Sky News host Peta Credlin says Australia’s energy security is under threat because of energy policies which aim to “win over the UN” at the cost of our sovereignty.

Ms Credlin said China has damaged Australia and the rest of the world “courtesy of COVID-19” but the communist regime is about to “damage us more” in the name of combatting climate change.

“China pretends to take climate change seriously, just as the old Soviet Union claimed to be devoted to peace and freedom, because dictatorships always play on the gullibility and wishful thinking of democracies, needing to believe that, deep down, dictators aren’t so different from us,” she said.

Beijing though has made “no effort whatsoever” to reduce its emissions to the point where it even opened “three times as much coal fired capacity as the rest of the world combined”.

“Enter Joe Biden, the new US President, who’s desperate to be different from Donald Trump, and who’s re-entered the Paris Climate Accord to appease young voters brainwashed about a climate emergency,” Ms Credlin said.

“Biden’s posturing will be used to justify even more economy-sapping emissions cuts here in Australia.

“Australia, well we’re the mugs who do what we say, but get treated like pariahs anyway, and get more and more duped into making ourselves economically and strategically vulnerable.

“This China pandemic has inflicted the biggest economic hit on the rest of the world since the Great Depression.

“The danger is that having been whacked by COVID, we’re now going to inflict even more economic self-harm in the name of climate change.”
