'It's been a year dominated by lunacy and stupidity by activists' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Chris Smith has scoffed at modern activism, telling host Peta Credlin that 2019 has been “a year dominated by lunacy and stupidity”.\n\nMr Smith’s comments come after the Greens tried and failed to get a hot air balloon over Parliament House on Tuesday emblazoned with the slogan ‘it’s a climate emergency’.\n\n“They don't do their homework,” Mr Smith said.\n\nMr Smith then rounded on animal liberators who trespass on private land to rescue animals at abattoirs, before finally taking aim at Extinction Rebellion. \n\n“The animal ‘libbers’ - they go and stay on private land which you’re not supposed to do, so they’ve forced legislation that makes it illegal,” he said. \n\n“Then you’ve got the Extinction mob who created these craft classes by sticking themselves to the ground… it’s just total stupidity.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n How do the collective GENII explain the warming of the other planets in our Solar system, that do not contain humans?

AFP forced marriage crackdown gives 'opportunity' to get help | Sky News AustraliaAustralian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner Debbie Platz says the AFP’s crackdown on forced marriages through a new airport campaign should give young people “the opportunity” to get help. \n\nThe AFP has implemented a trial at Sydney Airport, which involves the placement of posters in bathrooms to reach potential victims before they are shipped overseas and forced into marriage.\n\n“It gives them an opportunity not just to see the advertisement, it directs them to websites where they can go for help,” Ms Platz said.\n\n“What we’ve found in the past is just that small piece of information can be really important when they find themselves overseas.” \n Whishful thinking. AFP generally has very high intentions but often is constrained by some combination of politics, funding, idealism, inability to convince someone in the hierarchy (& the community) of an actual effective plan. Hence hearts & minds campaigns. New airport campaign? So people who are most effected by forced marriages are located at airports predominantly? Why airports and not anywhere else? So much being said without it actually being said
