PM Morrison has delivered a 'Herculean effort' on bushfire relief and recovery | Sky News AustraliaSky 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. \n\nMr 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.\n\nDespite 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.\n\n“According to climate scientists,” Mr Smith said, those are the countries that “can change the rate of warming”. \n\nThe 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. \n\nImage: Getty\n ScottMorrisonMP Chris Smith: class act. ScottMorrisonMP All most believable!!!!! Almost 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.

'climate change' ok? 🧐 May all Australians stay safe. It's unfathomable that people would start fires. Climate is also a factor that needs to be addressed.

Tensions rise between US and Iran | Sky News AustraliaSenior Fellow at the Cato Institute Doug Bandow says “it’s certainly true that the US has ramped up the pressure” but the Iranians “should be held accountable”.\n\n“None of the current tensions would be there if the president had not dropped out of the JCPOA, the nuclear agreement, and applied a lot of different sanctions,” Mr Bandow told Sky News.\n\n“The environment that has been created is a very negative one, but this is a mistake of the Iranians and they should be held accountable”.\n\nImage: Getty\n What? it's ok for Iran to start wars, sponsor terrorism all over the world, but it's not ok to retaliate when the danger reaches our own people?
