Politicians from all major parties have slammed Barnaby Joyce's controversial bushfire comments

Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young tweeted the comments were"unbelievably low, even for him".

"How does he know who they voted for and why does it matter? They're dead; they died in a bushfire. Isn't that enough?" Senator Keneally said.'A really long night': Crews keep up bushfire fight as fresh winds 'worsen things dramatically'"There have been a lot of provocative comments made over the last few days from all sides of the debate and I find it very unhelpful," Mr Morrison told reporters in Canberra.

Tuntable Falls resident Amanda Collien and two-year-old daughter Etienne make their position known on the government's climate policies.My Joyce stirred controversy earlier Tuesday while blaming the minor party for increasing the threat of bushfires.

When will New England voters give him the flick?

Next headline please ScottMorrisonMP acted like a PM and sacked (or did whatever in his power he can do) Barnaby_Joyce .

He's lost it. 9NewsAUS

He should have a statue erected in New England so his Voters can remember the prick that done nothing for them except dump his family in the middle of NSW ...

Gina, please do Australia a favour, Barnaby's family and Barnaby, pay him to stay at home and shut up.

Foot in mouth syndrome

Time for Barnaby to resign and crawl away.

Looks like time for a beer with your few mates Barn.

You will be surprised how low he can go. His morals are already questionable after his affair with a staffer is well publicised which, itself is farcical.

Yes poor old Barnaby seems to have lost the plot

BJ is a twat

Not enough. Strip him of office.

Get out Barnaby, get the fck out of parliament.

He's hit rock bottom so there's nowhere left to go.

banas51 So he should be sackhim NOW

He made the comments because he wants to lead the Nationals again and is in a pissing contest with Macormack

When u say something right the media has to diverse it.. go barnaby

He should never been allowed to return to Parliament.

Australians from all over Australia voted AGAINST Labor...... Grow up and get over your angst!!!

Sounds like his comments weren't controversial at all but rather they were simply complete piffle.

Why are you still being federally funded with such low ratings? ScottMorrisonMP

This is the 20th comment and that speaks volumes about your bias SBS!!!!!

I’ve walked the streets of Beijing and Mumbai. And if anyone gets there knickers in a knot about how we’re doing in Australia on this front - think again. We need to have the collective brains to convince and assist other countries to follow a path to clear air!

It was a weird comment.

OMG Barnaby_Joyce . Please take a chill pill and perhaps volunteer to help out and keep your mouth shut. There are a lot of other politicians that could do the same. It would be more helpful right now.

I reckon auspol really is following the US example & Barmy deliberately stirred controversy so bullshitboy could 'call for calm from both sides of the debate' after ThoughtsAndPrayers and nowsnotthetime failed. Feeding false balance.

People asked “How low could you go” thinking that it might change his behaviour. Barnaby took it as a challenge

Yet he doesnt get a seat on the back bench. What does it take? A murder?

Glenn Iness mayor is Greens. Greens' policy is to avoid back burning to protect wildlife. 2 people died as a result. They are too hyper focused on climate change nonsense

As they should, Barnaby has out lived his stay. Just waiting to see if his constituents will back him in the next election.

Such a wilder beast

LesStonehouse You still here Barnaby?

Diversion

beetrooter You fucking jackass!

Go easy on him. I'd guess he forgot his meds today.

That Barnaby Joyce is a bit of a shitcunt isn't he.

Another Barnaby own goal?!

He deliberately said them to redirect public outrage from their real murderous failure to act and ongoing rape of your country

Enjoy the cake you baked Lefties, no good crying now 😭😭

Can this human-beetroot hybrid just slink off back to the compost pile already?

As they should he should be censured and resign tomorrow. This is certainly a low point in Australian politics and will be a stain on him for ever.

Joyce suggests two people who died in NSW fires 'most likely' voted for the GreensFormer deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has suggested two people who died in the NSW bushfires 'most likely' voted for the Greens as he criticised the party for arguing that climate change policies and unprecedented fires were linked. What did he say I feel sick. What a truly disgusting thing to say. I see. So we’re meant to destroy all our bushland and wildlife because pollution and excess carbon emissions have made our climate so hostile that NATURE is basically a tinderbox waiting to explode. Righty-o. “The Greens” 🤔 What should people do just concrete over it?
