US downgrades warning to tourists travelling to Australia | Sky News AustraliaThe Prime Minister has convinced the Trump administration to downgrade its travel warning urging US tourists to postpone travel to Australia due to the bushfires. \n\nScott Morrison reportedly made the plea to 'people very close' to the US president, and the request was discussed at 'senior levels' within the White House.\n\nThe travel warning for American tourists was revised following the prime minister's intervention. \n\nTourism Minister Simon Birmingham said the government was continuing to work to have the US warnings dropped back to the original levels. So the PM has got other duties other than putting out fires? He should be praised for this picking up the pieces of damage done by alarmists. The trump regime isnt know for its due diligence 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Climate activists like Greta Thunberg just want to 'upend society': Canavan | Sky News AustraliaResources Minister Matt Canavan says the real concern of environmental activists like Greta Thunberg is not about climate change, but to “upend society” and to “move away from capitalism”.\n\nAfter the Swedish teenager tried to expose a German telecommunications group, Siemens, as a contractor for the Adani Coal mine, Mr Canavan intervened and secured the company to stay and complete railway signalling at the site.\n\nMr Canavan told Sky News, “common sense has once again prevailed,” and said the “likes of Greta Thunberg” claim to be concerned with emissions reduction.\n\n“Their policy prescriptions aren’t actually about reducing carbon emissions, it’s about the radical massive changes to our economy and society”, he said.\n\nImage: AP Oh they get worse and worse A 15 year old protests by herself. Fast forward 2 years & canavan says her goal is to upend society. If thats true, its only due to a realisation 80% of people are being screwed by morally bankrupt billionaires & their proxies holding 90% of the worlds wealth. Why support that? Gotta love the right wing protecting rampant capitalism. Meanwhile, many of our largest companies turning over billions pay no tax.
