It makes you want to weep for Australia.
Here we have Tasmania’s largest farm — Rushy Lagoon, a massive 22,000-hectare of prime, productive, irrigated land that has been a powerhouse of beef and dairy production in northeast Tasmania for decades.
And now it’s being deliberately shut down for dodgy “carbon credits” — worthless pieces of paper peddled by grifters, spivs, and rent-seeking parasites in the name of Net Zero so they can profit while the nation suffers.
Just when you think it can’t get any worse — congratulations, Australia — our taxpayers are being forced to fund this insanity with $69 million.
That’s right. Chris Bowen’s Clean Energy Finance Corporation is pumping $69 million of our money into the deal to become a minor shareholder in the destruction of productive farmland.
Think about the level of this insanity. $69 million of Australian taxpayers money is being used to help a foreign company buy Australian farmland and shut it down.
It’s no different from Luddites buying a factory and smashing the productive machines with sledge hammers.
At this is happening the exact moment Australia’s productivity is collapsing and living standards are in freefall, Labor’s priority is closing down real, productive agriculture.
This is economic sabotage.
With this decision today, Australia is a poorer, weaker nation.
Productive land is taken out of commission, food production is hit - so we’ll pay higher prices at supermarket and taxpayers foot the bill so the carbon credit scam industry can flourish.
I weep for what Labor and Anthony Albanese are doing to Australia.
They are vandalising our productive economy, enriching their mates, and driving us into decline — all while lying that this is “progress.”
Enough.
Australia deserves better than this destructive, ideologically deranged government. If they are not voted out at the next election, the Australia we‘ve known and loved will be gone forever.

Tasmania’s largest farm has been sold to a foreign corporation who will destroy it for “carbon credits”.
The sale was approved by Labor Treasurer Jim Chalmers today, Wednesday 8 July.
The loss of 22,000ha of productive, irrigated farmland currently supporting dairy, beef and previously sheep is a hammer blow to Tasmanian and Australian food security.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said he believed the sale was “not contrary to the national interest”.
As if it isn’t bad enough it’s being sold to a foreign corporation, it won’t even continue on as a farming operation.
Chalmers and this Labor government have allowed their obsession with net-zero to put Australia’s food security at risk.
Our ability to feed ourselves is clearly in the national interest. Destroying productive farmland for scam “carbon credits” is an act of national self harm.
In the middle of a cost of living crisis, how much will this decision put up the price of cheese and milk? How much more expensive will steak or mince be when Australia stops producing it ourselves?
One Nation’s plan for cheaper groceries and national food security is clear. Ditch net-zero which is destroying productive farmland. Ban foreign ownership of farmland (and housing). Get Australian farmers back to farming and putting affordable groceries on the shelf.
One Nation has always opposed foreign ownership of farm land while Labor’s war against Australia’s world-leading agriculture sector continues. Australia is already a net importer of fresh food, seafood and dairy and this is only going to make matters worse.
Australia must be self-reliant and able to feed ourselves. Jim Chalmers and Anthony Albanese think we can eat solar panels and carbon credits.
This decision is a national disgrace.
Labor enshrines Welcome to Country in party's platform in response to One Nation surge.
A strange move politically given the national mood but ok! 😂

@TracyWesterman You seem to know a lot about psychology. I'm not sure how much you know about economics, given that you imply Labor's costings are worth anything. They did not model the downstream impact of their crazy CGT grab. Stay in your lane.
Labor's project to hijack the Australian economy for corrupt union bosses is becoming relentless.
Legislation opposed by One Nation but rushed through by Labor and the Greens enables the Albanese government to discriminate against businesses which don't have EBAs backed by their union boss mates when awarding contracts and grants.
The criminal CFMEU and other unions now have an effective chokehold on almost all government payments.
It's no wonder that productivity is in freefall.
Don't get me wrong. Unions have their place. Workers need representation when it comes to pay and conditions, although most choose not to be union members.
Only about 13 per cent of Australian workers are union members. Workers need to ask themselves whether unions truly represent their interests or just those of Labor and corrupt union bosses.
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has been instrumental in exposing the CFMEU's direct involvement in wage theft from coal workers in the Hunter Valley and Queensland since 2019. Labor don't want you to know this.
At the federal level and in that economic basket case we call Victoria, Labor only pays lip service to evidence of massive corruption in the CFMEU and infiltration of that organisation by organised crime.
The bell is tolling for the Allan Labor government in Victoria.
The latest RedBridge/Accent survey published today shows the Premier's net favourability is at minus 42 and One Nation has overtaken both Labor and the coalition on primary votes for the first time.
One of our first priorities in Victoria will be to put in place the measures which will expose and end the CFMEU corruption enabled by Labor and restore confidence in the building and infrastructure industry and deliver accountability for taxpayers' dollars.
Albo and Chalmers are wrong.
The almost 10m people who own assets other than property will neither forgive nor forget this massive broken promise, right up to the next election.
Vote the ALP out in 2028. They are economic vandals.
“No one is going to forget this. The negative impacts are only just starting,”....“Once the eight million direct shareholders understand the tax changes, they aren’t going to vote in favour of this, they will support the Coalition or any other political party that repeals it.”
“In 2018, the illogical franking credits policy took us two years to educate people on. This will be the same thing.” This insane new CGT must be stopped. @mcranston1
She was born as a female, then transitioned to male.
That still wasn't enough - now she wears a dog collar and a muzzle.
Now you tell me this isn't a mental illness that requires full treatment in a mental institution?
Labor lied before the election, betrayed Australians on Budget night, and did a dishonest deal with the Greens that will mean new taxes on housing, savings, investment, small business and younger Australians.
Labor = Lies.
Wealth taxes, unrealised gains taxes and punitive CGT rates don't create prosperity. They punish saving, investment and entrepreneurship.
Australia's wealth was built by people taking risks, starting businesses, buying farms, investing in housing and building companies — not by governments redistributing accumulated capital.
When politicians run out of other people's income, they come after other people's assets.
The result is always the same:
🔹 Less investment
🔹 Lower productivity
🔹 Slower wage growth
🔹 Capital flight
🔹 Fewer opportunities for young people
🔹 Bigger government and more dependency
Inequality is not solved by making everyone poorer. It is solved by making it easier for ordinary Australians to accumulate wealth of their own.
✔ Lower taxes
✔ Smaller government
✔ Sound money
✔ Home ownership
✔ Business formation
✔ Strong property rights
Labor taxes aspiration. Libertarians want to spread ownership.
A billionaire tax is not a new social contract.
It is simply another way for governments addicted to spending to avoid reforming themselves.

You can’t keep blaming memes and social media for how despised you are.
Your budget’s a disgrace! Squeezing every last cent out of Aussies while you flood the country with mass migration that’s wrecking housing, wages and everything else.
You won’t call out the genocide even though the UN has.
You’ve failed on cost of living, energy, and basic leadership.
You’re just a shit Prime Minister, completely out of touch.
Stop crying about the internet, mate. Look in the mirror - this mess is all yours 🫵🏼
