Senator Molan began to deflect with his answer before saying there was little to do for individual cases at a Federal level.
"What is the strategy? If I could put it very, very simply, the strategy, the strategy was first to support the firefighters. That was the most immediate strategy." "It wasn't until December 12 that the Federal Government announced a funding boost for aerial firefighting services. Why wasn't that done before?" Macdonald pressed on."A lot of people say it's an unprecedented fire, that doesn't mean it wasn't planned for. It was planned for at an incredible detail," he said, before suggesting the fires were not the Federal Government's responsibility.
"It's very, very difficult for the Federal Government to be prepared for bushfires when we're not fighting bushfires.
frankelly08 Make this clown 🤡 the minister for for Aged Care and kick him up in a home💪🏿💪🏿
Just watched hellfire on channel 7, what a disgrace of a show and channel. All about bringing cattle into the bush and hazard reduction burns. Owned mostly by stokes a staunch climate skeptic. Billionaire mining magnet, in despaired by the bullshit. Not a word about climate!
Politicians like Molan are despised because they distort technical facts and values. Climate scientists abide by technical facts and can never compete with these professional liars...
So basically ' I don't care'
That attitude could have had deadly consequences for our soldiers during his tenure as a General in Afghanistan!
And these are the people 'governing' our country! What hope do we have....
As to whether it is human-induced climate change, my mind is open.' Maybe its our Koala population, Jimbo?
Jim Moron perhaps!!.. And he once led the mighty SAS....
New Year, same old q and a
Eejit
Mislabelling HumanCausedGlobalWarming something type-, cause- an epoch-ambiguous like climate change is the same old obfuscation from the ABC, the deniers and those chosen to be authorities. The same old ABC. Glad I didn't watch or listen to this sanctimonious crap.
'I'm not relying on evidence.' 🤣😂 what a stupid thing to say.
QandA hamishNews pjohnson_sports Why was Jim Molan invited? Global warming is not a topic for an endless debating club competition but for education
frankelly08 He prefers to rely on opinion apparently.
Don’t let the facts get in the way champ!
margo694 This saying will obviously enter the vernacular as a new byword for pugnacious wilful ignorance. How good's not relying on evidence?
Lets get real. We have a whole lot of bias people pressurising Jim in an interview situation waiting for him to trip up and say something he doesn't mean. If not a scientist need to rely on advice, when something becomes political, who is giving good advice?
Yet another dickhead from the coalition.
The audience there were a disappointing in Q&A. Not open minded at all.
Another old time, past their used by date Luddite
Can someone explain to me why in February 2020, with half the fucking country on fire, the ABC is still offering a national platform to a 'climate sceptic' with no scientific credentials
What a dopey tool. His time out of the limelight hasn’t improved his intelligence. Please let that be the last time this dill gets a platform on our ABC. auspol
I have no words
Nolan’s senator by DEFAULT WHAT EVIDENCE DOES HE RELY ONSHIT FOR BRAINS
Kick in the teeth to all the scientists who work in and support ADF?
He was not elected by the people so I think that sums up the situation . I hope I am never in the trenches with this bloke if he does not rely on evidence at some stage.
He should've replied, climate change is a natural occurring event just like the Ice Age was!! If scientists were around at the time of the Ice Age they would have blamed that on us too!! 🤣🤣
He needs to go
He is relying on fairytales
You can't put brains in pumpkins.
qanda climatemisinformation
Crim.
ABC fake news ..no one who voted Lib/Nat. is listening to you ..I watch just to show how totally out there somewhere the ABC is
TOIIndiaNews Aust_Parliament latrobe JudicialCollege Justice_Connect Seems a bit odd, JimMolan, 'ex-army Major General' wouldn't suggest a policy such as survival training for every Aussie. Here is a new title to be conferred upon him. 'Companion Of The Air-Head Australia'
Heard an excerpt on my way in to work this morning and thought I was listening to the late great John Clarke for most of it 🤣
Jim Molan is relying on stupidity auspol
Isn't JimMolan a good friend of ScottMorrisonMP Says it all auspol
Would have been better having MikeKellyofEM but hamishNews has an ego to feed.
I'm sure he said more than that. ABC wouldn't take someone out of context.
That's right Jim, never let the evidence get in the way of your view of the world. Another Nero fiddling while the world burns.
It’s the vibe...
Michael Mann is best know for falsifying temperature data to create the debunked hockey stick graph, he is a ideological pseudoscientist- no one should be relying on his evidence
No wonder Australia is buying 12 coal fired submarines in 40 years time.
My concern is that this man was a General, leading soldiers on operations overseas. I wonder if he relied on evidence in that role?
Sorry I didn't watch it. The Fed gov is getting hammered for a state issue. Climate change happens naturally. What if this was an ice age again? What would people be saying then? Jim had a target one him from the start by the looks of it
OMG! Someone admitting they are no a scientist!
Is he a god fearing man? Any politician that believes in a ‘supernatural leader’ and ‘prays’ for victims, also isn’t relying on ‘evidence’ of a god. What’s the big deal? No politician relays on any evidence.
Translation: ‘I rely on the opinions of party doners’
Ready, fire, aim.
There’s the problem!
Really. What would U say if the Police said that it your GP. If you had a positive Prostrate test and dr said I'm not relying on the lab tests. I just think I will ignore them and no treatment for you. Bye. But if you suffer too bad!
Says it all
How sweet this is. First book 'Thunder over the Desert' due for release in March
You dont need a long neck to be a goose jim. Start looking for a spot at the viewing window.
Andrew Constance was the epitome of a professional, smart, caring and human politician. Jim Molan is a perfect example of everything we don’t need in a politician - unprepared, liar, arrogant and actually appeared to be pretty stupid. Sad that the Molan types run Australia.
TheLyonsDen is not relying on evidence so like many politician on all sides of politics he is relying on self interest not facts! What’s evidence got to do with the facts.
I prefer to get my evidence from a 17 year girl. I just long for the stable climate of my youth. No fires or floods or extreme weather. The good old days.
You lost me at M Mann. Bloody spare me. Did he bring his hockey stick with him?🥴😆
He has an advisor instead ...
All of a sudden, ScottyfromMarketing is striped naked by JimMolan 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Jim what do you rely on then qanda🤔🙈🙄
You gave him a chance hamishNews but he clearly did not think that one through. Foolish, arrogant man.
Jim has advanced beyond silly old bugger DementiaAus QandA
Way to show your hand JimMolan
Oh god...
Sweet suffering Jesus. Bugger you Jim.
Then he went really quiet....
Tempting to ask why the ABC keeps giving this idiot a platform, but when he's exposed like this it's almost worthwhile.
What the..senator argued that climate science is not settled, but said he was 'not relying on evidence' JimMolan what ScottMorrisonMP is this were were going, we now don’t rely on evidence any more
Not relying on evidence? Shit, and this bloke led our soldiers in war zones? Did he listen to intelligence? You wouldn't want to be in the trenches with him.
Just a typical Liberal. Nothing new.
Jim was an atypical politician. He lacked understanding, empathy, recognition of the issues. He deflected, simplified and denigrated any panel member who challenged him. An absolutely disgusting performance. Very Morrison-esk. The Fed Govt is broken 🙁
One would hope he never gets called for jury duty.
I keep telling you scientists named Micky Mouse don't count.
