A transition to renewables is a ‘transition to poverty’ | Sky News Australia

Former speaker of the house Bronwyn Bishop is hoping Prime Minister Scott Morrison will tell United States President Donald Trump Australia intends to pull out of the Paris Agreement during

the PM’s official visit to Washington. Ms Bishop said when Australia is urged to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, “what we’re being asked to do is transition to poverty”. Image: AP

Idiot

Exactly right its nothing but a bloody great SCAM, climate change is a natural phenomenon and there is ZERO we can do about it, just ask the dinosaurs.

Bradthinks71 She is a pariah and a leech on the public purse-the only reason she’s not in poverty is her snout firmly in the trough still sucking PUBLIC TAXPAYER funds up at an alarming rate-she’s is an arch hypocrite

FFS! Show me Which country that has become poorer because if renewables....we need to change and it created healthier and more jobs!

Bradthinks71 Those in positions of power said the exact same thing when we banned slavery - but funnily enough it led to more prosperity - not poverty. Im quite sure transitioning from captive energy supplies to renewables will have exact same result.

So third world countries are using solar and renewables and even trading energy with their neighbours and are experiencing excellent growth. Yet we have a has been no body that has no idea except for what the IPA tell her to say

Oh dear Bronwyn been watching Sky News again..!!

What a mob. She has absolutely no idea.

I think ‘The ordinary people’ are the people paying for your helicopter lovey, so how about a little respect whilst you sit on your government pension.

Poverty you say. I think we know who is living in poverty. Not her.

Old thinking.

The lady who stung the taxpayer for tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of inexplicable travel allowances probably isn’t an expert on poverty

Again, straight up bullshit and lies! Since when is investing in new industries a bad thing for economic growth? New jobs, new technologies, and far cheaper cleaner energy for industries and business. renewable. Not to mention health care budget savings! And lives saved

LyleShelton Was she speaking from her helicopter?

Current government policies are transitioning the average Australian to poverty. Moving to smart energy policy, if done intelligently, should increase prosperity.

Correct.

You what? BronwynBishop What a rediculous proposition.

Poverty is better than DEAD

LyleShelton To be more sustainable, Bronny could just take public transport

LyleShelton

LyleShelton And? We won't be able to afford Bronnie's helicopter jaunts?

We should be demolishing turbines and solar farms. Build a dozen or so coal power plants and start to do the right thing for all Australians. Tell the greens to go jump.

LyleShelton Remind me again what Bishop’s scientific qualifications are?

LyleShelton Yes. Well. I guess the global elites and climate change activists want us all to be equal. Equally poor! Except for scare mongers like them. They want us to give our hard-earned $$$ to them. So they can all laugh their way to the banks! SCAMMERS!

Why do people not realize that fossil fuels is the only way and more dams

LyleShelton Who'd want to be even a tinier bit 'poorer' if all it's going to do is save humanity and the planet?

LyleShelton Why does anyone pay any attention to the ex minister for helicopters

Don't worry love, I'm sure someone will loan you a helicopter to get about

Clearly the Left/ Greens agenda is to return us to the Stone Age.

Why is it that more politicians are not acknowledging this? Ref : Venezuela!

The TRUTH 👇

Yes, no helicopter rides.

Not at all, what we are being asked to do is have our politicians get out of the pockets of fossil fuel companies and start working for the good of the country. Many other countries manage it, are our leaders just so incompetent that they cannot do the same without poverty?

Quoting Bronwyn Bishop seriously you guys have gone to the shitter

By the time our country is burning she will be long gone so of course she doesn't care nor get it.

Why don’t these politicians speak the truth when in government, they desert us when we most need them

Bishop Gate pigs in our trough WAKE UP AUSTRALIA

What tripe!

Exactly

She wont have to worry about it

true that

I like to get my scentific advice from 77 year old conservative politicians...not scientists because they are all crooks

Well said Bronwyn the government should be held accountable for the damage they have done to Australian industry farmers and households alike it is absolutely disgraceful and I am sure many politicians and bureaucrats have no idea of the real world you should have a look 👀

We would be richer if politicians didn't take HELECOPTERS to party events at taxpayer expense Bronwyn.

christo10695010 And she's 100% correct.

I think everyone is getting this wrong... Remember poverty to chopper bishop is anything less than private flights and first class....

She doesn’t like wind turbines because they remind her of helicopters she can’t afford now

Fuk I thought that Old Mole had died

She hasn’t got any brighter. Bloody Ridiculous.

Hahaha oh my, she really has lost the plot now 😂😂😂

did anyone ask her to clarify her statement? i do wish someone would start asking conservatives what data they use. i'm beginning to think they are lying
