    Clubbing koalas is a great, honorary, Australian tradition.

    I mean, how would we make koala soup? K fries? Kwala beer?

    We need them to be clubbed for the finer things in life.

    Why, my grandpapa used to club at least a dozen on his way to school, and get a thruxpunce for the fur, a few tippen for their eyes, and a whole fwarthing for their gall bladders.

    They were the days.

    Damn you woke greenies, leave our club sports alone!

    Importantly, despite criticisms of Labor’s involvement, the project and its management plan were approved under the former Coalition government of Scott Morrison.

    “Shame on you for not fixing our mistake!”

    Bloody Koalas partying all night on drugs, clubbing themselves to death. We need a Liberal government to post police at every club and strip search these buggers. Especially the 13 year old girls koalas in NSW.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Following a recent address in which Treasurer Jim Chalmers flagged greater action to reach Australia’s renewable energy goals, the federal government has been accused of slaughtering koalas in its quest to achieve net zero emissions.

    On social media, grisly claims took flight after Nationals MP Keith Pitt used a radio interview to highlight the construction of a wind farm whose environmental plan includes provisions to euthanase the iconic animal where necessary.

    The Liberal Party suggested federal energy minister Chris Bowen was behind the plan with a Facebook post reading: “Wind farms killing koalas: euthanasia will be conducted using blunt force trauma.”

    William Ellis, an expert in koala habitat management and research fellow with the University of Queensland’s School of Environment, told CheckMate that “we shouldn’t be planning for a catastrophic injury to any animals” and that the euthanasia information was not “a great look”.

    Claims about the spray being “toxic” appear to stem from social media posts and videos that point to a product safety sheet showing that “Apeel” contains chemicals that can cause eye damage and allergic skin reactions.

    Meanwhile, conspiracy peddlers such as InfoWars host Alex Jones have criticised the product due to the involvement of Bill Gates — who has at various times been accused of planning to depopulate the world or disrupt global food supplies.
