Normies strike back

Normies strike back. Cory Bernardi’s maiden speech in the South Australian Parliament with comments by George Christensen.

Well said.

Calling for accountability on covid:

“They locked us down, they silenced dissent, they imprisoned citizens, and they forced people to take dangerous and experimental injections. … The slogans were pure political propaganda, and our political class trampled on our freedoms and ruined our economy because of the flu. It was all BS.” …

Naming the “midwit managerial class”:

“The midwit, of course, is the most dangerous person to be in charge of anything… the midwit is of average intelligence, but believes themselves to be a genius and exceptionally insightful.”

The bureaucrats. The policy consultants. The government-funded experts. The professional class that never misses a paycheck while lecturing everyone else about sacrifice.

Bernardi’s critique wasn’t simply about intelligence. It was about arrogance detached from consequences.

The modern obsession with race, sexuality and grievance:

I make no apology… for being tall, straight, white, and a traditional man. …

“Most people don’t care about what colour your skin is until you start blaming those with different skin for your own problems. …

“Tolerance of that celebrated difference became exploited for political gain.”

The political class insists people are endlessly divided by race, sex and identity. Ordinary Australians mostly just want competent government and affordable electricity.

Gender ideology:

“Men can never be women, or vice versa. …

“The media are silent while the government allows doctors to mutilate children in the name of gender affirming care.”

Bernardi is willing to say in parliament what many politicians are too frightened to say publicly. And that matters politically because the public mood is shifting.

Conclusion:

His broader argument was unmistakable:

  • Government has grown too large.
  • Bureaucracy too powerful.
  • Citizens too controlled.
  • Truth too policed.

And he believes Australians are reaching breaking point.
