Climate 200

Yeah, and Helen came from the voices for Indi and the voices of as like a manifestation of independent politics in Australia was and always has been quite different to the Teals.

I know Teals don't like to be called Teals, but people associated with Climate 200.

And certainly you watched, so she obviously came after Cathy McGowan.

Mm-hmm.

Probably a couple of grants.

Backed maybe by Climate 200, Mike Cannon-Brooks, all these communist billionaires on the left side of politics that no one calls out because the only billionaires in politics that give money are the right side and Gina Reinhart.

Let's just go after her.

Didn't

And this is... oh, this is a lobby group.

Let's go donate this much to this lobby group and get them.

And when they sit with, you know, Dr. Jim or they sit with Penny or they sit with whoever the climate 200 one is in there, Bowen, is Bowen? I don't know.

One of

... sitting independent member moves on.

And also, the fact that she won that in 2019 meant that when Climate 200 came along, got that wave of teal independents elected to Parliament in 2022, Helen Haines was already in Parliament and was part of the template they were following.

And just over the years being a journo and talking to people who've covered that story like, like Rachael Withers, who's been on the program, or just other people who've spent time around the climate independents, it sounds like Haines quite genuinely was not someone who used that veteran status to tell the climate independents what to do or to say, "I'm gonna be the leader.

This is how you should vote," that kind of thing.

Had you had much to do with her?

Look, Helen Haynes was one of the original Climate 200 independent MPs and Indi had a very rich history with independence with Cathy McGowan in regional Victoria.

And Helen, hands down, is one of the loveliest ladies here.

One of the most non-offensive, has a nursing background and has just thoroughly loved both in this building and at a regional level.

They're employees of the Australia Institute.

They're getting backdoor money from Climate 200, or they're connected to the green billionaires that want to suppress us.

I mean, everyone always pays out Gina Reinhart, but at least she doesn't want to come for our speech like this.

These other guys that are funding Climate 200 and the Australia Institute, I mean, they are like Australia last, these guys.

At least Gina, she's our own billionaire.

You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yep.

Uh, you know, some of them are probably already working for Climate 200, and they're just gonna hammer you-

Yeah

... nonstop.

A-as Stavros says, Gary, if we can see all this net zero is going to harm everything we do, who is pushing us down this path? Albo's just too stupid to come up with this on his own.

So my question is, how much pull has this Climate 200 mob got? No, no, th-they're just simply grifters.

Uh, all of these people.

I, I mean, it was so amusing to watch the climate conference in, in Fiji blackout.

Go, go, g-go without power the other day.

Uh, I think we've got to remove the parliamentary power from all of these people.

The Climate 200 people, the Zali Steggalls a-and so forth of this world, the Greenies, they've all gone mad.
