One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson says 'if anything, I blame the Greens and the Labor Party' for contributing to the severity of the bushfire crisis gripping the nation. TheBoltReport

One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson says "if anything, I blame the Greens and the Labor Party" for contributing to the severity of the bushfire crisis gripping the nation. Ms Hanson said left-leaning political parties contributed to the severity of the bushfires by opposing fire reduction practices such as burn-offs that would clear fire 'fuel'.

Fuel is live and dead vegetation, including twigs, leaves and bark, that accumulates over time. "They are the ones to blame for all this," Ms Hanson told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. "As long as people keep voting for them we're going to have these horrific bushfires because the fuel is there to make it worse," Ms Hanson said. "They won't allow the farmers to actually clean up their own properties".

Agree with Pauline 💗

As a LNP pawn what else would she say

Totally agree

All the conservatives must’ve had a conference call where they decided to blame the Greens who’ve never been in government instead of acknowledging changing weather patterns that are hindering hazard reduction burns AND funding cuts to fire services..

Pauline Hanson voted with the govt to support ClimateChange inaction and did nothing to call out the NSW govt on cuts to fire services. As ever Pauline is a noise fraud. OneNationIsAScam

Why do you give this waste of space a platform?

Yeah blame greens and the alp because they've been in power for 6 years.....oh wait....

LMAO giving a platform for people to spew fake news how about putting it into context with the actual facts that destroy her claims... LMAO and we are attacking facebook for allowing fake news look at our MSM .....

Idiot !

🙈🤮

Pauline Hanson has never had an original thought in her life and is incapable of critical thinking. It beats me why anyone ever thinks it worth paying attention to anything she says. These stupid statements have been utterly debunked by even a cursory examination of the facts.

No wonder Murdoch Media is running at a loss in Australia.

Didn't the Beetrooter say it was solar magnetism

The left against right wing nazis like pauline hanson

Crazy person says bullshit. The Australian then treats it like gospel as it fits their narrow minded narrative.

This ignoramus will say or do anything for a headline. Stop giving her oxygen

What, the magnetic impulses from the Sun wasn’t right? Devastated...

I blame the smoke. Wherever it’s around, there’s a fire.

Yes yes yes

She is precisely correct in fact. Greens were just their usual bull at a gate self when it seems a good idea (save the animals) and Bob Carr managed to get them on board very easily in a past NSW govt.

How droll that woman is

spot on pauline

Of course she does. She's really not very bright is she.

Who cares what that nut bag has to say about most things. Fortunately she said it on Bolts show so not many people would have seen it.

Who cares what that nut bag has to say about most things. Fortunately she said it on Murray’s show so not many people would have seen it.

Nah that can't be right... surely it's the fault of African gangs, Muslims, Immigrants & too many solar panels?! 🙄

Pauline is not wrong Labor/ and the Communist Greens are a coalition they can't exist without the others support

Just stop already with this bushfire blame game

Pauline is right you know !

GreyHaired07 She 100% correct. Add arsonists climate freaks

Hey PaulineHansonOz once more for you, because I know it takes a while for the penny to drop with you: Labor hasn't been in power federally for 6 years and the Greens never. How on earth are they setting policy on this? Ploise expline. auspol NSWbushfires qldbushfires

The right builds The left destroys It's worldwide

Wtf What is she on? The greens have never even been in Govt!!!! And the ALP haven’t been for 7 years! 🤦‍♀️

Me to

Pauline opens her mouth & yet again spews BS.

koalakiller

Que ?

PaulineHansonOz Pauline is right and speaks for all Australians

Pauline talking rubbish again. As opposed to many conservative voters most of the Greens and Labor ppl I know are right into understanding Australia's bushland and it's relationship with regular low intensity fires.

Pauline's appearances on Sky with Paul Murray and others have been a wonderful demonstration of common sense and genuine moral compassion. More strength to her.

Totally agree with Pauline! The Greens have always frustrated efforts to keep people safe from fires. Labor has been so weak and won’t stand up to them for selfish political reasons!

Pauline That may be part of the problem yes but not the cause. You have to tackle the cause and that is climate change.

Can you pretty please get actual independent experts on your shows so we can have some critical thinking to improve the discourse in our democracy. It cannot be that hard can it? After all knowledge is to be valued.

Pauline Hanson is solely responsible for the bush fires, she's just trying to divert everyones' gaze.

McCormack, Joyce and Hanson all blame Labor and the Greens and the people who voted them in all nod in agreement. Ignorance and bigotry beat facts every time.

She is however, an imbecile...

Was Porline holding a lit match whilst saying that? 🔥

This lady methinks is suffering from publicity deprivation

Just more confirmation of the stupidity of this woman

Talk about useless

That 'if anything' means Hanson is saying anything could be to blame, so why not blame Labor and Greens. Hanson knows no logic or decency. auspol AUSTRALIAFIRES

Of course she does. *Massive eye roll*

Rubbish hanson

Pauline spews conservative spin while a group of ex fire commissioners, CFO’s, chiefs all say the current fire command are banned from talking about the real problem - climate change & debunk policy problems are Greens.

You need hazard reduction during winter time.

Of course she does - despite what those dozen fire chiefs said yesterday. Given her inability to take in actual facts, she might as well lock herself in the cupboard.

At least she's consistent in her craziness.

Hmmmm excuse me Pauline but the labor party are not even in government!!!!! Not for over 6 years!!!!!!!

And then it will be ‘single mothers’

STOP blaming everyone Pauline and just do something!!! Enough talk!!Time for real action required now! 😡

I blame Hanson ,she has done nothing to alleviate the fires 🔥, if you do nothing you must share the blame!!!!!!!

She would say that I expect sky didn’t ask her why she’d put the blame there

I know this DOPEY woman Hanson carnt count LNP HAVE BEEN N PARLIMENT FOR OVER 6 YRS THE BLAME IS ON THEIR WATCH

The Labor party in all their desperation signed an agreement with the Greens to create a coalition and this brain dead move has resulted in the greens having a platform well above their station ... Labor can not win an election without the support of the loopy greens ...

Amazed she didn't link it to refugees to be honest

Deluded.

Spot on, tghe labor/greens are dangerous.

The high school dropout obviously hasn’t read Barnaby Joyce’s detailed report blaming NSWbushfires on magnetic radiation from the sun. Better get Malcolm Roberts to brief her. auspol

Total !! Stopping the back burning in the cooler months .

Who gives a sh!t what this delinquent has to say?

Surely someone will show some sympathy and offer pro bono psychiatric help to this poor woman

Greens have never been in power either federally or in any state government. Some people really need to learn how government works. The only way greens policy could be enacted is if the LNP put it in place. Misinformation used by uninformed people is not fact.

Why would that be Pauline? Not sure if you are aware but LiberalAus is in government atm. 🤔

Of course. What did you expect? She can't help herself from adding another baseless claim to her litany of discredited opinions.

'They won't allow the farmers to actually clean up their own properties'. Genuine question; How much farm land has been burned?

With a healthy majority in the NSW Government and a workable majority Federally why have these ‘laws’ that have been introduced by Greens and Labor been changed or deleted. Is it because there are no laws?

PleaseExplain

And Pauline would know...please explain?

MRobertsQLD Blood on their hands

Embarrassing that this is the level of discourse around this from our leaders. Embarrassing that so many people read this sort of nonsense and nod along because it’s easier to fight culture wars than it is to do the work required to address this properly.

There should be an IQ test before people get into Parliament. Pauline would never pass no matter how low you set the pass level.

I blame the 🔥,.When ever there’s bush fires,🔥always hanging around!

Here we go, around and around the merrygoround, blame game don't fix anything, Get the bill, see who passed it, where all parties involved, neglected their responsibility of safety of all property & people, About $, stuff the $, all was put their to protect & serve the Aust ppl

She’s right

100% correct. The desire of Labor & the Greens to stop the removal of vegetation via burn offs because of environmental concerns has led to this annual onslaught of massive fires, the loss of lives & property. Time to stop the BS & let hazard reduction go ahead full speed.

It is psychically impossible to “hazard reduce” every State Forest or National Park on a regular basis. There is both a lack of time and resources to achieve all but a minimal amount.

Rid OUR NATION OF GREENIES

The coalition should not escape blame. They are complicit through inaction. They need to stand up to this ridiculous green ideology. The fire departments in every council should be responsible for hazard reduction burns in their local areas.

Greens have no power to do anything. Greens policy is for hazard reduction burning. Safe days to burn are getting less because of climate change. NSW cut rangers who burn by a third. They also cut funding to fire services.

Next on Sky News we ask a collector of Victorian era scrimshaw ivory butt plugs for his opinion on the causes of the bushfire crisis. May as fucking well...he'd have as much of a clue as Pauline does.

Of she does, she’s a wilfully ignorant attention seeking rent seeker. A leech on the public purse strings. A favourite go to of the Murdoch propaganda.

Fuk she is just plain dumb. The is no hidden genius behind the facade. She just really has no god damn idea about anything really. It's a stain on Australia that she is even relevant and I await the final day that her name is never spoken again.

jez_1985 Well she got that right.

FitzgeraldCoach Its also the fault of bloody little sh!ts that are starting these fires. Plus the Greenies and their attacks on farmers.

PaulineHansonOz is our voice 😃👏👏👏👏👍❤️🌹

BillDobell And she is right

Who is in government 🤔

More dog whistling for her demented followers.

Hanson is an idiot. Pity the Prime Minister slashed funding and won’t meet with Fire Chiefs.

People use to go and collect fallen branches and cut fallen frees for firewood but Greens and Labor put a stop to it a while ago even use to allow cattle to roam and eat grass etc but put a stop to that they say cattle damage the ground that's how much of imbeciles they are!!

Every farmer says this! They’ve been wanting to take measures to avoid this but blocked by green and labour “feel good for the city folk” policies.

True

Yes she should come up with Trumps policy . Give the farmers rakes

Gibberer. A Complete Gibberer!

Meanwhile in Pauline’s head

Right on the money again Pauline!

For gods sake stop thinking about politics and think about lives and property. 🤬

Stick with the propaganda mob Murdoch / 2Gb Pauline but just remember Labor or the Greens are not in government and time is catching up on them all .

GreensPoliciesToBlame

jez_1985 There are many problem like that in Australia every year. the main purpose is thinking how to stop this problem. We don't need to say about this belong to which party because Australia is Our Country. So we try to find out what is good reason to cause bushfire?we have plan stopit

So not the party in power federally for the last 6 years and 18 of the last 23? How about Gladys - last 8 years. I blame you Pauline. Seems equally plausible.

I blame Pauline’s hair

The Greens AND Labor now! I wondered how long that would take.

She must be trying to extract another favour from the LNP... What this time Pauline? Weaker gun laws?

jez_1985 Totally agree they are even planting more trees in known wind tunnels along walking tracks & never clear anything - not talking about burns just keeping clean

One Nation, the only conservative party in Australia.

incredingo Pauline’s spot on

Shouldn’t the local councils have the authority to burn off when required?

Agree

When they fine people for clearing their private properties, shut off thousands of hectares to the public and don't maintain it, prevent people from collecting debri and prevent cattle grazing, it was a recipe for disaster, but they already know that, it's their policies at fault

Pauline Hanson said it? Must be true and newsworthy then.

And again Pauline is spot on, but these leftist morons will consistently fight her because she speaks the truth and thats something thats beyond each and every one of them. FACT!

For the uneducated One Nation ... sometimes ignorance is bliss, but it's no excuse.

Consistently ignorant

Yes Pauline’s spot on with this.

Moron

Hanson and Bolt - simple minds dealing with a complex problem. Low expectations.

This was on Sky News, why are we not surprised?

Wow..... You just can't fix that level of one nation stupid

But, 'if nothing', I blame the lnp .

OMG this is crazy why the blame game again. Just fix the problem

Agree!!!

Pauline Hanson 'is playing the populist card on milk' : Bernardi | Sky News AustraliaIndependent Senator Cory Bernardi says Pauline Hanson “is playing the populist card” on milk following her failed push to have a base price implemented for the commodity. \n\nOne Nation leader Pauline Hanson had said she was “really devastated” when a bill to require the ACCC to determine a base price for milk failed in the Senate by one vote. \n\n'The idea that somehow consumers should be forced to pay more [for milk] because Pauline Hanson wants to throw a hissy fit in the Senate is just a joke,” Mr Bernardi told Sky News host Paul Murray. \n\n“No one is talking about having a floor price for yogurt, or for cheese or anything else… this is retreating back to the 1970s,” he said. \n\nMr Bernardi said a floor price for goods “doesn’t work, it’s as simple as that”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia corybernardi PaulineHansonOz corybernardi is a few levels below PaulineHansonOz corybernardi PaulineHansonOz Nope. The Nats rooted dairy farmers, refused to guarantee a minimum price for milk, and sold them out to corporate interests. corybernardi PaulineHansonOz The Senator needs to go to France, Spain or Portugal and try to buy fresh milk.

Bureaucrats, academics, journalists, celebrities, CEO’s, drive policy and climate change is the theme of their elitist deception.
