1/This week, @CraigKelly got a slap on the wrist by the PM for his dangerous promotion of quack COVID treatments. But Morrison & Co. have allowed him to spout misinformation and conspiracy theories for years without calling him out. These are only a few of his comments…
2/In 2018, he travelled to Azerbaijan and claimed they have “a coherent democratic process.” A country that declared the result of their election the day before the actual election! So Craig had a trip funded by foreign $, cuddles up to dictatorships and authoritarian regimes who
3/who spend their resources undermining democracies around the world. Who’s side is he on?
4/ He denies science. In 2019, he stood up in federal parliament and said "today's generation is safer from extreme weather than at any time in human history."
5/During last summer's bushfire crisis he said there was "no link" between climate change and the bushfires, that claimed many lives and destroyed thousands of homes. He said people were exploiting the tragedy "for ideology".
6/In January he made false claims about the violent insurrection in the US Capitol being organised by left-wing Antifa protesters.
7/he failed to condemn the riots stating "what's the greatest threat to democracy, a small group of protesters overdoing it, and invading a parliament for a short period of time, and then leaving…?” He is an elected member why does he undermine and devalue s democracy?
8/Now he is peddling misinformation & conspiracy theories about Covid-19 and vaccinations. It’s a health risk. It diminishes and calls into question the role of our government health authorities and work that they do.
9/He takes his notes out of Trump's book, claiming Hydroxychloroquine is a viable treatment for COVID and promotes anti-vaxxer chef Pete Evans and his crazy claims that "self-love and hugs" work as a vaccine. And despite all this, he sits on the Parliamentary Science Committee!
10/He undermines science, he undermines democracy. He undermines health advice in a pandemic. He's got dictator despot mates.
11/ Even after receiving a 'dressing down' by the PM, he continues to spread Covid misinformation.  When is enough, enough?  Why does the Coalition continue to stand by Kelly?
