Summer = Bushfires. You surely can't claim that since most of the bushfires were lit by kids or idiots, that equals "climate change"? Man-made climate change? Grin

No one is making that claim

The claim is that these fires have become dangerous bushfires because of the drought and the extreme weather conditions

The ABC unearthed a fantastic clip of Morrison on QandA in 2010 criticising Christine Nixon for going on holiday during the Black Saturday bushfires

Grin

I think it was for going to dinner???

Quote:

‘A bad judgment call’: Scott Morrison’s holiday flies in face of Black Saturday attacks

Ten years ago, an ambitious young Liberal MP led the charge attacking Victoria’s police chief Christine Nixon for choosing to eat dinner at a gastropub as the horror of Black Saturday, the worst bushfires in the state’s history, unfolded.

Scott Morrison was that MP’s name and he did not hold back when condemning her actions when asked on the ABC’s Q&A program in April 2010.

“She’s clearly made a bad judgment call. That happens to people from time to time, but this was a very serious issue,” Mr Morrison said.

“I think there are very serious concerns in the community about exercising judgment, and it’s incumbent on all of us in public life to make decisions following that in the best interests of the ongoing nature of the program.”

Ms Nixon’s dinner of shame led to calls for her sacking, including from former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett.

“[Nixon] put herself first all day and then washed it down with a very good meal at the end. The community is becoming increasingly frustrated the Premier hasn’t removed this blot from our landscape,” Mr Kennett said.

At the time, Victorian Premier John Brumby backed Ms Nixon to continue the bushfire reconstruction efforts, but Mr Morrison was not so sure she was the right woman for the job.

“I think what’s most important here gets beyond any one individual, and that is public confidence in how the reconstruction effort is taking place,” Mr Morrison said.

“And while the premier may have made his call on Christine, it really is a matter for her to make a judgment whether the controversy surrounding her actions actually, at the end of the day, may well impede the ability of that organisation to get on with the job.”

Morrison is a true Christian who does not practice what he preaches!!!

Since you removed my emphasis on the word "become" I'll pit it back in for you. You really are a tosser lee. If you are going to quote me, have the common decency not to change my quote. People get banned for pulling stunts like that

At least Abbott went out and fought the fires.

Sure, it was all just a photo op, but at least he did something.

Morrison is the most useless front bottom on the face of the earth.

Quote:

According to a report released by the Australia Institute, over 76% of Australians believe this is a link between climate change and bushfires.

The Prime Minister has dismissed the report, telling journalists this morning in Sydney that they probably all voted Green.

The Greens' vote isn't at 76%. It's a shame that the journalists didn't press him harder on his nonsense. Accountability, innit.

That's not what the Australia Institute claims. They specifically said more bushfires.

and they also said;

Climate change is happening and
Australians are concerned about the impacts
More Australians accept the reality of climate change than at almost any time since Climate of the Nation began in 2007.

Three quarters (76%, up from 71% 2017) of Australians accept that climate change is occurring, 11% do not think that climate change is occurring and 13% are unsure.

Acceptance of climate change closely follows voting intentions, but interestingly while One Nation (22%) and Nationals (15%) voters are the most likely to say they do not think that climate change is occurring, this declined signi cantly for both groups since 2017.

The effects of heat are the driving concern about the impact of climate change, and people were most concerned about more droughts and flooding affecting crop production and food supply (78%), destruction of the Great Barrier Reef (77%) and more bush res (76%).

Key Findings
73% of Australians are concerned about climate change, up from 66% in 2017
70% agree that the Government needs to implement a plan to ensure the orderly closure of old coal plants and their replacement with clean energy
68% support State Governments putting in place incentives for renewable energy
15% of Nationals voters do not think climate change is occurring, down from 29% in 2017
78% of Australians are concerned about climate change resulting in more droughts and ooding affecting crop production and food supply
67% of Australians want to end coal- red power within the next
20 years
53% think Governments are not doing enough about climate change
45% of One Nation voters agree the seriousness of climate change is exaggerated, down from 56% in 2017
77% of Australians are concerned about climate change resulting in the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef
52% blame the privatisation of electricity generation and supply for increasing electricity prices
49% support a moratorium on new coal mines and the expansion of existing ones (20% oppose)

As with all politicians in all parties, Morrison doesn't decide anything except maybe which tie to wear on the days he's allowed free choice

they all take instructions/orders from outside this country

waste of time really getting upset about it

It won't change for the better until China takes over
