Australian Politicians and the World Economic Forum (WEF)
As Australian leaders align with the WEF, are we seeing a shift toward elite-driven policies that prioritize profit over freedoms? Australia may be a global example of democracy's erosion.
In a world increasingly dominated by technocratic ideals, the World Economic Forum (WEF) has emerged as a powerful force shaping the global political landscape. Founded by Klaus Schwab in 1971, the WEF has been at the forefront of promoting globalist policies under the guise of addressing issues like climate change, systemic inequality, and economic inequity. However, beneath the surface, the WEF's ideology reveals itself to be deeply entrenched in authoritarianism, with alarming implications for the future of democracy. Schwab's infamous declaration that the WEF "penetrates the cabinets" of governments worldwide hints at a level of influence that borders on collusion, particularly in its push towards a technocratic future that undermines democratic values.
Australia, like many other Western nations, has seen its political leaders align with the WEF’s goals, often under the banner of global cooperation and economic reform. From Bob Hawke to Anthony Albanese, Australian politicians have increasingly associated with the WEF, participating in its events and, in some cases, advocating for its controversial policies.
Bob Hawke and Paul Keating: Opening the Door to Globalization
Bob Hawke, Prime Minister from 1983 to 1991, and his successor Paul Keating were pivotal in opening Australia's economy to the world. Their economic reforms, including deregulation and the floating of the Australian dollar, aligned closely with the WEF’s promotion of globalization and economic liberalization. These policies were seen as necessary to integrate Australia into the global economy, a key objective of the WEF. While these reforms brought economic growth, they also laid the groundwork for greater alignment with globalist agendas that would later manifest in more direct participation with the WEF.
John Howard: A Proponent of Free Trade and Economic Integration
John Howard, Prime Minister from 1996 to 2007, continued Australia’s alignment with WEF principles, particularly through his advocacy for free trade and economic integration. Howard’s government embraced policies that favored market liberalization and reduced trade barriers, echoing the WEF's goals of creating a more interconnected global economy. Although Howard was not a WEF Young Global Leader, his policies reflected a shared vision of economic integration that would further entrench Australia’s role in the globalist framework.
Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard: Engaging with the WEF’s Global Agenda
Kevin Rudd, who served as Prime Minister from 2007 to 2010 and briefly in 2013, was more directly involved with the WEF, participating in its annual meetings and advocating for global cooperation on issues like climate change. Rudd’s engagement with the WEF marked a shift towards a more explicit alignment with its goals, particularly in the context of international diplomacy and environmental policy. His successor, Julia Gillard, continued this trend, focusing on global education initiatives that aligned with the WEF’s emphasis on social equity and inclusion.
Tony Abbott: A Counterbalance to Globalism
Tony Abbott, Prime Minister from 2013 to 2015, represented a more skeptical approach to globalism and the WEF's agenda. Abbott was known for his resistance to climate change policies that he viewed as economically damaging and for his advocacy of national sovereignty over global governance. Although he did not align himself closely with the WEF, Abbott’s tenure highlighted the tension between national interests and globalist ideals promoted by the Forum.
Malcolm Turnbull: Championing Innovation and Technological Advancement
Malcolm Turnbull, Prime Minister from 2015 to 2018, was perhaps the most aligned with the WEF’s vision of a technocratic future. Turnbull’s background in technology and his government’s focus on innovation and renewable energy closely mirrored the WEF’s Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda. His participation in WEF events and his advocacy for technological advancement as a means of driving economic growth further solidified Australia’s alignment with WEF principles.
Scott Morrison: Navigating Economic Recovery Amid WEF Influence
Scott Morrison, Prime Minister from 2018 to 2022, found himself at the helm during the COVID-19 pandemic, a crisis that the WEF quickly framed as an opportunity for a "Great Reset." Morrison’s government implemented some of the most stringent COVID-19 measures in the world, including lockdowns and vaccine mandates, policies that were in line with the WEF’s advocacy for harsh pandemic responses. While Morrison did not publicly align himself as closely with the WEF as some of his predecessors, his government’s policies during the pandemic reflected the WEF’s influence on global public health strategies.
Anthony Albanese: A Continuation of the WEF’s Influence?
Anthony Albanese, the current Prime Minister, has maintained Australia’s engagement with the WEF, with members of his government attending WEF meetings and participating in discussions on issues like climate change and economic recovery. Although Albanese has not yet made a prominent public appearance at the WEF, his government’s policies on sustainability, gender equality, and economic reform suggest a continued alignment with WEF objectives.
For example, under Albanese’s leadership, Australia’s ranking in the WEF’s Global Gender Gap Report improved significantly, reflecting his government’s alignment with the WEF’s goals of promoting gender equality through specific policies. However, it is essential to emphasize that while these improvements in rankings may be celebrated by some, they also raise critical questions about the methods used to achieve them.
As a strong advocate for meritocracy, it is crucial to highlight that true equality in leadership and other roles should be based on the principles of merit, demonstrated experience, skill, integrity, and competence—qualities that are essential for any position, regardless of an individual's gender, race, or sexual preference. Selection processes should be blind to these personal characteristics, focusing instead on the objective qualifications and abilities of the candidates. This ensures that the most capable individuals are chosen for roles, thereby promoting genuine excellence and fairness in society.
The Role of Other Influential Australian Politicians
Beyond the Prime Ministers, other influential Australian politicians have also shown varying degrees of alignment with WEF goals:
Present:
Clare O’Neil, is a former Mayor of the City of Greater Dandenong and a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader.Now, the current Minister for Home Affairs and Cyber Security, reflects the WEF’s emphasis on modernizing and securing digital infrastructure, a cornerstone of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Sarah Hanson-Young, a Greens Senator, was named a WEF Young Global Leader in 2016, Hanson-Young has been a prominent advocate for environmental issues, human rights, and social justice, aligning closely with the WEF’s focus on sustainability and equity.
Andrew Leigh, a Labor MP, has been involved in economic reform discussions that align with the WEF’s objectives of promoting social equity and economic modernization.
Past:
Josh Frydenberg, former Treasurer of Australia, was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2005. His role in shaping economic policy and his influence within the Australian government align with the WEF’s emphasis on economic reform and global cooperation.
Greg Hunt, before serving as Health Minister, Greg Hunt held the position of Director of Strategy at the World Economic Forum. In this role, he was actively involved in shaping discussions related to global health and climate policies, highlighting his alignment with the WEF’s broader globalist agenda.
Mathias Cormann, former Finance Minister and now Secretary-General of the OECD, participated in WEF events, advocating for fiscal discipline and economic reform, key components of the WEF’s economic agenda. He was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2014.
Kate Ellis was named a WEF Young Global Leader in 2011. Her role as Minister for Employment Participation and Childcare aligns with the WEF’s objectives of promoting social equity and economic inclusion.
Andrew Bragg, a current Senator for New South Wales, was named a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader in 2022. He has been recognized for his contributions to financial services reform and his work on digital assets, aligning with the WEF’s focus on modernizing economic policies and embracing innovation.
The Broader Implications of WEF Influence
Klaus Schwab’s statement about "penetrating the cabinets" of governments worldwide raises critical questions about the extent of the WEF’s influence on national policies. The WEF’s vision of a technocratic future, where stakeholder capitalism replaces traditional free-market capitalism, poses a direct challenge to democratic values. This vision, which prioritizes global governance and the centralization of power, is at odds with the principles of individual liberty and national sovereignty.
But what does this alignment really mean for the future of Australia? Can we trust that these globalist initiatives truly prioritize human flourishing over profit? Or are we seeing a shift towards policies that may benefit a global elite while eroding the freedoms and economic opportunities of everyday Australians?
The WEF’s push for policies that curb personal freedoms in the name of environmental sustainability, such as those seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, exemplifies the potential dangers of this ideology. The promotion of the "Great Reset" and the idea that "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" are stark reminders of the WEF’s radical agenda, one that echoes the authoritarian and Marxist ideologies that have historically led to the suppression of freedoms.
Conclusion: A Call to Vigilance
As Australians, it is imperative that we remain vigilant to the influence of the World Economic Forum (WEF) and its potential to shape our future in ways that may undermine our democratic values and, more importantly, our collective human flourishing. The alignment of Australian politicians with the WEF, from Bob Hawke to Anthony Albanese, reflects a broader trend of integrating globalist ideals into national policies. While these policies are often touted for their economic benefits, the reality is that these benefits primarily serve the interests of the elite—whether they be capitalist oligarchs or neo-Marxist technocrats—leaving the common people with mere scraps.
This technocratic agenda, driven by an elite few, risks reducing our rich, democratic society into a mechanistic system where human values are subordinated to the cold logic of profit maximization. These policies, under the guise of economic progress and global cooperation, often lead to the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a select group, thereby deepening inequality and eroding the very freedoms that define our society. This is not just a shift in economic priorities; it is a shift away from a society that values human dignity, individual liberty, and community welfare.
The WEF’s vision, while dressed in the rhetoric of progress, often masks an underlying ideology that prioritizes the expansion of state and corporate power at the expense of individual freedoms. This vision, if left unchecked, could lead to a future where economic benefits are accrued by the elite, and the broader population is left to navigate an increasingly restrictive and controlled existence.
While this article has specifically focused on an Australian example, the implications are global. The complexity and interference in larger economies around the world are likely to be far greater, with even more profound effects on national sovereignty and individual freedoms. Australia’s experience serves as a microcosm of a broader, worldwide trend, offering a cautionary tale for other nations.
We must recognize that the seductive promise of a more efficient, technologically advanced society cannot come at the cost of our fundamental freedoms. It is crucial that we safeguard our liberties, ensuring that our government remains accountable to the people, not to a global elite. If we fail to challenge this influence, we risk waking up to an Australia—and indeed a world—that no longer reflects the values we hold dear—a society where economic and political power is concentrated, and the rights and dignity of ordinary citizens are diminished.
This is not just a call to awareness but a call to action. We must actively engage in the political process, advocate for transparency, and hold our leaders accountable to ensure that our future is one where human flourishing, not elite profit, is the guiding principle. The stakes are global, and the time to act is now.

I’m actually working on another WEF/Australia article with a number of prominent Australian doing a bit of bidding for Klaus. It would be good to get hold of those 200 names. As for police hierarchy being Masons. I’m aware of these allegation, but I’ve never been presented with any conclusive evidence one way or the other. But given the shenanigans going on in the open these days, it not hard to speculate that there’s some truth in them rubbing shoulders with the movers and shakers.
Excellent article, plain and erudite. I’ve been saying for a long time, we are in the biggest bait-n-switch operation in history. We are being told that the globalist want to electrify the planet into a renewable sustainable planet, whilst automating it into a corporate dystopia, making humans obsolete, on UBI from CBDC’s in a Uyghurs surveillance state, with social credits for proper behaviour and correct thinking. Of course you can vote, but like Venezuela, there is only one party.
