🔥 Andrew Bolt EXPOSES Green Energy FAILURE — Albanese Govt CAUGHT in SHOCKING Reality!

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]The fascinating press conference today from the boss of Woodside, the gas giant telling a hard truth about this government's green energy revolution.

[00:00:09]You know, it's actually criminal how we have let climate husters and panic merchants freak Australians in this mad crusade to scrap our coal fired electricity system and try to run this country on wind and solar power instead.

[00:00:23]I mean, you just take this prediction on the ABC, this warning just 9 years ago, which was stupid then and embarrassing today, >> actually suggesting that by uh 2024 1.5 degree increase um is on the cards now, which puts us very close to the critical.

[00:00:43]>> That's and that's a prediction of of the models, but actually in the first the early months of 2016 have already shown that. So, so we don't know how 2016 is going to continue, but that that is a worrying problem >> because what would happen if we reach 2%.

[00:01:01]>> Oh, there are some um shocking predictions actually that you see where where places in the in the Middle East, for example, that are already experiencing temperatures sometimes in excess of 50° I think this year um become essentially uninhabitable for certain periods of time. It >> didn't happen. There's been a little warming, but the Middle East hasn't become more uninhabitable. I mean, what a clown. It is shameful that ABC journalists pedal such alarmist nonsense and that our electricity system is now being wrecked by politicians who believed it. And now even this Labor government is freaking that his green energy revolution is actually collapsing. We're running out of power.

[00:01:42]On Monday, the Queensland government actually scrapped another wind project.

[00:01:45]Locals hated it. And today, the Albanese government finally said yes. after 3 years of delay and denial to extending Western Australia's massive Northwest Shelf gas project for another 40 years.

[00:01:57]And Woodside boss Me O'Neal was very blunt on why it had to do that. The green energy transition isn't working as planned.

[00:02:07]>> I think over the last couple of years, the conversation in Australia has moved to one where there's greater recognition that uh one, we need to manage the pace of the energy transition. The renewables roll out is not going as fast as had initially been anticipated and we need to make sure that we're tackling those cost of living pressures. People saying my energy bill is too high. Uh natural gas and increased supply of natural gas is part of solution part of the solution to help bring those power prices down.

[00:02:38]Joining me is Ran Dean, editor and chief of the Spectator Australia, host of Outsiders every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. and host of his own new show on Sky and Fridays at 700 p.m. Busy man. Uh Rowan, that prediction, you know, that oh parts of the Middle East by 2024 will become too hot to live in. It's true temperatures, average temperatures re, you know, risen slightly, but humans are so much more adaptable than these catastrophists think. Especially, by the way, Rome, when they have lots of fossil fuels like oil for their energy. What do you make of this?

[00:03:11]>> Well, that was of course Brian Cox, who was uh along there with Tony Jones. They were the two kind of heroes of the uh of the left back in the Q&A days. Uh Brian Cox is a was in a boy band or a pop group in the 1980s and then he realized that um his talents lay elsewhere and he became an astrophysicist with the TV program explaining Einstein uh to the kids and so on and he was very fond of these great apo you know the apocalypse is upon us now these great predictions of these terrible things that were going to happen um 1.5° increase sea levels are going to rise and the trouble with all those predictions Andrew is none of them have ever come true. Now, where is Tony Jones uh or indeed Sarah Ferguson or others at the ABC? Why aren't they going back through those old predictions and making TV shows saying, "You know what? We weren't we we weren't told the truth.

[00:04:07]Those predictions were wrong. That's not what's happened at all." And this fancible nonsense. Oh, it might get to 50° somewhere in the subsahara in the middle of the Middle East. I've got news for you. It can get to 50° in the middle of Australia. I know. I've been there on a film shoot. It's hot. And guess what?

[00:04:22]The Middle East is known for its heat.

[00:04:25]Uh so these sorts of insane predictions which were made all the time to justify the whole energy scare. And by the way, wasn't it great to see Malcolm Roberts sitting there with a kind of beused look on his face? Who's Who's correct now 10 years later? 10 years later, who's correct? Malcolm Roberts, not Brian Cox or Tony Jones. But Andrew, it's great to see the energy bosses finally speaking up. Me O'Neal made a very good point that uh all the kids, all the teenagers, all the young people uh who criticize fossil fuels run around doing so with their iPhones, ordering their uh you know their clothes from Timu. Uh all of which requires uh fossil fuels to get them to them. They all order Uber Eats, by the way. Most young people would rather order from Uber Eatats and have the fossil fuel delivered uh uh food to their sources rather than actually, you know, walk down to the shops and maybe buy some food and cook a meal. Uh we also had Kevin Gallagher, CEO of Santos this week saying that more and more Australian companies and we've heard this before from others would rather be investing overseas than invest in Australia. Now that's a really worrying development, Andrew.

[00:05:34]>> Oh, it's very worrying, Rowan. Um it was also I thought it was interesting like Susan Lee I think her heart is in you know following going along with the the climate change flow. Uh but that said I think she's recognizing some brutal realities that the net zero target is forcing us to do really stupid things losing whole industries like the nickel industry uh like most of the fertilizer industry like the industrial glass industry losing them because of cost of power. She did leave it open to the coalition today to eventually say no to net zero depending on which way the wind is blowing. That said, this is promising.

[00:06:14]Uh promising, but it's not nearly enough. Now, we've had this kind of the Liberal Party has doomed itself to opposition uh by playing footsies with net zero, trying to have it both ways.

[00:06:24]We saw this uh you know, with Morrison, we saw it with Dutton. Obviously, the rot set in with Turnbull, but this idea that you can kind of pander to the climate cult and go, "Oh, yeah, we're worried about, you know, doing our bit for the planet, but at the same time say, oh, we're going to uh look after uh, you know, manufacturing and so on."

[00:06:43]I'm sorry. It's either or. And that's what the coalition fails to understand.

[00:06:48]It is either or. And the Australian people would either choose a government that goes net zero or goes against net zero. The next election will be about this. Uh the IPA done some great research. 56% of Australians want affordable uh energy. They're not interested. Only 21% of Australians are interested in all this virtue signaling nonsense. Now, it's critical. I'm sorry.

[00:07:12]Susan Le has to come off the fence. The coalition have to come off the fence.

[00:07:16]They've got to say sorry to all those renewable investors who seem to be pulling their strings. All the lobbyists out there, they've got to say no. We are saying no to net zero. We are out of net zero. We will oppose it vigorously between now and the next election because the Australian people deserve that choice, Andrew. So, I don't quite share your optimism. A few words about, oh, wouldn't it be nice to see some we got to look after manufacturing? It's not enough. It's just not enough. This country is going down the gurgler on every single economic measure you can can come up with and it's got to be stopped and the only way to stop it is to abandon net zero. Andra, >> well, I just think that she will need to go through a process uh to show people that she's gone through a process and she will need her team to come up with all the arguments and she'll need to convince some of the uh the global warming go along with the flowers in her party to embrace net zero. That's a long lot of work still ahead of her before she can come out there and reveal herself as climate skeptic or you know net zero skeptic. Anyway, uh King Charles went to Canada to open its parliament yesterday. This is the first time British monarch has done that for nearly 70 years. And you can see why he's wheeled out. It was told Donald Trump he couldn't make Canada America's 51st state. It's not for sale.

[00:08:38]The crown has for so long been a symbol of unity for Canada. It also represents stability and continuity from the past to the present.

[00:08:51]As it should, it stands proudly as a symbol of Canada today in all her richness and dynamism. As the anthem reminds us, the true north is indeed strong and free.

[00:09:07]Now the uh heroan the king Donald Trump refused uh to take the king's subtle no for an answer just hours after that speech said by the way Canada has a choice. You pay the US government $61 billion to be protected by America's new golden dome missile defense or you become America's 51st state. Where do you think this debate is going?

[00:09:34]Andrew, I've long warned that King Charles uh will spell the end of the monarchy. He could even spell the end of of you know the Commonwealth. He is such a disaster as a king. I'm sorry. I'm a constitutional monarchist by heart, but this bloke is doing such damage to everything all the constitutional monarchies around the world. Part of his speech, yes, okay, he tried to tick off uh Donald Trump, but part of his speech was basically a welcome to country type thing. uh a Canadian version thereof in which he was saying, "Oh, well, you know, Canada is unseed land by the such and such a tribe." Uh he's going to come to Australia and he'll do the same thing. You watch Albanese, he'll drag him out here and he'll stand, well, he's already done it once almost. He'll stand there and he'll say that this is uh you know, unseated land. And I'm sorry if the monarch, the constitutional head of our constitutional monarchy says that this isn't kosher, if you like, our land, then we are saying that our laws do not apply. Our laws are not valid. Uh our property rights are not valid. The damage this bloke is doing uh is unfathomable. and what he said there.

[00:10:41]Seriously, if I were a Canadian, I'd be going, you bet I want to be the 51st state because the alternative is being in this kind of no man's land where we don't belong to anything because uh the property belongs to the Al Gangquin tribe or whatever. And let me say maybe Australia should be looking at being the 52nd state because this is where we're going with this endless endless tearing down of the very fabric, the very foundations of what was our colonial commonwealth. And unless unless we wake up, we're going to be in the same problem.

[00:11:11]>> I've got it. But Rowan, I don't understand why if he says, and he did, he said, "This is unseeded land." Why in the same speech does he keep calling himself the king of it? I mean, seriously.

[00:11:21]>> Well, he can't be. And that's the point.

[00:11:22]He can't be. The guy's not very bright.

[00:11:25]He's not very right. But the damage he's doing is incalculable. And And seriously, >> we'll see.

[00:11:32]>> That's my opinion. Andrew Bolt thought this was going to be just another discussion about climate policy. Another day, another debate, same talking points. But nobody told him. This time the narrative was about to fall apart in real time. Because what you just heard wasn't just criticism. It was a complete breakdown of the green energy story that Australians have been sold for years.

[00:11:56]This is not just politics anymore. This is reality hitting back. And it started with one simple truth. The predictions didn't match what actually happened. 4 years people were told that entire regions would become unlivable. That temperatures would spiral out of control. That disaster was just around the corner. But fast forward to today and those same claims. They don't look like warnings anymore. They look like exaggerations. And that's where everything began to shift because now even the people at the center of the energy industry are saying it out loud.

[00:12:31]The transition isn't going the way it was promised. Not fast enough, not cheap enough, and definitely not stable enough. And right there, the entire narrative starts to crack. No denial, no confidence, just a growing admission that something isn't working. When the government itself starts approving long-term gas projects after years of pushing renewables, that's not strategy.

[00:12:56]That's a course correction. And everyone can see it. Energy prices rising, projects getting scrapped, public frustration growing. This isn't theory anymore. This is pressure. And here's the part they don't want to say too loudly. People aren't asking for slogans. They are asking for affordability. Because when energy bills go up, reality kicks in fast and suddenly the promises of a smooth transition don't feel so smooth anymore.

[00:13:25]What makes this moment different is that the shift is happening in public, not behind closed doors, not quietly, but right in front of everyone. And once that shift starts, it's very hard to stop because now the question isn't whether the plan sounded good, it's whether it actually works. And if it doesn't, then everything built on top of it starts to collapse. And if this trend continues, this won't just be a policy debate anymore. It's going to become a political turning point. Because governments can defend ideas, but they can't defend outcomes forever. And right now the outcomes are speaking louder than anything else.
