SBS Another self entitled Prime Minister who thinks, 'my turn to govern OZ' and shove his mediocre principles down our throats. ScoMo ya dickhead, look at history and student activism around the globe over the last 50 years. Its not 1900 so, move with the times or fall on your words.

Slammed by who it's what they should be told

Slammed, please!

Its impossible in the current world to 'learn more, be less activist'. Actually learning more can only result in being more activist.

This guy and his stupidity, this guy who is Prime Minister of Australia, is proving to be such a fantastic lesson for these kids - how our current political system is completely corrupt and devoid of morals., how it in no way represents the people and their needs.

deluxe_tm He wears the hat; overestimates his appeal; makes sexist jokes; suffers a bit of Dunning Kruger effect; he mindlessly supports big business. Is a science denier and now is discouraging free speech. Australia does not need its own Donald Trump

When the government is owned by the fossil fuel industry and refuses to deal with something that affects us all, especially young people, it's everyone's responsibility to act.

auspol Go the students! We support you! Keep going! Don't listen to Morrison, he has no idea! If we don't have a liveable planet nothing else will matter including education & the miniscule actions of LNP re climate change won't be enough to save us! Good on you students!

Oh the irony

I remember that as a student I was threatened with expulsion from the local high school if I was caught protesting about our involvement in the Vietnam war. Old power is terrified of the young. That much hasn’t changed.

IPA independent? Need to scratch the surface of their funding, it isn't a deep surface.

You will do as I say. I'm your father.... I mean PM...

Typical politician, too busy taking kickbacks off big business and ignoring reality, but all too happy to give fortune cookie advice. What this twit actually knows about the science behind the climate would fit in infinitesimally small quantities on the head of a pin.

Scott Morison is out of touch with everything

SBS Can’t wait to see the back of him. The issue now is he’s a lame-duck PM who’s just waiting for the election and for him to be booted out. He’ll probably go as hard as he can trying to feather his own nest with his business mates so they’ll nicely cushion his fall when he’s gone.

Liberals tend to sneer when they say 'activism'. I'll bet Morrison has plenty of time for lobbyists, though. Lobbyists are just activists with money.

One two buckle your shoe m, three four out the door 😂 byebye seeyascomo

He's even adopted Trump's body language. Closed mind, arrogant

deniseshrivell They are learning to be active thinkers, critical thinkers, debaters, engaged people. What does he want - little chanters, mimicking him, gabbling rather than making sense? He's not a very good mentor. Seems he doesn't self-examine.

Just a blokey bloke, head of the nation, listening to his people ... 🙄 GO GET ‘EM, KIDS!!!

Who does he think he is

MargMcCrohon They have learnt more- that's why they are acting. Unlike our current government.

Irresponsible statement from the PM. He can continue sticking his head in the sand and not gain any sympathies or popularity from voters who do care about our environment--young and old.

This is a little man with little talent. I think the LNP goons put him in position of PM knowing they will lose the next election.None wanted the blame for the loss so they elected an egotistical man who actually believed he was the saviour.

Good. He’s unhinged.

Students striking over climate change or any other major issue ignored by an obtuse government is exactly what students should be doing - the age of ‘seen but not heard’ is over. Well done ✌️✊

Scummo should be doing his job not lecturing students where is federal icac

Hey ScottMorrisonMP, the student did learn something. They learn to stand up to what they believe in. Being an “activist” is also about democracy. You should learn it. Your job depends on it. auspol

I’ve worked&taught 16/17/18 yr olds. I’m pretty sure they know more about climate change than Morrison. They have instant quality information at their fingerstips. They know how to source it&spread it around. They seek truth. How dare he dismiss them as they fight for a future.

That’s right ... do the research and get the info not believe what MSM media news propagate as facts ... fakenews climatechange

I feel so sorry for his kids growing up in that happy clap nonsense.

Great way to court a bunch of newly minted voters ready have there say in polling booth. Idiot should take note of the age demographic breakdown of voter for the vic state election. LNP lost the 18- 30s and women.....the exact demographic of 75% of all protesters!

Tell that to American kids protesting gun violence. Children are our best assets for the future.

Says he who has so much to learn about so many things in life

Our PM is officially an idiot... thankfully these kids give hope for the future

He said it is something which should be done outside of school. I assume that would also include other topics such as religious education.

Wonderful stuff, from our FIGJAM prime Muppet.

= agree with me or STFU

Got an inkling if they'd decided to exercise their right to activism for coal use or Jesus ol' Salty Scotty would be all for it.

Show's just how out of touch this wanker and his LNP cronies are, bring on the election.

Won't get through old cement head.

Such a disappointing little man.

SCOMO is referring to within school hours FAKENEWS

He's correct. Children should be at school and should not be used as pawns in adult political matters. Wagging school to hold up a virtue-signaling sign will have zero impact on the weather.

If this idiot learn more wouldn't have waited of coming of Jesus biz(waiting for Godot)1st millennium&the 2nd millennium to save him from the climate change&to take to nonexistent heaven biz&he should have known this Roman hung terrorist never existed as there's no carbon dating

Hillsong will not save the climate.

The body language of a bully.

So he wants them to care less... Like he and the Liberals.

If this idiot learn more, he should have known that nonexistent country created by the brutal uncivilized uncultured cannibalistic British vultures who were the pioneers of the opium trade, slave trade, colonization, plunder, pillage, ransack other nations wealth by Balfour pact

If this idiot learn more, he should have know that, there's no race called Jews( only a cult) after Ethiopian slaves jumped out of the Egyptian slave bondage, coming to Judea, people there called them Jews due to their severe hallucinations, hearing voices nonstop with illusions

If this idiot learn more, he should have known that, there was no country called Israel on the world map&it existed only in the medieval middle eastern desert donkey rode tribal primitive illiterate hallucinating concocted storytelling Christian Bible only&it's not a history book

Perhaps he wants them sent to HIllsong for 're-education'?

Yes!treat them like a mushrooms!keep them in a dark and feed them shit!those times past long time Ago and students all over the world R concerned about global issues &they don’t stop become activists!

The kids aren't okay with inaction - and they'd like to say something about that. We've just given the ok for ours to rally. It is their planet too!! auspol

How can one man fall so short on so many levels and still manage to be prime minister ... must have something to do with merit I guess

I say good on those kids. They’re the ones who’ll be left to cope with the consequences of previous generations’ inaction. If I was them, I’d be angry too.

SBS Mmm ... maybe he should start with the English syllabus. Ban novels like 1984 and the Crucible from the syllabus. Replace them with some pamphlets on how to conform.

We need our students to be engaged in political discussion. studentactivism ClimateChange

Perhaps the pm could back up his climate change opinions with references to credible research articles - show the students how it's done

Advice scumo himself should take.

A brainwashed religious fanatic telling others to learn more bwahahahaha

ignorant twit

Fuck since when does climate change, an actual scientific proven fact, from actual scientist, become a political stand point? “The left think climate change is real so we must think that’s it’s not, because the nature of our government is to disagree with them always”....... fml

I can guarantee that Morrison’s incoherent hissy fit has encouraged more students to wag school and protest. It’s almost like he has no idea how to communicate with young Australians.

ScottMorrisonMP They have learnt more than you, on climate change at least.

You fool ScottMorrisonMP

Another failing PM. Resign or call an election

If he cannot cope with students having an opinion no wonder he is not doing too well in front of the opposition in parliament. He should be encouraging them to stand up for what they think is an important issue.

ScoMo needs to learn from the kids. Stop sulking over the recent elections. Be a man. Learn to be a man ... not a coward. See what these kids are doing. They are showing dissent and protesting. it takes courage. You could learn from that Mr Conservative Coward

Talk less, be less stupid, Scott.

What a truly stupid man

The students could arrange car pooling to school,recycling drives, enviro clean up day ,smart energy use education program,water use education programs,how consumerism is destroying the enviro program-or walk out of class and yell-you know learn more

I woukd like to see more kids getting involved in Climate change activities. It is their future that is at stake here.

What an ignominious

Loving the body language in this photo

I think we have a fool in charge.

Not a big fan of democracy?

Shallow.

18 year old voters will make the Liberals pay for their negligent inaction on climatechange

It just makes you shake your head ... doesn't it! auspol

Kids have an opinion are motivated, engaged and are expressing themselves. What more could you want?

Ignoring the truth and he should be ashamed 😞

Fair enough comment by Scott. Kids should be learning how to live good lives, learn, experience and not be pushed into activities like this by parents and teachers. Need to sort out own lives before naively aiming to change the world at behest of Greenies.

Because he is trying to copy Trump in everything including his cross arms pout sitting which is new. Be your own man and not copy the American fraud.

MinhKular They don’t want our kids to think about such things. They want ignorant uneducated sheep to guarantee the long term survival of the liberal party. Stuff the environment!

They can do it on the weekend

his weakness has been exposed, he is scared of what kids can do for the future

DrRimmer Why he imagines learning *more* about climate change is going make students less active is beyond my comprehension

He really is a dill isn't he. auspol

auspol

Yes, we now have people criticised for encouraging education. The new world.

Students when they hear the truth.

A bit more activity by Scott may help his double chin.

Good advice.

Australian coal is killing the Pacific: Fiji PM tells Scott MorrisonFiji has firmly told Australia to shift away from coal and fossil fuels because climate change is hurting Pacific island nations. auspol I'd tell Fiji to wake up... China's annual increase in emissions is greater than Australia's total emissions. And China has no concrete policies to do anything PRIOR to 2030. Apart from build 220 coal fired power plants and confirmed have plans for another 266.
