Sky News contributor Michael Ware says he was astounded by the “so many horrors” taking place in Melbourne’s hotel quarantine system which were propelled by the government’s “outsourced” security firms.

Reports emerged suggesting security guards employed to enforce quarantine measures on returned travellers slept with guests and allowed them to break strict isolation regulations by leaving their rooms. More than 50 cases of coronavirus have been so far linked back to the failed hotel quarantine system.

“Keeping our Australian public safe and protected from a global pandemic is essentially a sacred trust that we should hold in a government - the first thought is who on earth considered outsourcing this security,” Mr Ware told Sky News. “This takes professionals with honour who are in the service of their country,” he said. “Some of these [security] companies are just cowboys in it for the rork.

Reformed climate activist condemns ‘terrorising school children’ with false science | Sky News AustraliaFormer climate activist Michael Shellenberger has condemned alarmists for “terrorising school children” with false claims that the world is about to end.\n\nThe life-long environmentalist has given Sky News host Chris Kenny a lengthy interview about his decision to speak out against the alarmist rhetoric which he says is creating anxiety in young people. \n\n“I have a 14-year-old daughter and she is fine because I’ve explained the science to her (but) her friends are very alarmed,” he said. \n\n“Adolescents these days have a lot to worry about, anxiety and depression are rising among everyone really, certainly adolescents, and I thought it was not right to be terrorising school children and giving them false information.”\n\nShellenberger - who has been invited to be an expert reviewer to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - maintains that climate change is occurring but says it is not a “catastrophic threat”. \n\nHe says the science has been hijacked by a “handful” of activist scientists who are spreading “science fiction”.\n\n“The majority of scientists are not activists, there are actually only a handful of scientists who feel the need to terrify people,” he said.\n\n“I don’t think this is really that complicated, we need to lift everybody out of poverty, and we need to do our best to preserve natural places and things have just spiralled out of control.\n \n“This climate change thing has just got too crazy.”\n\nShellenberger said he had noticed a “dark tradition” of anti-human rhetoric spilling from climate change activists, including views that humans were a “cancer” or a virus.\n\nIn the second half of the interview – which will air on Sky News Australia on the Kenny Report at 5pm on Tuesday night – Shellenberger also weighs into whether climate change was a significant cause of the Australian bushfires.\n\n“Yes there is evidence of that,” he said.\n\n“However, It is massively outweighed by two factors; the accumulation of wood fuel in the fore ShellenbergerMD I can’t believe someone finally had the balls to tell the truth ShellenbergerMD Once in a while you get one of them with some basic integrity to tell the truth. It is usually a slow and gradual process of years. Let's hope it helps others wake to the fact of the fake hype of 'climate change.' ShellenbergerMD Glad to see this know-nothing getting a megaphone to spread climate denial disinformation. Sure was a very normal fire season this year that has nothing to do with increased energy in climate systems. 🤔

If Russia-Taliban claims are true it poses ‘dire consequences’ | Sky News AustraliaIf Russia is secretly offering bounties to the Taliban in exchange for the murder of US troops there will be “dire consequences” for Moscow’s relationship with the west, according to former foreign minister Alexander Downer.\n\nReports have surfaced suggesting US Intelligence believes Russia’s ties with the Taliban has deepened to the point that some Islamists received money on condition they killed American servicemen.\n\nRussian officials have denied paying Taliban bounties for American lives.\n\n“I wouldn’t have thought Russia would want to be that deeply embedded in conflict in particular with the US over Afghanistan,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\n“They’d be foolhardy to do it”.\n\n“Russia’s game is normally to try to make itself relevant because it’s a fading power”.\n\nImage: Getty Not as long as Putin's bitch is in the WhiteHouse ... I think Downer better just stick to not coming out of the closet ..... Don’t expect Trump to do anything to finger Russia. They have had something over him before he was even elected and was why they meddled in the election to get him elected I’m sure. It will all come out in the wash one day but not while he is sitting in the high chair!
