Sky News host Peta Credlin says it’s democracy that Extinction Rebellion “is really protesting against”, and its ongoing demonstrations are “developing into a serious challenge to our institutions”.

“They don’t like the government the people elected, so they're trying to make the people suffer in the hope that voters will eventually tire of the inconvenience and give them what they want,” she said. Ms Credlin has warned there is “no surer way for government to lose the confidence of the people than to lose control of the streets”.

Time to bring out the big guns

Good. Mission accomplished then.

Cred...e..bull

These young protestors do not a have a plan for the future - they are just PROTESTING against parents/government who have given them their easy lifestyle -why?

nyunggai I’m under the impression they pay their protestors, prosecute the founders, seize their funds.

Follow the money. Find out who is funding them.

It’s either mass anti capitalism or mass brainwashing or both....

Its going to get worse as the Environment has no other voice when Raped and burnt .

What does she think about this rort.

None of this rubbish could happen without social media stirring up the dopes that have nothing better to do...

Anarchists

No, democracy is under heavy assault from the two gangs - Lib and Labor.

Dont give these folks the value of tour attention. The only ones challenged by these nutters are those controlling their urge to thump them, those held up & who need to be somewhere else and our law enforcement institutions.

Totally agree, it sure as hell has nothing to do with climate change...

Peta Credlin is an idiot...they are using the DEMOCRATIC right to protest, so in what twisted little fantasy has she convinced herself it's an attack on democracy? Or is this the media's next phase of LNP propaganda dissemination...it DOES follow the Gestapo pattern.

Protesting Climate Change, “BUT” There Is No Climate Emergency There Is No Climate Emergency 2 “Scientists say”

This moron obviously struggles with the fact that the right to protest IS DEMOCRACY IN ACTION..unlike the LNP who want a dictatorship..trying to stop freedom of speech..freedom of press...the right to protest..unions protecting workers pay and conditions and invading our privacy

This wacko ideology was defeated at the last election. They should be arrested for breaking the law! The Australian people have spoken.

Says it all really auspol

An Australia institute survey found most people want emissions reduced to address climate change. Our democracy is ignoring this view, against 30 years of expert advice, despite other nations having success in this area. democracy has delivered zero. Of course it loses relevance

*Socialist Rebellion

They are nothing more than terrorists and must be treated as such.

She wouldn't have said this 50 years ago... female reporters not being allowed on tv...

Why Extinction Rebellion happens around the globe at the same time HK is protesting against freedom. Is it to show western world is not tolerant of protests. Go deeper.

Absolutely correct

This Gov knows the ClimateCrisis is decimating parts of Australia but does nothing. It carries on like it's not happening. It continues to support the industries responsible and demonises those trying to take Action WTF Australia WTF! Auspol

Totally agree and maybe it's time for the normal people the majority of people to take on the challenge of protesting the protestors of the religion of the sky is falling

And its democracy that gives them the luxury to protest democracy...absolute clueless amoebas

They’re not going to stop while ever they get such great coverage and publicity. The media are totally responsible for this disgrace.

klimateklowns

THE CLIMATE CRISIS is '“developing into a serious challenge to our institutions” Auspol

Nice sentiments Peta but it won’t happen. It appears Labor and the Greens are supporting these welfare dependants causing trouble, and so are Labor state governments and authorities. Muppet Morrison missing in action.

Credlin backing her corporate mates who just want this to all go away so that business as usual can continue.

No idea credlin. Through protest and struggle we achieved democracy. Protest is the truest expression of democracy. It’s the Tories who threaten fines and prison who damage democracy.

I don’t understand her logic? How you you get from, ‘I don’t want the planet to die’ to becoming an attack on democracy.

it's ok credlin, peta credlin, the government is drafting laws that will allow drivers to run over protesters LicenseToKill

Creative, playful, loving, kid friendly and extraordinary discipline in nonviolence. Congrats to all those who made extinctionrebellion an incredible success in Perth today. Regardless of what you catch on the news, the kids loved the pirates, living waves, mermaids and singing

Peta Credlin was responsible for Tony Abbott - she doesn’t need to taken seriously

While correct it is only a few imbeciles who are best ignored.

protest all you want but get the fuck out of my way.
