Mehreen Faruqi Every now
Chris Kenny and then you come across a particular event or comments from a while back, and you wonder why you've never heard them before, why they hadn't made the news. And that's happened to me today when I tracked down comments I heard had been made by a Greens senator that make you wonder about her role, her capabilities, and her commitment to serving the people of Australia. The comments I've dugout come from Maureen Farooqi, the greens senator for New South Wales. We've already spoken about how she recently posed with pro Palestine protesters holding up signs that demand Israel has put in the bin. Classic anti Semitism just calling for the elimination of Israel.
Chris Kenny Hamas must be so pleased that they have these useful idiots in the west. But the other comments I'm about to show you relate to the usual Greens' obsession of climate change. Senator Farooqi spoke in parliament about last year's horrific Floods in Pakistan, her birth country, floods which were dramatic, devastating, and deadly, like previous severe flooding in that country. More than a 1000 people were killed, and Australia donated 1,000,000 of dollars in aid. But just listen to what this green senator had to say.
Mehreen Faruqi I've just returned from Pakistan after seeing my on climate is deeply felt there.
Chris Kenny Hang on. Let's just stop it there. Australia's criminal action? An Australian senator in the Australian senate talking about the plight of another country and labeling her own country criminal. What's going on here?
Chris Kenny Have a look at some more.
Mehreen Faruqi I've just returned from Pakistan after seeing my army. Australia's criminal inaction on climate is deeply felt there, felt in the extreme heat, Felt in the melting glaciers washing away entire villages, and felt in the everyday life of children in Pakistan who are suffocating In an ever deadly mix of intense heat and trapped pollution. So we must remember also to lift our gaze. We must start a process of making climate reparations to the global south countries who are most harmed by Australia's contribution to the climate crisis.
Chris Kenny Australia is criminal. Australia is to blame. Australia harms Pakistan, and we should pay reparations. This is disgusting and idiotic stuff coming from anyone, But coming from an Australian politician, someone elected to our national senate surely is just beyond the pale. Australia contributes, as you know, about 1% of global emissions and falling.
Chris Kenny As our chief scientist once Declared if we shut ourselves down altogether and produced no emissions, it wouldn't make any difference to the climate. Yet Farooqi slanders her own country, says where to blame for Pakistan's natural disasters. Sure to be ashamed of herself, and she ought to resign from the senate. Why isn't she protesting at the Chinese embassy will account for about a third of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. We already knew that Marine Farooqi didn't like Israel, But it turns out she's not a big rap on Australia either, although she doesn't mind taking out tax dollars.
Chris Kenny But also, why wasn't this reported? Why did the Canberra press gallery fail to report these comments? Are they running a protection racket for the green left?
