Here we go again — the UN will try again in October to get its own income stream. The UN bureaucrats don’t want to go begging for cash among difficult right wing populist leaders, they want their own money. So, yet again, they’re proposing some form of carbon tax on ships and planes, supposedly to save the world from beachy weather. But we all know that the main purpose is to line the pockets of The Blob.
If they succeed, they will just ask for more. There’s no accountability. No limits. Just an infinite array of ways to “help us” by taking our money.

The UN’s plan to levy taxes on global trade is a sinister power grab
By Brenda Shaffer, The Telegraph
International energy and climate policies stand at the centre of one of the most defining political issues of our time: the expanding power of unelected institutions such as the United Nations in the lives of people in democratic societies.
Two UN agencies – the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) – plan to tax global shipping and aviation for their greenhouse gas emissions. This would mark the first time an unelected institution has levied taxes on major sectors of global economic activity. The planned levies would expand the power and budgets of these agencies with no democratic accountability.
If implemented, the UN agency levies will raise global shipping and aviation costs, adding to inflation worldwide. Shipping produces just around 2 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions, yet a UN tax on it would add costs to virtually every traded good. Shipping carries more than 80 per cent of global trade, a share expected to grow. Civil aviation accounts for approximately 2.5 per cent of global emissions. The planned carbon offset requirement would add further costs to international flights.
The IMO hopes that airlines will be purchasing carbon offsets from January next year and it expects to rake in between $11 billion and $13 billion US.
As Brenda Shaffer points out, only the rich (stupid) west will pay this fee. It will offer another competitive advantage to China.
Worse, it will feed the Blob. Every dollar fed into the machine is more money the UN can use for soft propaganda, and compliant modeling to sell their horror stories. It’s more money to reward their acolytes with junkets to Brazil or Azerbaijan to keep them loyal.
The UN should be disbanded for even suggesting they want taxation without representation. Enough!
The UN has long gone past it’s usefulness and should be scrapped.
It’s just a gravy train for failed pollies and their ilk.
I remember reading some time ago that in about 1948 it was denigrated.
Of course, the “bureaucratic” types did not agree and won that argument.
Hence we have the shite of today.
I reckon the ONLY way Australia will ever be able to get out of its clutches is when
ONE NATION holds power in Canberra.
And that MAY be sooner than the UNI-Party think.
More protection required.

Wouldn’t it have been nice is the UN had actually spent time, expertise and the money gifted to it to improve the lives of people in developing nations?
It’s beyond belief that there is still a need to build basic infrastructure, provide clean water, education, reliable and affordable electricity, not to mention actual peace and stability.
All those things are supposed to be facilitated under the UN charter, yet here we are, decades down the track (nearly 80 years in fact) and still millions are ignored and left behind.
The UN is way past its use-by date, and there’s no need or reason to continue feeding the well-upholstered would-be “world leaders” who think they own us and would control us down to our very thoughts.
Enough!

Take what appears to be a reasonable idea, then morph it into just another money making machine. Not only the U.N. look at Greenpeace, the WWF. etc. Think the only one of these going broke might be the Sierra Club. The rest just took their primary reason for existence into politics and money. Forget “saving the children” run an add costing many thousands of dollars to beg for more money to run more adds to beg for more money. And so on and so on,

Imagine the fun if Mandamni decided to make low-rent housing out of the UN building.

Like the League of Nations before it, the UN reached its use-by date. However, the UN then over-reached! It’s time for its termination.

Just another sound reason to vote for One Nation in Victoria in November and in the Federal election in 2028.
Of course we must preference vote for the Coalition after we vote for ON and make sure we preference the dangerous Labor and Greens loonies last on your ballot paper.
If you don’t preference Labor and Greens last you are wasting your time and you will ensure we have the net zero BS and lunacy forever.

Blackout is certain to lose his seat in McMahon in the next election. Last year’s poll had him at 19% primary. That will not even get him into a preference race.
He is now looking to his future outside Australia as Rudd did. He has $155M to splash about to buy UN favours. He will surely sign off on this new UN tax. Rudd learnt a hard lesson for criticising POTUS Trump as has the UN.
All these leaches sucking the life out of the real economy. And their ABC morons wonder why inflation is out of control – STOP FUNDING THE UN.

Stop teasing us, Rick.

“Rudd learnt a hard lesson ”
I could be so lucky to learn hard lessons that just happen to make me and other family members millionaires. The pain of public humiliation quickly fades on the way home from the bank.
Like starting a labour hire company just before the laws changed, or investing in renewable energy, just before the laws changed. All good luck!

The jobs company was his wife, who had been one of the senior bureaucrats at Education, Employment, and Training who privatized the old Commonwealth Employment Service.
She then proceeded to get the Queensland Govt contract for providing bodies for the rapidly expanding QLD public service.

If only we could ensure that BOB never again has a government-funded or government influencing position anywhere in the World, including the UN.
No lobbying jobs either.
He needs to be kept away from any position of influence in public affairs.
Add, no government-funded jobs for any ex-politician for a specified period – say 5 or 10 years so that they cannot feather their own nests prior to leaving public office

The UNelected UN imposing a tax?
Tell ’em they’re dreamin.
Any country/company with any cojones will tell them to shove it.
I guess that means a lot of countries in the west and their woke companies will just fold to the blob.
A distinct lack of cojones and common sense.
250
I’ve often likened the Climate blob to a Terminator Zombie. It keeps rising up from the dead even after suffering all kinds of setbacks. The UN is part of that blob and we need to find a way to eliminate it. I might have to go rewatch Terminator movie or some Zombie horror show to see how you kill the damn things.
But seriously, Australia is now even more dependent on shipping for our imports and exports. More so our imports these days. So, if our elected representatives vote Yes to this, ( which they will, of course ) it will add to our cost of living. Plus, make all our important export industries ( eg agriculture) more expensive. Because, I’m not sure if people have noticed- we’re at the bottom of the world at the end of the shipping lanes. But then again, our elected representatives signed us up to Net Zero, even though our continent is a CO2 sink.
210
In films, decaptitation has always been a good way to terminate zombies. However, I fear organisations like the UN are more like a hydra- you cut a head off and two grow back.

Creation of United Nations Agendas and Laws in Australia
Ratification of International Treaties
In Australia, the process of creating laws related to United Nations agendas begins with the ratification of international treaties. The Australian government commits to uphold these treaties, which outline various human rights and international obligations.
Implementation in Domestic Law
While ratification is a crucial first step, these international obligations often require domestic legislation to be fully enforceable. Currently, Australia does not have a comprehensive national Human Rights Act that would directly incorporate the rights outlined in these treaties into its legal system.
Key Points
Ratification: Australia signs and ratifies international treaties, committing to their principles.
Domestic Legislation: For these treaties to be enforceable, specific laws must be enacted at the national level.
Lack of a National Human Rights Act: The absence of a comprehensive Human Rights Act means that many rights protected by international treaties are not directly enforceable in Australia.
Conclusion
The creation of laws based on United Nations agendas in Australia involves a two-step process: ratification of treaties followed by the need for domestic legislation. The current lack of a national Human Rights Act presents challenges in fully realizing these international commitments within the Australian legal framework.

A traitor within is worse than an enemy without – although they’re both bloodsucking leeches of the lowest order.
Word is… Greens co-leader Chloe Swarbrick narked on New Zealand to the United Nations recently, claiming the government was refusing to pay “billions” for “carbon credits” and that “action” should be taken by the UN to make NZ pay… or the planet gets it!
Can’t find any journalistic reporting on the matter (which happened in April) though here’s a word or two straight from the horse’s mouth, champing at the bit and frothing like a demented creature:

Chloe, another spoiled schoolgirl batting for her own team went to uni then straight [cough!] into politricks of the Red/Green fashion, shortly thereafter gaining No.1 position to be shared with another radical [Maori] woman. It’s all about ‘the workers’ and one-for-all right? Except –

Labor Prime Ministers Rudd and Gillard were planning an emissions trading scheme for Australia and the first step, despite Gillard promising there would be no carbon tax under a government she led, was Carbon Tax 10% (and hidden Renewable Energy Surcharge 10% in Service to Property Charge both later abolished by Abbott Liberal National Coalition Government).
After implementation of Carbon Tax the Minister Greg Combet was being interviewed on radio and he admitted that the Carbon Tax was the first step before joining Australia to the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. He also confirmed that 10% of Carbon Tax revenue was being sent to the UN as a donation.

The last thing we need is to send more money to the UN to pursue even more power and influence for these con merchants and liars.

The UN is NOT a Nation State. It has no Taxation Powers. End of Story.

Well, one way to unite nations is to undermine them and cause their collapse leaving the remnants ‘united’ under a central authority.
Thing is, this dog seems woefully unfit should it ever catch the car.

The name “greenhouse gas” is totally wrong, a greenhouse has a physical barrier that stops the interior hot air from rising and the cool air from entering. The so-called “greenhouse gases” are actually radiative gases that absorb heat at particular wavelengths depending on their molecular composition and re-radiate that heat back into the environment. They do not add any heat, merely pass on heat already in the system from the Sun as do all molecules.
The UN is using this scam in an attempt at gaining control over the World. UN Secretary-General was formerly President of Socialist International ie a Communist, who wishes to take control of all of our lives. Communism is merely the old Feudal system whereby the Chairman is the equivalent of the King, the Party members are the equivalent of the Lords and Ladies and the rest of the population are the serfs forced to do as they are ordered.

The tithes that bind us…
50
I’m pretty sure Trump will oppose this travesty.
The UN imposes Nothing upon the USA without the consent of the USA, ratified by the US Senate, and signed by the President.
Here’s 4 plausible options:
1. US laughs at the UN, publicly and often.
2. US establishes a UN Tariff upon any shipping or aircraft entering the US at twice the UN levy.
3. US to UN: Go and stuff yourself, we aren’t playing your game.
4. US: USA withdraws from the UN, stops all monies to UN, closes the UN HQ in New York City, and sells the property to investors.
Likely more options, but you get the general idea.
120
I am certain President Trump will oppose this.
Albo will go along with it, of course.
80
Trump withdrew US funding to the WHO early this year, citing a lack of transparency and mishandling of the pandemic as major reasons. That’s about 12-15% of its budget. This latest raft of proposed carbon taxes could simply be seen as the UN trying to balance the books.
50
It’s fundamentally different though. The UN normally has to get the money through governments which supposedly answer to the people. By taxing direct, the UN becomes a government that answers to no one. In theory, the billions could be used to set up a police force or army that would collect taxes from reluctant payers.
This is a big step towards the UN becoming a World Government. And if it starts, it will only grow.
250
Point taken. I was getting at the idea that defunding has motivated the UN to seek alternative routes to gather money. In February, Dr Tedros stated:
“The pandemic taught us that no one is safe until everyone is safe,” Tedros said. “Solidarity is the best immunity. Without predictable and sufficient financing, the world will not be ready for the next global health crisis.”
Tedros has also mixed this funding concern with climate change in similar statements (for double the fear factor). He recently lamented a lack of funding after the Hondius hantavirus outbreak (which only killed 3 people despite the excessive MSM coverage). He has recently emphasised that the US and Argentina dropped out of the WHO.
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/hantavirus/who-officials-hantavirus-cases-outbreak-ship-not-another-covid-19
I’m guessing his seemingly failed attempts to get certain countries to re-enter the WHO may have caused the UN to lose confidence in acquiring funds (and executive power) via their health extension.
If the health stream of revenue isn’t working as well as expected, maybe the UN has just repositioned and placed more of its chips on doomsday climate change scenarios to siphon funds from independent countries.
20
It’s a long way further than a just the IMO and ICAO grabbing taxes on transport emissions.
The UN is currently in the process of creating a transnational taxation system under the Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation. The original idea behind this was to generate ‘sustainable’ income for developing nations – a wealth redistribution system that would make Marx wonder.
https://financing.desa.un.org/unfcitc
It appears that this process has been extended from tithes on developed economies to climate taxes on fossil fuel producers and personal taxes on the very rich.
The Grauniad approvingly explains:
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/01/fossil-fuel-firms-may-have-to-pay-for-climate-damage-under-proposed-un-tax
“Progress on the tax treaty, which was first proposed by African countries in 2022, has been slow so far. The US has withdrawn from the talks, though this need not prevent other countries pressing ahead.
If it can be made to work, the treaty could be a big step forward in making fossil fuel producers pay for the damage they cause, and in ensuring the richest contribute.”
One curious aspect of this philosophy is that responsibility is allocated to producers of a product rather than users who knowingly and willingly burn the dreadful stuff. It’s almost as if nobody really wants a consumption tax because they have no intention of reducing consumption of fossil fuels.
It would be great for America, with the world’s supply of rich and successful taking up residence to avoid handing their wealth over to despots and wastrels.
80
I’m sure that Australia, being fanatically compliant with UN decrees, will happily comply.
This of course will be on top of the carbon taxes already paid by the top 200 biggest companies under the Safeguard Mechanism.
110
Just think how many extra Labor-voting Canberra public serpents will be required to administer these new taxes.
80
Or rather, think how many Golden UN career paths will suddenly appear that influence current Australian Dept heads, bureaucrats and politicians.
It’s another way to buy compliance.

Hi Jo, have you seen the news that Chinese windmill parts illegall contain asbestos?
Breaking in UK
50
Hi Scott, we found asbestos in brake pads in our wind turbines last year. Obviously it’s illegal here too. Presumably that was a risk for staff riding in the lifts inside the turbine which use brake pads. No one can trust anything coming in from China.
120
The use of fossil fuels has no significant effect on climate change. The climate has always changed hence the various geological periods. It is due to the continually changing temperature gradient between the Poles and the Equator as a result of the changing intensity of the Sun’s radiation modulated by the passage of the Moon and the planets between the Sun and the Earth. As the Sun’s radiation is at or near horizontal at the Poles, it makes little difference to their temperature which determines their CO2 sink rates. Meanwhile the maximum temperature change at the Equator means effervescence of CO2 from the sea surface, that is, the rise in temperature of the Equatorial zone causes the rise in CO2, NOT the reverse. The solubility of CO2 is inversely related to the water temperature.
The April 28, 2025 paper “Greenhouse Gases and Fossil Fuels Climate Science” by two of the Worlds eminent physicists Richard Lindzen and Willian Happer make this quite clear but the media have avoided informing the public for their own reasons.
60
What seems to be missing is that Climate Change is no longer for debate in any government. It is legal fact. Everyone else knows that it is a hoax when not a single prediction came true in 40 years. The 50 foot rise in sea level was predicted 40 years ago. Even 300 foot, drowning the Harbour Bridge was considered possible by Robyn Williams, the ABC science guy. And the actual increase? Close to zero.
But the UN has worked incessantly since 1988 to sign ‘binding’ agreements which are referenced by legislators. So as far as any government is concerned, it is not for debate. So it is never debated, not in any parliament in the world.
My original comments were to prove that by a single measurement it is absolutely false, wrong, a lie. But the UN doesn’t care. Nor does any socialist government, but it a licence to spend money without limit and even without parliament. Malcolm Tunrnbull and his $444million is not questioned. The need for a ‘national’ grid, costing trillions, not billions. Taxes buried in roads (excise), electricity(Green coupons), diesel/kerosene/coal(Safeguard Mechanism) and ZERO reporting to parliament. Even a billlion dollars for a water pipe to Gladstone, just completed and Andrew Forrest just walked away. Utter waste.
Meanwhile the Federal government has also grabbed all the water, robbing the farmers in the Murray Darling basin despite the fact that Federation explicitly forbid such a thing under section 100. Even the Gordon Dam, stopped by pretending it was overseas, not in Australia. Judicial Activism.
And the handing of 52% of the land including mineral rights below the surface to aborigines. The new settlers have no such rights. You have to pay aborigines to mine Australia, not the Australian government.
So it’s over.
The only hope is a revolution. Chuck the bastards out and repeal everything, going back to Paul Keating’s use of Mabo to give the country away. The High Court’s seizure of control of all the water and handing it to the bureaucrats of Canberra. And on Lucy Turnbull’s website, aborigines now own the huge entire Great Barrier Reef as their ‘overseas nation’ when they couldn’t swim and had no boats.
110
As Dennis pointed out, some of the $444milion has turned up. $52Million given to aborigines who own the Great Barrier Reef too? A gift from Malcolm and Lucy Turnbull and friends.
“The Great Barrier Reef Foundation extends its deepest respect and recognition to all Traditional Owners of the Great Barrier Reef and its Catchment as First Nations Peoples, recognising past, present, and future generations to come.”
So now a Reef which never comes closer than 16km to Australia is now owned by the aborigines and they control the ‘catchments’ areas as you can see on the map.
This is what you get for handing Lucy Turnbull and friends $444Million without reference to parliment and without application or planning. It is being used to do whatever they like and clouded into the whole aborgines own the lot scheme. And Torres Strait Islanders of course, leaders past, present and future.
The madness is utterly out of control. Apparently the Federal government has only started to pay aborignes to rent the Great Barrier Reef.
110
Aborigines not only own Australia and all the minteral rights, “For more than 25 years, Traditional Owners from across the Reef have been coming together to explore and call for a collective approach to achieving their rights and aspirations for ownership, access to, and involvement in the formal governance and management of Sea Country. ”
As the Great Barrier Reef is 2200km tall and up to 250 km wide and at least 18km off shore, it seems that there is now a place called “SEA COUNTRY” which needs ‘formal governance and management’.
I doubt any Australians have ever heard of SEA COUNTRY. I suppose it will need an aboriginal name soon, as the Great Barrier Reef is not a traditional aborigine name from the days when aborigines used to fish the reef as custodians. And they never set fire to it at all.
110
I’ll bet no one has ever heard that there were ‘Traditional Owners of the Reef’. Sovereignty was never ceded, apparently. Even 160km offshore and up to 250 km wide the Great Barrier Reef was the property of Stone age people who could not swim or sail. It’s a wonder there’s any reef left!
120
These would be the same “custodians” who illegally sell dugong and turtle meat from the reef?* (They are allowed to hunt them for personal use, but even that involves extreme barbaric cruelty.**)

And go scuba diving and spear fishing without bag limits for abalone because that’s their traditional right. It’s just absurd. And in the high plains hunting deer with telescopic sights when Australia had no deer. Again a traditional aboriginal pasttime.
110
The UN has got serious competition. Islam also has aspirations for one world government, Ummah, which would be under Sharia. Between these two relentless pushes to enslave people there doesn’t seem to be much room for freedom and individuality.
80
We have to respect their traditional right to enslave everyone and own everything. It’s only fair.

The Left/UN are the useful idiots of the Saracens and both have an interest in the destruction of Western Civilisation, hence the Red-Green Alliance (and the Green does not refer to the Gaia worshippers in this instance).
But once the Left have helped the Saracens get into power, the Saracens will kill them too just as happened in Iran in 1979 with further killings of the Left under a Khomeini fatwa in 1988.

This is all long past woke. It’s Communists who have worked out how to control democracies through their election system.
The key was not to control the Labour parties who were mainly communists anyway, but to control the Conservatives.
There is no way the Australian Liberal/Country party represent conservatives. Angus Taylor worked for energy companies and was Emissions minister when Scott Morrison signed us up to Net Zero. Angus rode in on Tony Abbott’s coattails and was part of the group who tossed him out the window at the first opportunity. Now we are to believe Angus is a conservative? Ha! Energy Banker more like it.
There is just so much work for Farage and Hanson to do. First all those laws have to come down. And those UN agreements ripped up.
And Malcom and Lucy should return what they have left with full accounting. It was never their money. And look at Paul Keatings racist law of 1988 based on Mabo. And the High Court seizing Federal control of all the water.
If we spend any money, it should be on making us drought proof and energy self sufficient and nuclear as fast as possible. We need AUKUS. It’s our only hope to stay independent when the Chinse navy is cruising off our coast live firing their weapons systems for no apparent reason.
150
The UN began with such promise – to stop wars. Now it pays little attention to conflicts and focuses on Israel as the global evil for the miseries of the Middle East caused by the surrounding Islamic nations.
It has moved beyond it’s original purview and sees itself as the global arbiter of what countries can and cannot do. But they have no power here.
While we have Australian governments who sign away our rights (Rome Statute, Health, Agriculture, Indigenous Rights) we look like sycophants, encouraging their power grab.
80
I agree entirely. I’m in Israel and being here really highlights just how true that is.
And Albanese regime government hostility to Israel and the exploding antisemitism there, doesn’t go unnoticed here.
But Australians are still happy to use Israeli technology inventions, apparently.
Indeed, Australia continues to IMPORT military equipment from Israel such as from Elbit Systems and Rafael Adanced Defense Systems, Australia just harms itself by banning defence EXPORTS to Israel.
80
I am surprised at the number of Jews who are against Israel. And vote for those who are so against Israel. I have no idea whether these are secular Jews or not. And whether their view that Israel is a racist country has any merit at all. But it is very difficult to understand when the whole country and its people are under endless threat of annihilation why anyone at all thinks that might be a good thing? In Australia the Adelaide Writers festival cancellation with Louise Adler? It’s incomprehensible. And in the US, the position of the NY Sulzberger family, six generations as owners of many US mastheads including the NY Times, perhaps the most anti semitic paper in America? Why?
And this topic has almost pushed Climate fantasies off the front page, the most obvious being Greta Thunberg who is now as enthusiastically anti Jewish as she was anti Carbon. Why? Along with all the other Greens who used to be environmentalist and have segued to NAZI socialists applauding the Holocaust. What is the connection which attracts such people? Why is hating Jews part of the Green story? And Climate Change?
It’s about as strange as every European country tactily accepting that Iran should have nuclear weapons and two stage ICBMs. Not their problem. Are the old Axis countries Italy and Germany, Spain and France now part NAZI and part muslim extremist? While trying to reduce emissions? Or are they all now so afraid of their muslim minorities aligned with old Fascists and Climate crazies? Even the UK position does not make sense. Or is it just the complete undermining of small government Conservatives by these organizations, the European Union and the United Nations, supra National governments which are looking more and more like communist dictatorships

The zionist occupiers are committing genocide, not of just some people, but of the direct descendants of the biblical people of Judea and Israel. There cannot be a worse crime for anyone who supposedly gets their religion from the bible, yet it is not just condoned but actively supported. That is an utter disgrace.
I am really sick to death with those who continue to support an ongoing genocide.
210
I’m a bit tired of the hyperbole myself.
If advanced civilizations wanted to commit genocide, you’d think they would have found a way.
Maybe the people wanting genocide are the ones that Fired Over 7,000 Rockets, Missiles, And Drones At Israel Since March

“When I came to President Trump, I told him, ‘We are going into Iran. I did not ask permission. I simply informed him.'”
Those were Netanyahu’s words during a speech on Wednesday at the Muni Expo conference for local officials in Tel Aviv.
Netanyahu also said he was told, “This is impossible,” and “not to do this.”
But Israel, knowing Washington has historically backed them no matter what, and that any escalation in Iran would put American forces in harm’s way, knew full well this would drag the U.S. into the war.
9 million people…tell America what..to do….9 million rule the West….and the maniacs in the E.U.
14
Netanyahu has his own spin. He needs to look brave and in control for his own political battles.
If Israel controlled America the war would have looked very different.
The Iranians are deliberately provoking Israel to stress test Trump.
The US supports Israel for many reasons, including that the Israelis use American weapons and test them and provide live feedback directly to the Pentagon about real-time bugs and features.
50
To Iran, since 1979, the United States has been the Great Satan and needs to be destroyed. Israel is the Little Satan. How clear do they have to be? They are not shy.
Only Barack Hussein Obama thought otherwise, that they were good people at heart who just needed a lot of cash and the freedom to deveop nuclear weapons and totally dominate the Middle East. Which is presumably why he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Jimmy Carter, who part engineered the overthrow of the Shah, also won the Nobel Peace Prize, possibly for putting Khomeini and the IRGC in power in the first place. And lost his job and retired in disgrace after trying to rescue American citizens from his kind friends in Iran.
Only Trump has taken them for who they openly and clearly say they are, the mortal enemies of the US and every other Christian country, as if they have not made that very clear with Iranian sponsored muslim terror attacks in nearly every country. And they have made it clear that even their close Shiite friends in Qatar need to be bombed. Houthis, Hezbollah, Iran sponsored oil money funded murders are around the world.
2017 International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons “for its work to draw attention to the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of any use of nuclear weapons and for its ground-breaking efforts to achieve a treaty-based prohibition of such weapons”
Barack Obama signed a nuclear treaty and Iran promised to be good and not develop nuclear weapons. They lied, but he also qualified for the Nobel Peace prize.
Donald Trump will never win this prize, because it goes to people on the extreme left who give mass murderers like the IRGC free rein to murder tens of thousands of their own citizens and attempt to destroy whole countries.
As for the EU themselves, they won it in 2012. “Nobel Peace Prize 2012 “for over six decades contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe”
You can see their idea of Human rights at work in Northern Ireland, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and even Australia. According to the EU and UN, Climate Change is the problem, not peace and nuclear weapons.
And blaming the murders at Bondi on Muslims or Iran is Islamophobic.
