He called for a national summit to come up with new ideas for managing bushfires.“The government’s policy on climate is being held to ransom by a group of deniers within the party and in the media and other sections outside the parliament. Therein lies the problem,” the former prime minister said.Another former Liberal leader, John Hewson, has“Morrison’s got a particular prejudice. And it is a prejudice.
He highlighted the federal government’s contribution to developing “aerial firefighting assets”, saying it had put an additional $11 million into that area this year because it knew Australia was facing a “very difficult fire season”. “It’s led by a Cabinet minister who reports directly to me, and I deal with it directly with the premiers of the states and chief ministers of the territories. I don’t think it can go any higher than that,” Mr Morrison said.“Do you think that national co-ordination is happening adequately? There are a lot of concerns about how long volunteer firefighters are supposed to continue volunteering without pay. They are crowdsourcing funds for water and food and resources on the ground.
Mr Morrison was once again asked whether the government would consider paying volunteer firefighters, whose task keeps dragging on. “We are constantly looking at ways to better facilitate the volunteer effort, but to professionalise that at that scale is not a matter that has previously been accepted and it’s not a matter that is currently under consideration.
“I support an industry that provides jobs and provides tens of billions of dollars worth of exports, tens of thousands of jobs and the energy that this country needs,” the Nationals leader told reporters in Mackay.
ScottMorrisonMP Death by media stupidity and bullying
ScottMorrisonMP Why? Australia is already a carbon sink. OCO2 satellite data has shown it. I absolve you of your guilt, can we not commit economic suicide now?
ScottMorrisonMP What a load of crap
ScottMorrisonMP Stop arsonists and the crazy green policies, and problem solved!
ScottMorrisonMP narrative
ScottMorrisonMP Do more? How about do fucking something.
ScottMorrisonMP if people stop lighting the fires there would be no more bush fires
ScottMorrisonMP Clap harder please chubby
ScottMorrisonMP He can resignMorrison
ScottMorrisonMP Anyone for a coup?
ScottMorrisonMP This is absurd, and not addressing the real issue, why are morons lighting fires? And why have we got so bad at removing fuel load?
ScottMorrisonMP Der
ScottMorrisonMP Fires have been around for century's they are unpredictable and start with dry lightning or idiots this event has not just started as a climate change
ScottMorrisonMP Sure....he controls the weather above our heads. He can make bushfires stop. He can make it rain. Seriously people, you need help. Climate change is real but you’re barking up the wrong tree. Lack of perception is embarrassing.
ScottMorrisonMP Bullshit.
ScottMorrisonMP He is hopeless
ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish
ScottMorrisonMP How short sighted this government is. How blind to reality. How under the thumb of the fossil fuel and coal industries. We are truly doomed with this government running things.
ScottMorrisonMP Wow bunch of c u next Tuesdays who don't believe in climate change.
ScottMorrisonMP What is he supposed to do?
ScottMorrisonMP All Liberals see is the opportunity for private Fire fighting services.
ScottMorrisonMP Do more? How about do something!
ScottMorrisonMP We all assume that his thoughts and prayers are to assist the drought and fires. Maybe his prayers are for more fires to teach us all a lesson about the power of his god. Maybe Morrison is properly insane.
ScottMorrisonMP Isn’t it interesting that the fires all line up with a proposed high speed rail line running Brisbane to Sydney and the Labor Party stopped back burning the year it was proposed?
ScottMorrisonMP Scomo, Turnbull TurnbullMalcolm didn’t have to deal with this shit but your party is cunning and full of wheelers and dealers who cut him out! Deal with it champ!
ScottMorrisonMP Oh but it's storming in Brisbane. There's no such thing. Offyatreemate
ScottMorrisonMP Useless gripes. Pathetic.
ScottMorrisonMP What smoke? Was clear today.
ScottMorrisonMP Time to resign - you are so uninspiring as a leader of this nation quitnow
ScottMorrisonMP Like what
ScottMorrisonMP If a fire sparked on his street....how would that play out
ScottMorrisonMP In fact.....yesterday certain groups were screaming about Sydney being absolutely blanketed in smoke - 'NOT NATURAL', 'CLIMATE CRISIS' they cried. Yet today.....blue skies. Y'know what fixed things? The wind picked up. Yesterday - no wind. Go figure.
ScottMorrisonMP Pressure from WHO ? The loudest voices ? The last damn election was almost solely fought by Labor on Climate Change - and they lost. This madness because we have some bad bushfires...ENOUGH.
ScottMorrisonMP Yep. The PM can borrow a magic wand from Turnbull or Labor and with one wave, make it all go away. What errant stupidity.
ScottMorrisonMP This is society these days, I want to see the manager
ScottMorrisonMP How about all these hippies who attend 'rallies' aka 'protests' actually do something productive with their time, like volunteer to be a firefighter and so some good in the community instead of sponging off tax payer dollars with their Centerlink benefits?
ScottMorrisonMP These articles are ridiculous, we’re 25 million out of 8 billion we can’t control the weather even if we all went vegan and went 100% renewables
ScottMorrisonMP If the teardrops and climate change cultists want to really change the climate, they need firstly to figure out how to change the earths orbit around the sun, and secondly work out how to prevent solar flares.
ScottMorrisonMP Oh please. How can 'doing more for climate change' stop a drought, or wind, or maniacs with matches?
ScottMorrisonMP Err...what more can be done for bushfires? Shut down all coal power stations? Maybe ban all combustion vehicles whilst we're at it? Sounds like dictatorship
ScottMorrisonMP Our happy-clapping PM from the Eastern suburbs, I mean “the shire/ the Bronx” - your smirking smug face doesn’t fool us. Get a clue and bring in the help we need to get these nswfires under control, and an actual action plan for our country. where isGladys NotMyPrimeMinister
ScottMorrisonMP This is not about the bloody labor party, stop deflecting & listen to the people who do matter - your constituents & not the damned lobby groups.
ScottMorrisonMP where is he
ScottMorrisonMP Those who think that the bushfires are related to climate change should consider Tasmania's Huon Valley holocaust, having occurred in a much colder climate. The fires are featured in Outback Truckers Season 7 episode 2. Just as extensive and devastating as NSW & QLD.
ScottMorrisonMP Jail the Greens and all their cohorts who have maliciously stopped proper management of our forests and bush. Nothing to do with climate change. That is a con to divert attention from decades of deliberate green sabotage.
ScottMorrisonMP Shouty shouty shoutface the great waste of oxygen
ScottMorrisonMP wheresgodnow
ScottMorrisonMP Pressure mounting on News copy pasters to mount pressure on the PM. He must be soooo scared. 🙄
ScottMorrisonMP What a load of shit
ScottMorrisonMP He doesn't care about the fires, rfs funding or climate change. Thought that was clear. Far more interested in religious freedom and dinner with mates
ScottMorrisonMP It’s not climate change it’s the greenies not allowing burn offs, FFS climate change is BS!
I hear another prayer coming
ScottMorrisonMP That bastard has done nothing. He is failing us all. Why does he still have a job.
ScottMorrisonMP No it is not. The media and lefties are not important. Keep up the good work Scott
ScottMorrisonMP Pressure from who? The lunatic vocal fringe ? Not enough of them to matter they're just very loud. Ignore idiots like Sam Scott. Keep doing what we elected you for.
ScottMorrisonMP We need the ignorant boomers to retire before we see any action. I think it will be a 20 year wait in this backwards white man run stuffy country before we are lead by a true leader. These grey haired white boomers are too proud to admit their past mistakes to make a change
ScottMorrisonMP The absolute state of at the moment. Genuinely nuffie journalism now with a few notable exceptions.
ScottMorrisonMP Let’s all blame the government for all those deliberately lit fires hey
ScottMorrisonMP Yes its about time he clicked his fingers and stop climate change.
ScottMorrisonMP No pressure only from some
ScottMorrisonMP You mean the bush fires that where deliberately lit 🔥
ScottMorrisonMP Maybe the Greenies are lighting the fires deliberately to make a case for climate change! With their fucked up mentality it's certainly a possibility!
ScottMorrisonMP The “pressure” is from a tiny group of extremely loud & bigoted people. ScottMorrisonMP please ignore those bullies. Spending billions of dollars on emissions will make ZERO difference to smoke in Sydney or climate ❗️ auspol sydneysmoke smh
ScottMorrisonMP What a load of hog wash - controlled burns offs in winter to reduce fuel load. But environmental departments all over the country make it very difficult for these to occur
ScottMorrisonMP Can he part the sea and lead us to the promised land?
ScottMorrisonMP We have drought bc there’s been no rain. Australia doing more about climate change won’t fix the drought or the raging bushfires. Better fire management & planning, better water management, more firies & appliances & better drought & contingency planning is at front of my mind
ScottMorrisonMP He is flat out scrubbing shit out of his undies
ScottMorrisonMP The best think Smoko can do is resign! And take his rotten government with him by calling an election! That would be the single most important decision that he would ever have made!
ScottMorrisonMP He's nudging Abbott to take the title of our shittest PM
ScottMorrisonMP Send some more thoughts amd prayers mate W⚓️
ScottMorrisonMP If anyone actually believes Scott Morrison is to blame for these fires, they are complete morons. Even if this was worse than ever which it is not, there is nothing humanly possible Scott Morrison could do. Do people actually believe this
ScottMorrisonMP What will end up happening is he'll go too far to the other extreme, piss everyone else off (and possibly even some believers who may not have wanted excessive action that effects them adversely) and nobody is left happy....and he still cops criticism. Not that he's much chop...
ScottMorrisonMP And what about the arsonists
ScottMorrisonMP City, regional & 1st Nation citizens are rallying across this nation to support those already affected by climate driven bush fires, to take community & business action on reducing carbon emissions & to address effects of climate change. ScoMo just fiddles on his religious bill.
ScottMorrisonMP How many times do these stupid Climate Nazis, need to be told, Australia cannot reduce global emissions or change the climate. It just can't ! I reckon they are that f..king stupid, they don't understand what that means.
ScottMorrisonMP Best he could do is tell the greenies to fuck off and get the firies to do more back burning during winter.
ScottMorrisonMP Is God cross at New Zealand as well isrealfolau
ScottMorrisonMP MoreIndigenousRangers simple
ScottMorrisonMP Duh . Religion yo
ScottMorrisonMP The biggest con job in the last 1000 years. The ministers, bueracrats and scientists responsible for this are not fit to serve the public due to gross mismanagement of the forests and red tape stopping farmers doing their jobs.
ScottMorrisonMP Based on this unhinged logic they should also blame Jacinda Ardern for the volcanic eruption!
ScottMorrisonMP
How about we educate people not to light fires as 87% of them are deliberately lit
ScottMorrisonMP Pullout of the Paris Agreement. Argue the facts to the Australian people that our emissions are irrelevant and we cannot change the temperature of a planet. Mandatory sentencing for leftwing protesting that causes disruption.
ScottMorrisonMP How about we look at the Greenie Councils that don't allow winter burning and don't allow clearing around your own house -- again with the distractions get to the root cause of why there is so much fuel on the ground
ScottMorrisonMP like any Prisoner on Death Row...you can't judge him, only his Son of God, can...
ScottMorrisonMP H.A.A.R.P
ScottMorrisonMP Can he make it rain Awesome! Can he come around to my place this weekend? My new turf needs a watering!
ScottMorrisonMP Pressure is mounting on ScottMorrisonMP to do more to address tectonic change, as volcano crisis continues.
ScottMorrisonMP Seriously? To have any effect today we would had to deal with the issue 50 years ago. And without China and India reducing their emissions we are just posing in the wind..
ScottMorrisonMP He's useless .. end of
ScottMorrisonMP And what can he do to change the climate?
ScottMorrisonMP Fairly certain the bloke can’t make it rain
