The big question for Premier David Crisafulli is how to deal with Labor and Greens’ latest, treacherous Environment Protection Reform Bill 2025 and related bills rammed through the senate last week which effectively takes control over the entire Australian landmass including Queensland.
responding to the United Nations:
“I don’t answer to you, I answer to
Queenslanders.”
Queensland Senator Malcolm Roberts has recognised the effect of the 700 pages of unconstitutional gobbledegook calling it an “affront to Federation.” He is correct according to Constitutional analysts who have pointed out a federal government cannot legislate to take control over land of the state without just compensation.
The big question is, does the LNP realise what Labor is trying to do with a legislative directive from the United Nations designed to control land use in Queensland and Australia through external powers?
Former Country Party Premier Joh Bjelke Petersen was not afraid to take on a Labor government over state’s rights in the 80’s.
In the case Koowarta v Bjelke-Petersen and others; HCA 1982 Queensland v Commonwealth, the validity of the Racial Discrimination Act and ‘external powers’ were questioned. Senator Roberts said in his opposition to the Environment Act being passed that the Act was an “affront to the Federation and a misuse of external powers.”
The HCA found in the Koowarta case: “This majority for a broad reading of the ‘external affairs’ power establishes that the Federal Parliament has constitutional power to pass laws in respect of a range of matters that might not otherwise fall within its competence, at least if Australia is a party to a relevant, international agreement, and possibly (in some circumstances) even if it is not.
“For example, article 11 of ILO Convention No. 107 relating to tribal and semi-tribal populations states that ‘The rights of ownership, collective or individual, of the members of the populations concerned over the lands which these populations traditionally occupy shall be recognized’. If Australia were to ratify that convention, the Commonwealth Parliament’s power to legislate for land rights in the States would be enhanced, though it would probably still be bound to provide just terms’ under Constitution s.51 (xxxi) for any ‘acquisition of property’ that would be involved.”
The UN Agenda 2030 Convention to which we are a signatory, therefore binds Australia to UN control over land use, although it could be argued the people were never asked if they supported any treaty with another country or the UN.

In other words the Commonwealth is obliged to provide just terms for the acquisition of the entire land of the State of Queensland over which it now claims to have jurisdiction.
The bankrupt Federal Labor Government doesn’t have a spare $50 trillion to pay for Queensland. PM Albanese just gave President Donald Trump the last $1.44 trillion of spare cash in Australia’s superannuation funds. The national cupboard is bare.
Premier Crisafulli charged in parliament recently the United Nations doesn’t tell him what to do.
Will Crisafulli then take on the Labor socialists over their claimed ownership of the Queensland land mass and how much it should pay?
Would he then conduct a referendum of North Queensland people to establish a new state of North Queensland?
