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 | MaxKoslowski

"What I wish [Greens MP Adam] Bandt would do is not try to extend this argument to political purposes ... to make these spurious links, that a policy change would have stopped the fires is so insulting and just completely beyond the pale.

"To say that a policy that is conducted in Australia from a room in Canberra, where 76 out of 150 will vote for it, will change the bushfire season is an absurdity and erroneous and it is completely misleading because it's going to have no effect on the climate whatsoever."Mr Joyce's controversial remarks come after Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday said politicians should not debate climate policy while emergency services conducted an "operational response".

Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack on Monday said the Greens were "inner-city raving lunatics" for discussing climate change as fires spread across the state. "We've had fires in Australia since time began, and what people need now is a little bit of sympathy, understanding and real assistance - they need help, they need shelter," the Nationals leader told ABC Radio National when asked about climate change.

"They don't need the ravings of some pure, enlightened and woke capital city greenies at this time, when they're trying to save their homes, when in fact they're going out in many cases saving other peoples' homes and leaving their own homes at risk."

MaxKoslowski No more than a nazi sending them to a death camp get rid of him before this event proves deadlier.

MaxKoslowski What a nasty grub is Barnaby_Joyce. Got any proof how they voted? Aren't ballots supposedly secret?

MaxKoslowski Awful man

MaxKoslowski Could he be any more of a grub. How on earth did he get elected.

MaxKoslowski BarnabyJoyceLNP .... just keep digging.....

MaxKoslowski The people who are in climate change denial are just going to be seen as lying clowns if they are not already?

MaxKoslowski Joyce has lost the plot. Time he removed himself from the political scene. Moron.

MaxKoslowski Sack him now. 🤬🤬

MaxKoslowski This man really needs some PR help.

MaxKoslowski Attention must always be on Barnaby.

MaxKoslowski Omg wat an idiot

MaxKoslowski He simply gave them their own medicine, and the reaction, as expected, is a meltdown from the climaphobe plague😂

MaxKoslowski How predictable for a bogan to make bogan comment in Boganville!? Here people have died, and this rustic, buffoonish bumpkin has this insensitive uncouth comment to make. That this man was Deputy PM is quite telling of an entire country's unabashed boganism, worn with pride too.

MaxKoslowski M_McCormackMP Does Barnaby_Joyce statements represent the position of the The_Nationals? Is this the standard that you and the Nationals are prepared to accept? If not, what are you going to do? Are you going to be a strong leader or let it run to divide the Nation?

MaxKoslowski Does this man have an education? More frequently and intense bushfires are but one of the outcomes of climate change. Whether you green, black or white, it is a scientific fact.

MaxKoslowski How many years in parliament and then how many years in govt? Then denigrating the dead is his response. I no longer shock easily but it shocked me. No action, no policies, just slurs.😔

MaxKoslowski He seems nice.

MaxKoslowski

MaxKoslowski Wanker

MaxKoslowski That’s pretty low even by Lib Nat standards

MaxKoslowski rockspider

MaxKoslowski Very much assh*le thing to say.

MaxKoslowski The Herald gives outsized influence to Joyce's remarks. I attach as much importance to the remarks of Barnaby Joyce as I do to Malcolm Roberts or Bob Katter. They're buffoons. They might be elected, but they're still buffoons.

MaxKoslowski Please. Let’s not provide the fool with the oxygen of publicity.

MaxKoslowski barnabyjoyce & MichaelMcCormack are a disgrace to the multinational water thieves they represent. Actually confirming they want the people of the Bush gone

MaxKoslowski Gross insensitivity & blatant political self interest. Whilst the Coalition Govt won’t allows us to talk about climate change during the current catastrophe- this ignorant bloke casts an apparent “slur” on 2 poor folk who died the worst death. Sackable offence. auspol

It is ‘sick’ that the Greens are ‘exploiting’ the bushfires | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says Greens MP Adam Bandt “is a fool” when it comes to climate science.\n\nThe Greens co-deputy leader has been criticised by Coalition MPs after he accused the government of “putting people’s lives at risk” due the government's “addicted to coal.”\n\n“We have always had bushfires in this country, we have always been a country of droughts and flooding rain, but the question is, why would you want to make it worse?” Mr Bandt told Sky News.\n\n“People have tried to put the government on notice that there are things that they can do to minimise risk and they have done nothing.”\n\nMr Bolt condemned anyone attempting “to blame these fires on global warming and the government”. \n\n“So what Adam Bandt and the Greens say is the answer to bushfires, [is to] cut our emissions [and] shut down industries,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“These people are in fact exploiting tragic bushfires to push their fake scare and peddle their totally fake cure”. \n\n“This is so sick,” said Mr Bolt. \n Your entire organisation makes the anti vaccination lobby look like NASA. That's being polite. Andrew Bolt should ask Bandt whos payroll he is on 😉
