Prime Minister Scott Morrison has argued hazard reduction burning is action "to take account of the climate we're living in," and said any royal commission into Australia’s bushfire crisis should take no more than six months.
"You talk about action on climate change, that’s what that is. Hazard reduction is action to take account of the climate we’re living in, which is a more challenging environment over the next decade and beyond," Mr Morrison said. But any new inquiry should look into Australia's performance at adapting to hotter summers, including whether the country should adopt national targets for hazard reduction burning, he said.
They don't care it's all about the mighty dollar it's sickening mining dams land clearing logging water selling and stealing they don't give a s
As long as the RC focuses on Y a national leader can take a holiday while the country is going up in flames; as long as the RC focuses on why the federal government is so out of step with states & keeps denying damage being done, it’s a good idea. Aim will b 2 distract & divert.
How about Royal Commission, no finish time, full power and Jurisdiction, without any restriction to investigating WORKSAFE dodgy, secret, poison, anti-Workers/public, very biased, defending protecting, making excuses for bosses OH&S breaches and dismissing Digital photo evidence
No. They're. Not!!!
In 1947, Sydney had massive hail storms.. no different than today. What's different today, is spreading population. This population has more power lines. More power lines next to trees, that fall in summer time due to heat. Gums fall easy when they dry out. Bark shed power lines.
There are too many trees alongside or near Power lines, which are continuing to grow.. no pruning or trees removed by councils. The latest is that now Gums are planted on side walks, and have branches crashing onto side walks and opposite Power lines. Put Power lines underground.
What RC?
Why not have a royal commission into the liberal party That would be very interesting their failures and their deceit
Waste of money as per usual
He has his baseball cap of knowledge on......
Royal commission is a waste of time and money
Don’t be fooled - the federal government has no input/say/funding into public land management and fire response/agencies - it all lays with each state. Any royal commission would be a waste of tax payers money and this is the LNP and ScoMo trying to get back some support.
Did he get expert advice on this?Or just a diversion to cover up for rorts.
Makes sense.
Trump style idiocy and wilful ignorance
It’s part of his religious plan. Burn and torch the place so he and his chosen wackos are then taken off to Hillsong heaven.
ScottMorrisonMP has no vision for the country doesn’t another term in office
ScottyFromMarketting cooked himself
Scumo
If Scott knows the answers why waste money on a royal commission? This could end up like the sports grants disaster.
Stop wasting money on things you don't really need to spend it on. Just use common sense.
What a dangerous fool - he knows nothing about climate - so why listen to him?
Great interview.
He will never learn will he? SackScoMo
He just can’t tell the truth
Scotty from Marketing has fallen into a very dangerous trap ... of his own making. He thinks that keeping himself on the front pages with vacuous oxygen theft like this will make people believe he’s a leader. It has the opposite effect but he’s too thick to understand that.
Let’s burn more coal
This Government is a hazard.
Morrison has no idea, doesn’t listen to the facts on climate change and bushfire remediation, and hasn’t got the courage to take a leadership role in real policies and actions on these issues.
This is not okay. ScottyfromMarketing will burn us all down. This inept CrimeMinister and his gang of goon must go.
Troglodytes unite !
PM Scott Morrison has decided environmental degradation including land clearing what he & his Govt want from a compromised RC. Not meaningful ClimateAction requiring emission reductions. auspol BushFireCrisisAustralia
6 months!!!?
Steady on Scotty - the objective of a Royal Commission is to take evidence from the experts - not the opinions of well meaning amateurs (i.e. politicians). A case of premature adjudication.
Where is the evidence? Who are his data sources? Are they creditable? The least he could do is tell the punters who his sources are. More chance of being believed. No chance at all without.
I don’t seem to have the same image in my head that I used to, when I read or hear the words ‘Prime Minister says’.
What will the experts/science say that hasn’t already been said?! It will be nothing more than a delay tactic to stop any kind of meaningful action on climate change.
Here is the news... bushfires largely caused by arsonists...CC has nothing much to do with it save for higher CO2 maybe causing greater plant growth and fuel load thus further justifying fuel-control burns. BushFireCrisisAustralia ArsonEmergency auspol fuelcontrol
The baseball caps are just annoying
Not even waiting for the RC. Agenda is clear with a total disdain for the ppl he serves intelligence
Is this statement backed by any kind of science, or just another off the cuff random comment Smoko ScottyfromMarketing CrimeMinister 😡
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Sounds like a plan to answer some of the important questions raised over recent weeks.
Wouldn’t know his arse from his elbow. For heaven’s sake, ask someone who is an expert and who knows
ThisIsNotJournalism How can you let this crap from bullshitboy ScottyfromMarketing go unchallenged DO YOUR JOB ffs
Only if he confides himself the hazard
Can we do a hazard reduction burn on the CrimeMinister and the CrimeCabinet. That will cut the emissions.
What a waste of money —
Futile alt-right tropes from cabal of RWNJ media, loggers, miners, fossil fuel shills and their sponsored corrupt politicians - government of CrimeMinister Morrison 1. More burning of forests (ineffective) 2. Blame arsonists (not lightning) 3. More dams (to be empty)
Nope
WA, uses prescribed burning. It's a pain in the arse, especially when BOM can't predict wind direction, and populated areas get smoked out. The alternative is unthinkable, we will suffer our prescribed burns.
This bloke is the village idiot.
What rubbish
The PM is a god damn liar
Yeah, nah. Apples and oranges. Good try though...
Staged.
