Anti-woke American Tucker Carlson issues an urgent warning to Australians, reveals his true opinion on ‘Welcome to Country’ and exposes our political leaders’ huge mistake

Tucker Carlson has claimed that Australian politicians responsible for enforcing strict lockdowns during the pandemic should be jailed, and has also condemned Anthony Albanese for allowing record levels of immigration into Australia.

The former Fox News host, who is on a speaking tour Down Under, said he was shocked by the restrictive lockdowns imposed on Australians and called for political leaders to be held to account.

‘Putting your own citizens in concentration camps is insane and I hope the people who did that go to jail for it,” Carlson told Daily Mail Australia.

The publication asked the controversial American commentator whether he would like to see former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews, who was nicknamed ‘Dictator Dan’ after he was responsible for one of the country’s toughest lockdowns, behind bars.

“I think anyone who puts their own citizens in concentration camps without trial has committed a crime and should be held accountable,” Carlson responded.

In this publication, the controversial American commentator was asked whether he would like to see former Victorian Premier Dan Andrews (pictured), who was responsible for one of the country’s toughest lockdowns, behind bars.

“And it’s shocking to me that this is even up for discussion, and my sense that Australia is not an expert is that this isn’t even a topic of public conversation anymore, when it should be.”

He added: ‘I don’t understand Australia, I’m not Australian, but I just can’t believe this happened and I can’t believe the people who did it got away with it.’

Carlson, who is attending the Australian Freedom Conference at the invitation of mining billionaire Clive Palmer, also took aim at Mr Albanese and his government’s record on immigration.

Last week it was announced that a record number of 500,000 migrants, half of whom are students, will enter the country this year – a rate of 60 every hour.

‘I can’t stand it when foreigners come to my country and lecture me about politics and…’ I really try not to do that,” Carlson said.

“But you want a government in a democratic society to put its own citizens first and improve their lives in material and measurable ways, and any politician who advocates mass immigration is not serving his own people.”

Carlson continued, describing governments pursuing a policy of mass immigration as an enterprise pursuing a policy of mass immigration ‘expression of hatred towards their own people’.

“I would say that’s true in Australia. If you let a million people in in a short period of time, how does that help the people who live here?’ he asked.

‘That is not true. It hurts them. I think it’s an expression of hatred.’

The Conservative pundit also issued a dire warning about the threat from China to Australian citizens.

“China is the dominant power in the region and clearly already has a lot of control over your politics, and politicians are very cheap to buy and China needs the resources,” he said.

Carlson also denounced governments pursuing policies of mass immigration, describing this as an “expression of hatred towards their own people.”

“Australia has, what, 26 million people? China has well over a billion. You should be terrified of being dominated, of losing your sovereignty to China.”

When asked if he planned to attend a Welcome to Country ceremony, Carlson seemed momentarily surprised.

‘Smoking ceremonies? I wonder how that affects the climate, it seems like a lot of emissions to me,” he said after the cultural practice was explained to him.

‘I’m not against it. What I never want to participate in is a hollow political ritual, but I mean, I definitely appreciate other cultures, which is why I travel so much.”

Carlson said his only problem was with the Australian government, not the people.

‘I’ve met a million Australians over the course of my life and they are the funniest, warmest, most interesting and coolest people – me “I couldn’t have a higher regard for Australia and Australians,” he said.

“That’s why I was so offended by the COVID madness, because all countries are doing that, I mean, go ahead and do that in a primitive country, not in what is clearly one of the greatest countries in the world.”

He urged Australians to resist the rise of “wokeism”.

“Don’t let people attack you based on your race. Wokeism is anti-white politics and I think it’s immoral,” he said.

“I would think it would be immoral if it were anti-black politics or anti-Indian politics. I think racism is wrong and I thought everyone in the West believed that. I thought it was one of our core beliefs.

“But over the last decade, governments have made hatred of white people a kind of philosophical pillar, and they say it out loud, and I think that’s remarkable.

He added: “Demanding to be treated like a human being doesn’t make you a white supremacist.”
