Senator Pauline Hanson slams UN report and calls for Paris Agreement exit

MEDIA RELEASE

Senator Hanson has slammed a UN report on the Paris Climate Agreement targets as alarmist rot and renewed her call for Australia to withdraw from the controversial agreement.

The UN report calls for rapid, far-reaching and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society and claims that unless the world ended virtually all its coal fired electricity generation the Great Barrier Reef would not exist in 22 years.

Senator Hanson accused the United Nation of trying to fear monger and bully Australia into shutting down its economy and called for Australia to immediately withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement.

“By refusing to do what is right and continuing to bow to the demands of the United Nations, Scott Morrison has proven why he was Malcolm Turnbull’s pick for Prime Minister,” Senator Hanson said.

“Australians have had enough with the United Nations’ bullying, fear mongering and their propaganda.”

“If the recommendations of this report were followed then hundreds of billions of dollars would be ripped from Australia’s economy, our mining industry would be destroyed, thousands of Australians would become unemployed and communities across the country would be wiped out.”

“Any political party that was serious about representing the best interests of Australians would condemn this report, condemn the United Nations for their bullying and alarmist tactics and get out of the Paris Agreement today.”
