Matt Canavan Begins Toppling Cooper's Gap Wind Turbines As First Act As Nationals Leader

The rein of Matt 'The Italian Stallion' Canavan has begun with a bang today.

The Queensland Senator who has risen to the top of the National Party of Australia has kicked off his leadership in style, with a symbolic and significant move in his home state.

The man famous for his hatred of renewable energy (which has absolutely nothing to do with his connection to the mining industry) has ushered in a new era by changing the landscape of the Western Downs.

Making his first call after winning the Nationals Leadership ballot, Canavan reportedly ordered that the Cooper's Gap Wind Farm immediately come down.

With an army of cheap migrant labour on standby, Canavan Facetimed in as the first of the turbines on the wind farm outside of Dalby came crashing down.

"You can take your Net Zero, and you can take your economic mismanagement, and you can shove it where the sun don't shine!" laughed Canavan.

"Which is probably where you lot will try and set up solar panels," he laughed.

"But there's a new sheriff in town, and all those towers will be coming down by the end of the day."

While the pulling down of expensive infrastructure built to shore up our power supply ahead of a looming energy crisis seems illogical, Canavan says he won't be stopping with Coopers Farm.

"The whole state of Queensland will be purged of this shit," said Canavan, smashing a small prop solar panel to make his point.

"The new age is here."

More to come.
