Acting PM flies into Merimbula climate protest

Michael McCormack has become the laughing stock across Australia for his outlandish comments and total lack of interest in the welfare of communities devastated by the bushfires.
We nearly lost Merimbula, Bega and Eden. Yet he remains in denial about how climate change has exacerbated the bushfire and extreme weather risk in Australia.
By comparison Darren Chester gas demonstrated real empathy and support for affected communities.
Scott Morrison deserted Australia in the midst of an emerging crisis.
Morrison and McCormack have proven they are unfit for to lead Australia. They must be sacked by the Governor-General for failing to uphold their oaths.

The government that is supposed to be protecting the people had better get their act together because the people are waking up to the lies and can now see clearly through their spin even through the smoke.

After this mornings tragic news about 2 volunteer firefighters losing their lives and 5 others seriously injured yesterday it’s time for platitudes to end. 23 expert Fire Chiefs and Emergency workers have tried to meet with Morrison to plan a National response to the disastrous Climate Change effects we are experiencing due to Global warming but he has refused.
For this Governments inaction and Morrison’s comments he deserves to be pilloried.The Governor General should disqualify the Government and find them criminally culpable for their corruption and failure to act in our country’s interests.

In 1980 we had a hot Christmas when it hit 40c which was a rare event only happening 3-4 times a year. 36c was a hot day in Adelaide back then. It’s one week out from Christmas and it’s going to be 47c tomorrow. We have a number of governments in the world that are right wing and for some strange reason believe climate change is not real. Like our PM Scott Morrison. They are backed by the Murdoch press, which tore down one LNP state environment minister for declaring the blindingly obvious, we have a climate emergency. Australia, we have a problem and it’s mostly you who voted these lying fuckwits into office in the first place. It is your responsibility to vote for the party with the best policy, not the best Orwellian good speak. You don’t get good government from people who don’t read facts or believe in them.

What a snide and rude man is Mr McCormack. Many of the protesters are retired from long, hardworking careers and have taken on the burden of attempting to bring understanding to an intellectually challenged government of the devastating long term effects of not acting in respect to Australia’s emissions. Climate protesters are not there for personal gain. They are there because they care about their country, the people and the environment and they have the vision based on the science to understand the absolute need for immediate response, before the tipping point is reached.

I’m in my sixties and have lived in many countries and on all continents except Antarctica. I feel I am reasonably knowledgeable due to the wide ranging experiences I have encountered. The current Australian government seems very out of touch with the constituents and more importantly with reality. It is now 3 decades since global warming warnings reached a level where an intelligent species would have made concerted efforts to rectify the problem. We, here in Australia, could be an example to the rest of the world. We are in sport. Why aren’t we with regard to a common sense approach in protecting nature and future generations? How can Slomo (I prefer this name to scomo) sleep at night? He has two daughters. Don’t they come home from school and tell their Dad that everyone at school calls him a fool? Most of my friends and their children and grandchildren do. In brief these are my concerns which an intelligent government would open discussion about, calling upon innovative ideas to carry us successfully into the future: The climate dilemma, the production of power (not just solar and wind, but tidal flow and more), caring for the increasing ageing population, using Indigenous knowledge more wisely, teaching coding at an early age, research into the control of bushfires with sound waves. We are so very far behind where we could and should be, if we just tried a bit harder.

It is against the law to work in these temperatures.

It’s so refreshing to read some of these comments as opposed to the drivel you get on some other news sights. How much worse does it all need to get before we are any real action from the government? Whether it be preventive or reactionary.

“I hope they are on their lunch breaks” – these people are doing the right thing prioritizing their fight for essentially survival and the APM is stuck up his own ass.

$11, million for our fire resources versus $186 million for a det Center PRIME MINISTER photo op during an election camp that we paid for $444 million to the bogus Great Barrier Reef foundation who’s chairman is the head of MOBIL EXON $30 million to Rupert from Turnbull and they crow about a measly $11 mill towards a national disaster. That $11 million will be swallowed by 1 aircraft n equipment for water bombing ! We need all the above money spent on water bombing equipment!
