 USD.
The Aussie climbed as high as US$0.65 on Wednesday, the biggest daily gain in 12 months – however, it is still down 4.5 percent this year.
Senator Hanson also encouraged Australians to prepare for a change in their diet from steak dinners and Sunday lamb roasts to insects and worms.
“Say goodbye to your steak dinner and Sunday lamb roast, and prepare your taste buds for a diet of bugs and worms mixed with your food-grade lentil puree,” Senator Hanson said.
The wild statement drew a laugh from United Australian Party senator Ralph Babet, who was sitting behind Hanson.
In Senator Hanson’s dystopian future, cash will also be a thing of the past, as will reliable electricity and fresh water.
The Reserve Bank, a wholesale distributor of bank notes, revealed that cash orders from commercial banks plunged to a new low in the last financial year.
While major banks like Commonwealth and ANZ now operate cashless branches, the $3.1 billion in new notes they ordered in 2022-23 was “around a third of a typical year’s issuance” .
In the year to June, 424 bank branches closed, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority revealed in October, with the number of branches falling by more than a third, or 37%, since June 2017.
“Forget cash – how dare you even think about making a transaction that won’t be monitored and won’t require approval,” Senator Hanson said.
“Forget the need for reliable, on-call electricity. As is the case in third world Africa – and even in North Queensland – you will buy your electricity ration in advance.
The UN leader also urged Australians to give up the ‘Australian dream’ of owning a home (pictured, auction in Paddington, Sydney)
“The smart meters you have installed will ensure that you can only use them when the government allows you to. The same will apply to your fresh water.
Senator Hanson asked Australians to “give up the great Australian dream” of owning a home and cited a 2016 video of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab saying: “You will own nothing and you will be happy” .
“You will be happy because your government says so, and woe to the poor Australians who dare say they are not subject to misinformation laws,” Senator Hanson said.
“Welcome to the future, Australia, which will arrive much sooner than you think thanks to your own government. Unless of course you’re super rich.
Sydney has ranked as the second least affordable city in the world, receiving this dubious honor from the Demographia International report on housing affordability.
The national vacancy rate for residential rental properties continued to decline to 1 percent in October, according to SQM Research.
While asking rents in capital cities rose by 0.7 per cent in the 30 days to November 12, contributing to a 15.5 per cent increase over the past year.
The number of residential properties nationally also declined, falling to 0.9 per cent, while combined housing asking prices increased by 1.2 per cent, reaching an average record high of $805,680.
Senator Hanson shared his speech on social media platform X and received mixed responses from social media users.
This comes after Senator Hanson called for a ban on welcoming rituals to the country.
Some agreed with the politician and thanked her for speaking out on controversial issues.
“Thank you for speaking up!” People need to speak loudly about this issue,” one person wrote.
“Well, said Pauline, one of the last politicians to look out for Australians and be ridiculed for doing her job,” a second person commented.
Others disagreed with the senator, saying her speech was full of “far-fetched bullshit.”
“For several reasons, I have never used the term “cooked” before. . . But there you go, Pauline, you are totally done,” one person commented.
“Sorry Pauline but all I heard was some far-fetched bullshit. You had a chance to have a legitimate, solid argument and you wasted it on a childish argument…all that we ask is that you do your job in a factual and professional manner,” said a second. no one wrote.
A third person chimed in: “I can never tell if this is a parody or if it’s real?
