Sky News host Andrew Bolt says “blaming global warming is easy but dangerous” as it can “blind us to the truths that could save us next time” as the royal commission into Australia’s summer of bushfires commences.

“I get so tired of the lazy way global warming gets blamed for almost every natural disaster,” Mr Bolt said. He said “dud predictions” have come on Australia’s weather conditions and rain predictions which have been blamed on global warming.

On Monday, the royal commission into Australia’s bushfire crisis commenced after hearing its first witness give evidence on the impact of climate change on the bushfire season. Dr Karl Braganza spoke about how climate change contributed to the devastating bushfires, saying two major weather events impacted Australia directly. Mr Bolt said governments can waste billions of dollars attempting to “save us from what's not actually a catastrophe”.

Australia’s reduced emissions ‘ruining ABC’s fear narrative’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the deadly coronavirus pandemic has been “an unwanted interruption” to the ABC’s “normal fear-mongering, alarmism and evangelism on global warming”. \n\nMr Kenny said following the bad bushfire season, the ABC was using the disasters which were observed “to ramp up its climate change campaigning”. \n\nHowever, this was “rudely interrupted” by the breaking of the drought and the COVID-19 health crisis. \n\nMr Kenny referenced a recent Four Corners report which had “former politicians and leading public servants lamenting the demise of a carbon price, and emissions trading scheme, a carbon tax .... whatever you want to call it”. \n\nHe said the program’s main focus was “really about climate policy” but omitted “some crucial facts”. \n\nHe said the program “didn't want to mention that we're actually reducing emissions (as) that would ruin the narrative”. \n\nMr Kenny said “the big lie” being spruiked, “that abolishing our carbon tax has somehow hurt us with a hotter climate is just tosh, it is not supported by facts, by science, by rational argument, or by reality”. \n\nImage: Getty Where is the investment in FOSSIL FUELS ?

Australia 'risking US relationship' over 'Victoria's secretive agreement with China' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian's Dennis Shanahan says Victoria's government has 'effectively signed a secretive agreement with a foreign government' which has all sorts of potential implications 'for national security and international relations'. \n\nVictoria has confirmed it will push ahead with its plan to sign up to China’s US$1.4 trillion infrastructure program.\n\nThe Belt and Road Initiative is designed to link China with Asia, Europe and Africa via a massive infrastructure investment that will see the widespread construction of railways, motorways and ports.\n\nChina claims the deal will be mutually beneficial, but the federal government has criticised Victoria for signing up for the deal citing possible security implications.\n\nMr Shanahan said the 'message was very clear from the US' following recent comments made by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo discussing the issue with Sky News. \n\nUS Secretary of State Mike Pompeo issued a stern warning over Victoria’s Belt and Road deal with China, telling Sky News the US will “simply disconnect” from Australia if it affects America's telecommunications. \n\nMr Pompeo said he wasn’t aware of the specific details of the agreement but warned the US “will not take any risks”. \n\n“We will not take any risks to our telecommunications infrastructure, any risk to the national security elements of what we need to do with our Five Eyes partners,” he said.\n\n'The message is there for Victoria and for the rest of Australia,' Mr Shanahan said. \n\nImage: AP \n\n JoeDMillard Who the hell does Andrew's think he is?

Fitzgibbon needs to put 'team Australia' above Chinese interests | Sky News AustraliaNationals Senator Bridget McKenzie says Joel Fitzgibbon needs to clearly state whether he is on 'team Australia' after he accused the government of “demonising China”. \n\n“Joel needs to decide whose team he’s actually on,” she told Sky News. \n\n'Joel needs to get on board, team Australia, or is he backing other Labor entities such as Daniel Andrews by putting the Chinese interest above Australia’s.”\n\nMr Fitzgibbon doubled down on his comments on Monday telling Sky News Scott Morrison unnecessarily damaged Australia’s relationship with China by pursuing the pandemic probe without international support. \n\nDeputy Nationals leader David Littleproud has called on the Labor leader to sack Mr Fitzgibbon for the comments but others within the party — such as Barnaby Joyce — have said they were on the nose. \n\nWhen asked, Ms McKenzie denied there was a split within her party on the issue, insisting any moves made by the government were done with Australia’s national interest at mind. It’s hard to be on “team Australia” when you ripped millions from legit sporting organisations for your own voting fraud? How Australian is that 🤷‍♂️ Why didn't you ask senbmckenzie if cheating in an election is considered being on 'team Australia'? Depends. In which electorate is team Australia’s clubhouse?

COVID-19 has highlighted Australia's 'reliance' on digital technology | Sky News AustraliaThe coronavirus crisis has shown how keenly Australians rely on digital infrastructure, according to NSW Chief Data Scientists Dr Ian Opperman.\n\nThere has been an unprecedented demand for digital services as more and more Australians access the internet from home.\n\nAccording to figures published in the Australian Broadband Data Demand report, in the first week of May, downloads during the busy evening period increased by 14 per cent to 12.6 terabits per second compared to the last week of February.\n\n“The infrastructure we have relied on absolutely the most is not roads, we still need roads of course, and it’s not even the infrastructure that we have with buildings, it is the digital infrastructure.\n\n“Without the digital infrastructure, the NBN, the telecoms infrastructure, the 5G network, we could not have survived what we just went through, or it would have been a very different experience.'\n\n“Digital infrastructure can make us incredibly productive.” ACSnewsfeed Too bad Abbott and Murdoch f*cked up Australia's NBN to keep Foxtel afloat.

JobKeeper windfall 'very good news': Taylor | Sky News AustraliaA revision to the cost of the government’s JobKeeper program is “very good news” for the economy, according to Energy Minister Angus Taylor. \n\nThe government on Friday revealed a costing error by Treasury meant the wage subsidy scheme was initially forecast $60 billion higher than was required. \n\nIt is now estimated the JobKeeper program will cost the government $70 billion and will cover about 3.5 million workers. \n\nSpeaking with Sky News, Mr Taylor downplayed claims of a mistake within Treasury insisting the $130 billion figure was only ever a “forecast”. \n\n“This was a forecast, an update of the forecast, the original forecast was based on the best information available and this was a more subsequent update,” he said. \n\n“This was not an objective or a target. Only the Labor Party could think spending more money is a target.”\n\nMr Taylor said the revision indicated the economy was in better shape than was anticipated. \n\n“It is actually very good news. It means on the ground, and that’s where it counts, it means businesses are in better shape than we may have anticipated when those original forecasts were put in place on the best information available,” Mr Taylor said. \n\n“It does mean we are in a better position as we work our way towards recovery.”\n\nA review into the scheme will be carried out by the government in June.
