Alberta Premier Danielle Smith inspired a petition before the Australian government to create a “Defund Davos Act.”
Petition EN4591 directly quotes comments Smith made last year.
“Until that organization [WEF] stops bragging about how much control they have over political leaders, I have no interest in being involved with them,” the petition quotes Smith as saying.
It cites the fact that no referendum has been held on the WEF’s involvement in Australia’s affairs.
“Based in Switzerland, the World Economic Forum (WEF), a corporate-dominated, unelected, independent, non-governmental group that advocates for centralised, undemocratic power and global governance through environmental, economic, agricultural, technological, and education – climate change has also been weaponised by the WEF as a pretext for enacting the ideas of its “Great Reset” doctrine,” it says.
“The WEF is able to push its progressive social agenda through deep partnerships and personnel overlap with the world’s leading corporations relying on the private sector to implement WEF-sanctioned policies, including social credit scores and digital banking, government officials are also crucial to the group’s mission.”
The petition received 5,796 signatures upon closing in December and was presented before the Parliament of Australia this month.
Having earned enough support to make it before the government, it will now require a minister to respond.
Specifically, Australians are asking the government to create a “Defun Davos Act” similar to legislation recently introduced in the United States.
The law would cut any funding to the WEF via the Department of State and other international relations bodies.
“No funds available to the Department of State, the United States Agency for International Development, or any other department or agency may be used to provide funding for the World Economic Forum,” reads the US bill.
Smith also called the WEF’s operations “offensive” and an attack on freedom.
“I find it distasteful when billionaires brag about how much control they have over political leaders,” said Smith.
“That is offensive…the people who should be directing government are the people who vote for them.”
