"To try and make out - as some politicians have - to hijack this debate and exploit this tragedy, to push their ideological barrow that somehow or other the Australian government could have done something to reduce its climate emissions that would have reduced these bushfires is just complete nonsense."A former regular guest on Sky News Australia, Mr Kelly was in September last year denied permission by the Prime Minister's office to appear on the ABC's Q&A program.

"I follow the science," Mr Kelly declared after being challenged by the show's weather expert Laura Tobin on Australia's climate emission reductions pledge.

Has anyone asked Liberal MP Craig Kelly how much he collects in corporate donations from the mining & fossil fuel industries ? Because clearly auspol is involved in corruption with FossilFuels!

Nutter

We probably won't have to worry about campaigning to become a republic after Kelly's performance. The Queen and the Commonwealth will want rid of us as we're too much of an embarrassment.

Pies don’t make you fat either

Too many old guys. We need young people, women, people of all ethnic backgrounds to bring in a new guard for Australia

Another disgraceful Australian politician. Bring back Julia Gillard so we can Lead The Way AGAIN

He doesn't need to be accused of it. He reveals it himself willingly enough.

In other news water is wet

A government of incompetent idiots-

Good to see not everybody has been brainwashed by the climate chanhe fiasco

A disgrace

SBS Ostrich!!!!!

SBS Crazy when even piers morgan, well known right wing shit-stirrer/phone hacker is the one making sense!

SBS Australian Police have been talking to the arsonists that lit the fires. Are they 'climate change deniers' too? And stop trying to conflate 'climate change' skepticism (which is the scientific attitude) with holocaust denial (which is evil) -with the use of the work 'denial' ✊

SBS He's also being outed as a misogynist.

SBS He came across so well

AustraliaFires hey world? Look where these earth hating nut jobs are trying to take this narrative! ScottFromMarketing want to deny temperature extremes and changes in climate, so they can wipe out every bit of vegetation in the country and sell water.

Are they showing this on any murdoch newscorp heraldsun theaustralian tennetwork etc

Well Australian troops will have boots on the ground in Iran soon and we can ignore climate change perhaps?

Thanks GB

What bunk, it will probably rain with floods soon, welcome to Australia and it’s extremes.

British TV needs to butt out of Australia's matters and stick to there own problems like brexit.

yebosfaye Birder1969L He must be blind wake silly fool it's steering you right in your face the facts are there for us all to see wake and say we've got it totally wrong from past to today decision making it needs a massive change from us all to give future generations a better life...

Making Aussies a laughing stock. 9NewsAUS

This is why we can't have nice things

And Kelly is right though

I apologise to the rest of the world, we are not all idiots like this muppet. Every country has them but we seem to have more than our fair share and they are in government at the moment, but not for much longer. Take your enormous pension and start walking mate!

APadeau Na, he's just an idiot, we have lots of them.

Kelly is as thick as a BRICK

I’m surprised the BBC didn’t seek Senator Malcolm Roberts comments on climate change, now that will have really generated some laughs from their audience.... Australia laughed at Trump. Now the world is laughing at us...

Why can’t Australian Journalists hold the government to account in this manner?

That's why I'm so disturbed people keep voting for the Liberal/National party. Murdoch and other complicit media are a big part of the problem as well.

This is why ScottyfromMarketing told him to stfu

Inaction suits the Liberals. Imagine how many more mines will get approved when your environmental studies only indicate that there used to be a forest on the proposed site.

I'm not one to get embarrassed about anything to do with Australia, most countries have good and bad points, but for a member of our govt. to go on British TV and be such an idiot that Piers Morgan, of all people, calls him a climate denier, we'll, that's f'ing embarrassing.

Clearly the acceptance that climate change has always been a factor to Morrison hasn’t been filtered down to all.

wow SBS can you push your climate change propaganda any further. Graig Kelly is right. Brushfires are weather events not climate change. Also how to you explain the sudden rise in arson attacks?
