PM calls for changes to hazard reduction laws amid criticism of the Coalition's climate change policiesThe prime minister said Australia may need to review its hazard reduction laws as the country grapples with an “extraordinary” fire season. In NSW, nine people have died and the Rural Fire Service said 382 homes have been lost on the South Coast since New Year's Eve - and just under 1,300 homes have been destroyed across the state this bushfire season.
“Other issues of how you manage hazard reduction are important, because as you say, the impact, more broadly of climate change on these issues has a pronounced effect on the length of the fire season,” he said. That, equally then has a need to address issues around hazard reduction for national parks, dealing with land clearing laws, zoning laws and planning walls around people’s properties and where they can be built in countries like Australia, up and down the coast”.
ScottMorrisonMP This is factually incorrect as you might expect.
ScottMorrisonMP May!!!!!!!! Try taking the lead.
ScottMorrisonMP It’s like shutting the gate when the horse has bolted!! Trying to keep the greenies happy has destroyed so many peoples lives and animals!!! Shame on you!!!!😡
ScottMorrisonMP Climate change is a result of greed and over population before blaming anyone ask yourself this: do u use power, water, own electronic equipment, drive a car, use public transport etc we are all guilty, blaming others is so UN AUSTRALIAN
ScottMorrisonMP WTF, do you think if shorten was in power; anything would be different; even if we closed all coal plants, would be no change. What about when Australia lost 173 lives in Black Saturday- no one talking about climate change then!
ScottMorrisonMP Level headed response from a sensible leader. Lefties in melt down. Meh, makes sense 🤷🏻♂️
ScottMorrisonMP ScottMorrisonMP and his government are a hazard that definitely need to be reduced
ScottMorrisonMP I thought we were blaming greenies for all the buildup of bushland at ground level... Turns out the greens arent actually in charge, have little power and have played 3rd fiddle to the liberals control of hazard management in australia. Imagine that.
ScottMorrisonMP Idiot
ScottMorrisonMP I think the problem is that our PM has shown no empathy or leadership. I don’t think he has it in him & I don’t think he understands at all. He is totally out of touch & should go.
ScottMorrisonMP At what point do we get to start a coup? The liberal government has done nothing good for this country in their entire last few terms. If you want me, I'm in the shed building a guillotine
ScottMorrisonMP Talk to the hand or better still those who have lost everything
ScottMorrisonMP Think it might be the demise of the Greens
ScottMorrisonMP May need to ?
ScottMorrisonMP And make Arsonist pay big time
ScottMorrisonMP Each state is responsible for their own actions and needs to stop blaming every thing for these fires except their bad management want these forests, reserves etc look after them and maintain them history shows summer is fires be it from dead fuel arsonists, compost heat storms
ScottMorrisonMP Can’t help but think, what amount of pain does it take him to change? Seems to be no convincing Morrison that he’s been eating his own shit.
ScottMorrisonMP Cutting National Parks funding has helped exacerbate this -if the media don’t Point this out -well they are just LNP lackies or coal lobby frontmen
ScottMorrisonMP We are objecting to business as usual mentality re carbon emissions. We are objecting to the worst Climate Change action policies in the world and helping to derail Paris Agreement at Madrid COP25 in Dec. We are objecting to inflicting even bigger mega-bushfires in the future etc
ScottMorrisonMP Change any environmental laws that need changing, reduce red and green tape and screw the Greens.
ScottMorrisonMP Totally deflecting the blame away from himself into the states. Shameful tactics for a leader. And I for one am not buying it.
ScottMorrisonMP Sky, in the west we’ve had prescribed burning for decades. State run ..we are experiencing monstrous fires in places that have been burnt through the program. Maybe you could let smoko know this
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP Le Paris Bullshite Agreemente!!!! LeParis Bollocks!!!
ScottMorrisonMP not 'may' -- WILL have to review...
ScottMorrisonMP Time to step aside and let someone else actually LEAD! This attempt to recover from his lack of leadership in time of crises is just a Hail Mary PR stunt gone horribly wrong. Every action lately is just a knee jerk reaction to public criticism. No proactive decisions at all. 😢
ScottMorrisonMP More Murdoch snow job rhetoric
ScottMorrisonMP People real believe Australia reduction will make an impact in clima change? This is India, it's not fog.
ScottMorrisonMP What happened to fire trails in NSW that enabled Fire Fighters to get to the heart of a fires, where they could then create back burning and land clearing❓ Labor’s Bob Carr Minister/Premier removed fire trails, preventing access to those fire trails by the Rural Fire Service🔥🔥
ScottMorrisonMP ScoMo please lead our country. Make tough decisions and stand by them. Haters will hate. Bogans will blame the world for their problems.
ScottMorrisonMP Yeah bugger off Sky News, we know who you are. You’ve enabled this disaster by remaining on Morrison’s side. My suggestion is change your tact and send message that climate change is actually the threat not a ‘review of hazard reduction laws’ per your Murdoch rubbish auspol2020
ScottMorrisonMP How many f**king times does this have to be explained to you? The window for hazard reduction is shrinking because of climate change. Experts have told you this continuously. You can't hazard reduce if conditions aren't suitable and you lot keep cutting funding to these services.
ScottMorrisonMP Who
ScottMorrisonMP That Will Not happen Under Morrison’s WATCH
ScottMorrisonMP Scott Morrison is Controlled by the Same People That brought the End to Malcolm Turnbull
couchycraig ScottMorrisonMP Ya think?
mark_perry309 ScottMorrisonMP My only criticism of Morrison is he tries to appease everyone. The far left will just take apologies as weakness & just attack. The fires were either started by lightning, drought & lack of clearing undergrowth & arsonists. All these things need addressing later.
ScottMorrisonMP The people criticising the PM seem to think that leaving the coal in the ground and the fuel in the forests will immediately remove the bushfire threat.
ScottMorrisonMP I am sure more fire breaks are needed , yes this means some trees will have to go , a small sacrifice to save lives , animals and property .
ScottMorrisonMP Also review arson laws, specifically around environmental terrorism. Minimum sentencing of 10 years should be a start
ScottMorrisonMP He is exactly right, look at the evidence.
ScottMorrisonMP What are the greens saying ? Do they realise their policies are part to blame for the fast acceleration of these bushfires.?
ScottMorrisonMP 'May need to review' no PM MUST review !
ScottMorrisonMP What an ignorant piece of work
ScottMorrisonMP Global Warmiiiiing!!!!! and climate change...
ScottMorrisonMP Love how is pulling out all the big guns to shift blame away from the LNP, and it’s failing beautifully.
ScottMorrisonMP Now there is some leadership. Facts and actions not feelings. God bless u Prime Minister 😎👍 scomoismypm
ScottMorrisonMP Allow farmers & those who own rural properties prone to bush-fires to burn off dangerous brush or build fire-breaks, instead of listening to ill-informed Pantheists Greens or the sycophantic, intellectually bereft AustralianLabor . Can any human being change the weather? Thor?
ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP This way 👇
ScottMorrisonMP The prime minister has defended his government's measles policies, and says Australia may need to review autism laws as the country grapples with an “extraordinary” disease season.
ScottMorrisonMP Forget the politics, just step up. Imagine it was your family out there. Your parents. Your Children. Your home. Your community. Your livelihood. That's all it takes.
ScottMorrisonMP Please name the 200 arsolnists
ScottMorrisonMP Can you also look into which Deep State Globalists have been paying DomesticTerrorists to light these fires/+WWarfare? And why there are media articles pushing the UN Agenda2030 saying to keep Aussies safe from fires we should not have private land ownership in the future?
ScottMorrisonMP Our PM telling it like it is.
ScottMorrisonMP He’s a damn joke! Where is the defence force. Where are the bombers to drop water on this fire. There needs to be more. Who cares about states.. we are all Australian. Do Anything and everything to put these fires out!
ScottMorrisonMP Best to consult with indigenous communities and rangers, people who would be best aware of ways to reduce hazards.
KaushalyaFem ScottMorrisonMP auspol2020 ScottMorrisonMP can't just decide to change hazard reduction laws. Sure, they obviously aren't working and need revisiting. But this needs whole parliament approach. Need to take AlboMP on board with this, get the experts in and LISTEN.
ScottMorrisonMP FRO ScottyFomMarketing
ScottMorrisonMP Winning huuuuuge with ScoMo!!!! Doing an absolutely fabulous job!!!! Go ScoMo!!!!! The PM of the People!!!!!
ScottMorrisonMP Interesting reception at Cobargo. Expect that everywhere you go.
ScottMorrisonMP Stop asking questions about the emission reduction scheme which is a load of crap and corrupt! What about everything wrong we are doing in this country that has led to CC. LandClearing, Deforestation, Water Policy, Rice, Cotton, Genocide of our wildlife NO Environmental POLICY!
ScottMorrisonMP What policies!? ScottyFomMarketing doesn’t have any
ScottMorrisonMP Those dam greens! Oh wait
ScottMorrisonMP There's no problem with people who are a bit simple. But when you're PM it must be quite frustrating. You can't see what everyone else sees. Frustration turns to anguish then gnawing self doubt. 'Don't they get it' you say. But no ...It's you Scotty...haunted😈. 😀 👏 😀👏
ScottMorrisonMP Grow some balls and lead this country! Stop being an accountant and start making decisions because it’s the right thing to do not because it will be good for the Treasury!!!
ScottMorrisonMP P.M calls Houston .. only thing he calls..
virgotweet ScottMorrisonMP Called it. I knew they'd do this. Don't start treating the cause or nothing, just plough on punishing the symptoms
ScottMorrisonMP Smartest thing I've heard in a long time. Talk to the indigenous population and other experts get it done. People are blaming you for the last ten years or so where it has not happened.
ScottMorrisonMP Our council has had a hazard reduction program for years yet there are still fires.
ScottMorrisonMP Hazard reduction will do nothing to combat the real threat, climatechange. Smoke and daggers and your children will pay for this Scomo. Half a billion animals dead. Murdoch and all the minions have blood on your hands.
ScottMorrisonMP It must be a low point in life to be a journo for Sky credinbilityno justleave
ScottMorrisonMP Haha check this stuff out davidattenburro GretaThunberg this is the right wing media that has polluted Australia for years, the same media helped kill a carbon trading scheme. I would be surprised if the Great Barrier Reef doesn't die within 25 years UNFCCC
ScottMorrisonMP It's arson.
ScottMorrisonMP LISTEN TO THE EXPERTS YOU PAWN OF THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY. auspol
ScottMorrisonMP most councils don't know what those words mean
ScottMorrisonMP The RFS tried to get a meeting with them he outright refused I hope all Aus will see him for his failing as a leader
ScottMorrisonMP Anyone else hear a buck passing? auspol
ScottMorrisonMP Pathetic to see a party of Government blaming the greens who have never been in government for every problem. Take some responsibility for your own failure.
ScottMorrisonMP Ask the people on the land
ScottMorrisonMP Hazard reduction across the entire continent. Seems legit. Lol
ScottMorrisonMP Nothing to do with hazard reduction burns, so predictable from ScottyfromMarketing and this rupertmurdoch media outlet davidattenburro GretaThunberg fakenews Greens nature_org GreenpeaceAP WWF UNFCCC NotMyPM dwnews cnnbrk jacindaardern JustinTrudeau fuckmurdoch
ScottMorrisonMP Scott 'Honolulu' Morrison can't keep trotting out this business as usual, do nothing approach because too many Australians have a had a gutful of it...if he can't do his job he should quit and fail at something else.
ScottMorrisonMP no surprises there dumb
ScottMorrisonMP ScottFromMarketing has all the distractors. Hazard reduction burning now. FFS. Will we burn every square bloody inch of the country side to avoid a similar event? Monumental stupidity.
ScottMorrisonMP With that, the globalist sick evil agendas, pushing garbage, 'The agenda' continues! Never pander to this garbage Scott. Stand strong. You know, it's a scam, being used for evil purposes. The climate changes, humans can't do a thing about it, nor can politicians. God Bless.
ScottMorrisonMP It's just a hoax. Massive money making scam. ClimateChangeHoax
ScottMorrisonMP Good job ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP Might need to is that the best this useless leader. Can do .It has to the first priority .But as Morrison has always stated .We will not be rushed in any decision that affect our weak economy .
ScottMorrisonMP Time to get the how to vote cards ready as obviously this government can not see that without them changing there will be no change and this fire session will become our new norm... let’s remember this point in time and next election not fall for their spin
ScottMorrisonMP Your emission reduction policies are woefully inadequate.
ScottMorrisonMP All policies need review including climate change and what we are actually doing. Does anyone but the government believe we are doing all we can? What we need to do is send a clear clean message to all levels of government that our safety comes first not money not boats not party
ScottMorrisonMP To late for that, Govt were Warned For Years, & Govt did NOTHING.
ScottMorrisonMP The hazard reduction myth in all its glory utter BS, there’s too much to burn and too little days annually to achieve the nett result, classic red herring, regardless of climate belief the facts are the draught is real the bush is dry, only rain will put fires out
ScottMorrisonMP Maybe someone should have a look back in time to the disastrous fires after long drought in 1939 in vic and NSW. After a royal commission recommended hazard reduction temp 46.3c we've always had fires mmm also climate change?
ScottMorrisonMP Scotty flogmo Morrison ..No.. Winston Churchill..
ScottMorrisonMP Don't defend get on offense
ScottMorrisonMP Well done PM .
ScottMorrisonMP While we are at it can we review our entire emergency response communcations and fuel reserves. This is a timely warning on how long we can last if we lose access to our fuel reserves in South East Asia, and how we cope when mobile phones go down.
ScottMorrisonMP Our “Prime minister” is irrelevant
ScottMorrisonMP The NSW govt (NLP just in case you missed that) achieved all hazard reduction targets in 2019. What he is proposing is a witch hunt to deflect the blame off him.
ScottMorrisonMP Its not a question of we may need to review, its an absolute must, we have 3 tiers of govt administrating our forests & bushland. We need a national system, we need big vision to mitigate & cope through drought, my question is does Scott have that big nation building vision?
ScottMorrisonMP First step would be a change of government.
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP Scott you not wrong..
ScottMorrisonMP Sensible response
ScottMorrisonMP Maybe also stop selling water off instead of profiteering from it.
ScottMorrisonMP Criminals & a disgrace!
ScottMorrisonMP 1. Take away the fuel that feeds fires 2. Jail the criminal idiots that start them. Simple
ScottMorrisonMP Font build we within 100m of the bush.
ScottMorrisonMP Yeah, yeah, that should do it. These are shocking fires that are happening at the worst possible time and in the worst possible place. Now that all we can do is tough it out with what we’ve got, there’s no point in listening to more hot air from either side. Both aren’t helping.
KaushalyaFem ScottMorrisonMP His version of reducing fires is to cut down trees...
ScottMorrisonMP Sky let’s scomo do nothing pm off Scott free thus press conference was a disgrace
KaushalyaFem ScottMorrisonMP Good ol’ misdirection. These fires won’t stop for hazard reduced land. This party cut staffing and funding that would facilitate burns. There was little to no window to safely burn. You can’t burn everywhere. The laws are fine it’s the administration that needs changing.
ScottMorrisonMP ThisIsNotJournalism
briez63 ScottMorrisonMP As the saying goes. Better late than never. Don’t think about it ScottMorrisonMP do it!
ScottMorrisonMP Liberals 7th years in government but for every mass they created they always blame Labor. Come on gutless, grow up you are in government not in kindergarten
ScottMorrisonMP Denier.
ScottMorrisonMP Disband the Greens Party and put them and the mutants that follow them in a offshore detention centre far away where they can never come back for allowing the ground fuel to build up. They are responsible for the fires.
ScottMorrisonMP Well, as records state, some 86% of all fires are deliberately lit, so, JAIL THE CULPRITS AND THROW AWAY THE KEY PRIME MINISTER
ScottMorrisonMP Honestly the PM has not learned anything has he.
ScottMorrisonMP What a truly ignorant statement from this appalling excuse for a political 'leader'
ScottMorrisonMP Morrison defending, deflecting, distracting, blaming. As usual. Had been to a firefighters funeral, said 'it was tremendous to be there!!! I wouldn't let this lying BS artist near a family funeral. Sky downplays his woeful presser, dont pretend to be journalists.
ScottMorrisonMP auspol ScottMorrisonMP you “will” (not may)need to review the national hazard reduction strategies with what little time you have in office. Never seen such an arrogant, out of touch pathetic Federal Government in my life. AlboMP
ScottMorrisonMP Proposed new law shall contain : It will be an offence if it does not rain before a burn It will be an offence if there is a new heat wave record in any 2 consecutive years It will be an offence if the greens are in govt and a burn is cancelled
ScottMorrisonMP Remember, govts only focus is coal. For that to occur, they need to maintain the freedom to pollute. Everything else, literally, is secondary.
ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish from a lying man masquerading as a Prime Minister.
ScottMorrisonMP Could see this coming - he doesn’t have to change any policy, and technically he reminds the states and territories this is their responsibility. I am over being frustrated with Morrison. We know the man he is by past actions. I am angry at the dopes who voted for him ....
ScottMorrisonMP Most experts have been saying that for years but politicians are too busy looking for votes to listen
ScottMorrisonMP That a boy. Good call.
KaushalyaFem ScottMorrisonMP See what happens when ScottyFomMarketing doesn’t listen? He says shit stuff. They haven’t been able to hazard reduction burn because of the weather. Duh. Now, if the Pope is able to apologise for being a dick why can’t ScottyFomMarketing?
ScottMorrisonMP mongrel
ScottMorrisonMP I will have to unfollow these main stream LNP controlled media. ThisIsNotJournalism thisisnotnews
ScottMorrisonMP .SkyNews, how can be reporting this so differently to you guys in the UK? ThisIsNotJournalism
ScottMorrisonMP Denying and Blaming! Great leadership we have in this countrt. QuietAussies
KaushalyaFem ScottMorrisonMP Nothing like being delusional, eh ScottyFomMarketing
ScottMorrisonMP Who was the hard hitter asking when it was time to panic? He really should find another job!
ScottMorrisonMP An absolute train wreck
ScottMorrisonMP Hazard reduction, prosecuting arsonists and shutting the Climate crazies out would be the go.
ScottMorrisonMP The simplest and most effective hazard reduction initiative would have been to vote out this do nothing, denialist, Pentecostal, bought and owned Government. But here we are.
ScottMorrisonMP Come on Scott Morrison, Australia needs a strong leader. Be that leader. Do what is best for your voters. The left don’t want you to, but the majority do and we are behind you.
ScottMorrisonMP Good.. hes adressing both his parties and voters views of what they believe are the root cause of these fires.. cue the triggered leftards.
ScottMorrisonMP Let me guess, it's all the Green's fault? Sky have no credibility whatsoever. This is the Mushroom garden right here.
ScottMorrisonMP Yes finally some commen sense blaming excessive fuel reduction instead of bullshit Climate Change
ScottMorrisonMP This is just more of the 'Greens conspiracy' bullshit. How about some actual climatechange policy, no new fossil fuel projects and a managed transition away from fossil fuels, including for export. We are fuelling this ClimateEmergency as the third largest exporter.
ScottMorrisonMP Will become his undoing
ScottMorrisonMP The fires are extraordinary true ... but you ain’t ScottMorrisonMP you are a GrubPM
ScottMorrisonMP Is it possible we have traitors living among us and they help towards the killing of the people and Australia bush animals by starting fires? It's great to have immigration but not if they insist out worship is evil.
ScottMorrisonMP No ScottMorrisonMP attempted to defend his lies with identical spin and threw a few dead cats on the table. He cherrypicked questions. He failed to answer relevant questions and he had TheFederalOfficeBoy along for emotional support. ScottFromMarketing is gone.
ScottMorrisonMP ThisIsNotJournalism
ScottMorrisonMP He needs to outline a credible way about how we are going to achieve zero net emissions by 2050 which includes winding down our reliance on fossil fuel industries in preference for renewables. First step is for him to acknowledge climate change is human induced.
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP
ScottMorrisonMP When can we march on kiribili for real I'm sick of giving this guy breath to lie more with.
ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is a terrific operator, correct on all points. People will hiss and bleat though no matter what he says, it’s the modern day fuel that gets the desperates through their days.
