Sky News host Chris Smith says Prime Minister ScottMorrisonMP has “thrown the kitchen sink at relief and recovery,” in the face of the devastating bushfire crisis gripping the nation.

Sky News host Chris Smith says Prime Minister Scott Morrison has “thrown the kitchen sink at relief and recovery,” in the face of the devastating bushfire crisis gripping the nation. Mr Smith said the prime minister has produced a “Herculean effort” to address bushfires in the nation since he returned from a widely criticised family holiday to Hawaii in December.

Despite Mr Morrison facing a “political pile-on”, Mr Smith said climate protesters should be targeting their demands at the United States, China and India, as opposed to Australia. “According to climate scientists,” Mr Smith said, those are the countries that “can change the rate of warming”. The Morrison government is now “acting on, and changing policy to appease the loudest voices, voices who stupidly think that we can change the weather from Australia,” Mr Smith said.

ScottMorrisonMP SCOTT MORRISON IS A PATHETIC MAN BULLYING A WOMEN FORCING HER TO SHAKE HIS HAND...AND HE LEFT AUSTRALIA BEHIND AS HE WENT ON HOLIDAY.. THATS WHAT HE HAS DONE AND THE AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE WANT HIM OUT AS PM OF AUSTRALIA HE IS NOT FIT FOR PM.

ScottMorrisonMP I think these fires were planned well in advance setting in place conditions enabling fires to burn at unbelievable pace. This not a natural disaster, it is a major arson event. Who is responsible is to be discovered same with the fires of Kevin Rudd day. Was it agenda 21, NWO.?

chrissmithonair ScottMorrisonMP Sounds a bit like damage control doesn’t it? And yet (available) water bombing aircraft sit unused across the Pacific, much like the NDRRF report that’s been sitting in Dutton’s Dept since mid-2018. Sorry ScottyFomMarketing but too little, too late. auspol

ScottMorrisonMP Which Liberal Party hack thought up the 'throwing the kitchen sink' line that Smith is parroting? No chance he was the author, he's either under the weather or groping someone.

ScottMorrisonMP You're kidding. The man's been AWOL whilst the electorate screams for his head. Celebrities are outgunning him 100:1. At least tell us how much the uneducated anti-climate change sector has put in your pocket!

ScottMorrisonMP Does this count as Chris exposing himself again?

ScottMorrisonMP Well done ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP liberalaus bitch Chris smith

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP Can’t wait for the “Herculean” marvel-comic style memes on this one 😂 australiafire btw: BoycottMurdoch

ScottMorrisonMP We are way past the stage of needing a kitchen sink. We need an Olympic sized swimming pool.

ScottMorrisonMP And the Murdoch propaganda for Hawaii Boy gets turned up to 11...

ScottMorrisonMP OMG. Why am I reading this?

ScottMorrisonMP Yes, the one in his daughter's dollhouse. So tiny it's completely useless.

ScottMorrisonMP what a lot of bull shit he has been hiding under a rock

chrissmithonair ScottMorrisonMP I thought he threw a bag of groceries at it, no?

ScottMorrisonMP When they say 'host', do they mean 'fluffer'?

ScottMorrisonMP No, Morrison threw his feet up and is now throwing the kitchen sink at self preservation. It's what he does best. But of course Smith thinks Morrison's doing a good job. Here's Smith's baseline for doing a good job. Maybe get someone else's opinion?

ScottMorrisonMP Only thing he was Throwing down chrissmithonair was a couple of Cold ones🤔🤔

ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is throwing desperation & damage control (trying to cover his arse/reputation) at this fire catastrophe. It's hilarious when certain media outlets spin a bias towards this incompetent, imbecile of a man. The public can can the idiocy of who Morrison really is... 😉

ScottMorrisonMP A sink full of WATER on the first fire would have been a welcome gesture.

ScottMorrisonMP Only because he had to due to people being so angry. Took him weeks to even admit there was a problem.

ScottMorrisonMP ScottMorrisonMP is failing to protect Australia from catastrophic climate change events. The scientific warnings have been clear for decades. The responsibility for the scale of devastation rests with the leadership. AustralianFires ClimateEmegency

ScottMorrisonMP No he hasn't ? He hasn't done anything the ESA would expect in the circumstances. His in-action, his climate denialism, his zealotry, his holidays in Hawaii, his lack of competence...is what his polls now reflect, and will continue here down the Sth Coast matey.

ScottMorrisonMP Chris Smith is a shill and talks through his backside. Knows SFA.

ScottMorrisonMP 😂😂😂

ScottMorrisonMP Yeah...thrashed it with a soggy tram ticket!

ScottMorrisonMP 'Herculean'? He must be referring to the time Hercules murdered his family

ScottMorrisonMP I'm wondering why a Herculean effort was not made by the PM for our farmers who are desperate and suffering through drought. All the livestock that has been lost not only in the devastating bushfires but also in drought.

ScottMorrisonMP What a load of rubbish. Your nose couldn't get any browner

ScottMorrisonMP 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

ScottMorrisonMP Aaaaaaand the lies continue.

ScottMorrisonMP Just the way the corrupt lying cheating thieving liberal and nats bastards do things the party of ambulances at the bottom of the cliff and photo opportunities for the guilty

ScottMorrisonMP Just like his assistance package with sneaky and mean clauses for the fireys, its when and how he delivers it that matters, not what he announces, but what actually gets done.

ScottMorrisonMP He was ignoredall the detailed warnings and left us undefended while fire fighting assets sat idle overseas. Then he pissed off on holidays. Spare us this bullshit from the appalling Chris Smith. Pretty insulting for your women employees that you think it's fine to employ him.

ScottMorrisonMP Chris Smith the Scott Morrison stooge that’s a delusional nutter. That’s why SkyNews employs him.

ScottMorrisonMP Who cares what he says...

ScottMorrisonMP Why do we get feed this bloody Bull Dust. Do you think we Joe & Mary public are stupid.🤠

ScottMorrisonMP All he's throwing is a tantrum

ScottMorrisonMP Twottle.

ScottMorrisonMP Oh what rubbish. Enough spin guys. Time to stand up for what us right and to protect our country. You are currently collaborators in the steady destruction of Australia, ecologically, economically, socially and culturally.

ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is the PM and what he has done is no different to what any other Pm would and should do so let’s not put him on a pedestal stool for that .

ScottMorrisonMP Is that the Chris Smith who has been accused of indecent exposure several times?

ScottMorrisonMP Here’s the thing: If ScottyfromMarketing had bothered to listen to experts earlier and put some preventive measures in place, this so-called “Herculean” sink-tossing wouldn’t be necessary and he wouldn’t be making a fool of himself by screwing up the relief effort.

ScottMorrisonMP Time for everyone including readers of all Murdoch media and viewers of fox skynews & the long list of Murdoch rags to BoycottMurdoch BoycottNewscorp BoycottSkyNews unsubscribeFOX We need to protect our kids future our water supply, food stock, environ Murdochs killing it

ScottMorrisonMP Oh per-leeeeeease!!!

ScottMorrisonMP Sky News Murdoch minion praises Libs. That can be the headline you run every single day, just to save time. See also: Sky News Murdoch minion blames Labor, Greens. You're welcome.

ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish

ScottMorrisonMP BS

ScottMorrisonMP Yea they just want cash bro, hook them up and stop means testing volunteers

ScottMorrisonMP Really?

ScottMorrisonMP Oh please.

ScottMorrisonMP Clearly that sink had hit Chris Smith in the head.... Another chicken Little reporting by newscorpse

ScottMorrisonMP Trouble is the Kitchen Sink has done nothing to combat the Fires or the Drought, and it doesn't matter how many he throws.

ScottMorrisonMP A bit slow out of the blocks, wasn’t he? Attempting to throw the kitchen sink on his trip to India via Hawaii now has him strung up in a web of lies of his own making. AustraliaBurning 🔥 MorrisonPartying 🥳

ScottMorrisonMP on last night's news residents in Mallacoota said they need a water bomber... there are not enough aerial bombers

ScottMorrisonMP Maybe, but the cat is out of the bag. Our leader is a great follower, but lacks vision, compassion and integrity. auspol

ScottMorrisonMP ScottMorrisonMP kelliekelly23 Fake news baits PM Morrison about bushfires in Australia exactly same as fake news bullies POTUS 'The press repeatedly baits POTUS asking him about global warming and trying to discredit him as a climate change 'denier''

ScottMorrisonMP Actually he’s thrown the barn door , cos the horse has bolted

ScottMorrisonMP Yep spot on

ScottMorrisonMP Spin it whichever way you like - we ain’t buying it!

ScottMorrisonMP Yes, so it seems. The problem is that no one is asking for a kitchen sink.

ScottMorrisonMP Isn’t Chris a sex offender?

ScottMorrisonMP The lnp can't replace a decade of denial, inaction, and abuse of experts by bullying media into thinking a melee of photo ops and a phone call to the RAN constitutes any more than saving face and post parliament job opportunities for local members. auspol ausdef abcnews

ScottMorrisonMP Great demonstration of reactive policy on the run

ScottMorrisonMP Was this that “groper at work” Chris Smith? The moron who called ScottyfromMarketing ‘the greatest PM we’ve ever had”😂😂😂? Oh please tell us more about what he thinks. FFS, Chris Smith....😂😂😂

ScottMorrisonMP Good on you Scomo

ScottMorrisonMP How has chris smith decided where in a relief & recovery phase. February is usually the worst bushfire month. Morrison under duress finally hires 4 heavy waterbombing planes. 60 heavies are doing jack shit in California. He refuses to hire them. Why?

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP Chris who?

ScottMorrisonMP Ah, no, thats bullshit. Vast areas will still burn before summer is out, & still, Morrison hasnt hired the 60 heavy fixed wing water bombers sitting idle in California. Victims have used $1000 payment in 2 weeks & have nowhere to live. He hasnt ordered 2000 temp kit homes either

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP Chris Smith is a pro-government shill who amazingly still has a career in the media despite exposing himself at a party...he is not credible. Speaking of not credible. The PM who went to Hawaii while Australia burned.

ScottMorrisonMP So why didn't he get the water bombing planes from the US during these catastrophic fires?

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP

ScottMorrisonMP We voted against ClimateHysteria on the 18/5/19 and we don't want any changes.

ScottMorrisonMP He just didn't throw any money

ScottMorrisonMP And it's still out of control and lives being lost

ScottMorrisonMP BoycottMurdoch

ScottMorrisonMP Only after being dragged kicking and screaming to the table!

ScottMorrisonMP And yet some people will still not be happy! Dammed if you do and dammed If you don’t !!!

ScottMorrisonMP See, that's the problem Chris. He's 'thrown the kitchen sink', but ignored the fundamental issue: coal. ScottyFromMarketting LowIQnews

ScottMorrisonMP I wanted to comment on that photo - but i feel for ya, Sky. I guess there simply aren't any shots of ScottyfromMarketing that don't show him looking like the smug bastard he is. But - you DID clear the shot. Again - not surprised at all. nothing to see here, right? Yay!

ScottMorrisonMP Morrison is Kidding NO ONE

ScottMorrisonMP The propaganda machine rolls on

ScottMorrisonMP 😂😂😂 always in election mode our little trump ScottyfromMarketing

ScottMorrisonMP Not according to the leftie morons in the press, who take every thing he does or says and twist it to make him out as some sort of ogre, the level the press has sunken to is unbelievable.

ScottMorrisonMP Who are you trying to kid? 🤡

ScottMorrisonMP Well he is very rested from his Hawaiian holiday. The kitchen sink he is throwing around is that from the over 2000 homes that burned down.

ScottMorrisonMP What’s with the constant smarmy smirk on ScottMorrisonMP ‘s mush?

ScottMorrisonMP Too little too late.

ScottMorrisonMP Oh, yeah... flash us one, Chris!

chrissmithonair ScottMorrisonMP He has given 0.0001% of annual federal revenue to our wildlife. What a hero.

ScottMorrisonMP It won’t matter what he does or doesn’t do , fault will be found.

ScottMorrisonMP He only did this because his hand was forced .He hates giving away money .What cuts or levy’s will he put on the taxpayers to get this money back . Voters have every right to vent their anger at apprentice PM Scott Morrison .Turnbull would have acted immediately.

ScottMorrisonMP Only Sky News could be so daft. They look and are foolish and irrelevant to so many of us. No time for this stupid TV station.

ScottMorrisonMP Rubbish.

ScottMorrisonMP Shame ScottMorrisonMP got confused between a kitchen sink and much needed money 😂 Was the sink a souvenir from Hawaii I wonder

ScottMorrisonMP BoycottMurdoch

ScottMorrisonMP Dirty Scomo

ScottMorrisonMP He also threw lies and blame his children for his holiday!! Great leadership! What grubby little person blames their own children

ScottMorrisonMP Chrissy Christopher,,,A real Government man,,,knees on the ground press club cap on back to front hands holding balance leaning forward,,tongue out cleaning the leather finish of his masters boot being patted on the head,,,what a fine animal indeed,,,$$$ tip!

ScottMorrisonMP Pandering to the very people who hate him and forgetting about those who supported him. I've said it many times, I'll say it again, this is Turnbull Mkll !

ScottMorrisonMP Someone is arson around with this!

chrissmithonair ScottMorrisonMP Give the man a medal! Herculean! What a joke but then it is Chris Smith the biggest joke in town.

chrissmithonair ScottMorrisonMP Chris smiths goes to bed and dreams of scomo

ScottMorrisonMP notthenews thisisshit howmuchmoreshit

ScottMorrisonMP doesn't need the kitchen sink - just the water

ScottMorrisonMP chrissmithonair gets the hyperbole stick out again

ScottMorrisonMP The Labor green political movement couldn't care less if Morrison rebuilt every fire damaged home in the country. They want political blood and revenge for losing yet another election. And in 2 years time when Morrison shows he's still the same strong leader Labor will lose again

ScottMorrisonMP Not really. Still a heap of water bombers sitting on the tarmac in Canada that was offered to us. And even if he did, two months too late until he started getting bad press. Pathetic.

ScottMorrisonMP All most believable!!!!! Almost

ScottMorrisonMP Chris Smith: class act.

Bushfire crisis plunges Scott Morrison into 'disastrous' territory | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says 'unfortunately' for Prime Minister Scott Morrison the bushfire crisis has become all 'about him' after the latest Newspoll showed the Coalition had fallen behind Labor. \n\nThe latest Newspoll figures have the Labor Party sitting at 51 per cent compared to the Coalition’s 49 per cent on a two-party preferred basis.\n\nOpposition Leader Anthony Albanese is now also the preferred prime minister after Mr Morrison's approval rating plunged.\n\nMr Clennell said it was a “pretty disastrous result for Scott Morrison” especially “when you consider he won the miracle election last May”. \n\n“[Anthony] Albanese must be laughing because he hasn’t even come up with a single policy, it’s like Morrison is behind an empty chair at the moment in terms of the preferred prime minister,” he said.\n\n“The danger to Scott Morrison is the view of his colleagues and whether they start to lose confidence. \n\n“Unfortunately for Scott Morrison the bushfire crisis has become about him.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia aclennell ScottMorrisonMP Unfortunately, this is designed by the left, they have been relentless and unfair, since they didn't even care state leaders were on holiday, who actually we're responsible.
