Opinion: Desmond Houghton says Labor campaign reminiscent of Kremlin propaganda

Labor’s campaign about Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plants and fabrications about cuts to Medicare are reminiscent of propaganda practised by communist regimes, writes Des Houghton.

Are we witnessing the Sovietisation of Australia?

The outrageous Labor lies about Peter Dutton’s nuclear power plants and the fabrications about cuts to Medicare are reminiscent of the crude propaganda practised by communist regimes.

And it’s worse than that. In true Soviet fashion, the federal election became a Dutton smear campaign. In true Soviet style, his office was attacked and his family threatened.

Perhaps the biggest lie of all came with the net-zero obsession. Those brainwashed by Labor-Green falsehoods should look at the nationwide blackouts in Spain and Portugal caused by an overreliance on renewable energy.

So what can we expect in Labor’s second term? No doubt, a continuation of the environmentally destructive and uncosted strategy to cut through precious farmland and rainforests to lay 28,000km of transmission lines for unreliable wind, solar and hydro renewables.

Labor operates in an integrity vacuum.

I fear Anthony Albanese is about to do to Australia what the Palaszczuk-Miles government did to Queensland.
