Australia is 'land of droughts and flooding rains' despite climate change | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny has lashed out at the ABC, saying the public broadcaster uses Australian taxes “against” the public to “push their chosen political and ideological line on climate change”.\n\n“As I've demonstrated before by reference to the science - the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change no less - and other sources, there is no way you can scientifically blame Australia's current drought to climate change,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“But the ABC is intent on making the link, even playing 'gotcha' politics to force politicians to make a pointless concession … It seems they can't handle the truth.”\n\nMr Kenny added that Australia is “land of droughts and flooding rains” and it will be “so long as we exist on this continent”.\n The man is insignificant. Reporting well understood science is now apparently pushing a political and ideology agenda. Kenny is getting more and more obsessed and fixated with the ABC. Does he every do a program that doesn’t include “lash(ing) out at the ABC” 'The science' he says, hoping to god no one watched Media Watch on said target channel inserting what he consistently omitted from this week's 'totally rock solid rebuttal' snippet. Wonder why he's angry tho lol 😢

Any woman married into Islam HAS NO CHOICES we can’t grasp that. They have NO CHOICE... to say that will expose the real heart of Islam. These women as damned either way. Just NO. This guy has got a nerve. Why should anyone risk their lives for this nonsense? Let's see how many parents of serving members volunteer to have their children's lives put at risk for these idiots. How come your daughter is over there? Was it something she learnt at home to make her go?

Greens climate protest deflated by 'political interference' | Sky News AustraliaThe Greens’ plan to fly a hot air balloon over Parliament House has been deflated after a last-minute air traffic ban prevented it from taking flight.\n\nGreens leader Richard Di Natale hit out at the Morrison government accusing it of political interference after the balloon was grounded by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority. \n\nMr Di Natale said while the protest demonstration was stopped, the Prime Minister would not 'keep our voices silent'. \n\n'[Mr Morrison] sits on his hands when it comes to a climate emergency, but throws the book at people who are protesting peacefully because they’re sick of government inaction,' he said.\n\nThe plan ran aground after Speaker Tony Smith and Senate President Scott Ryan spoke to the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), which has since put a temporary ban on flying over Parliament House.\n\nThe Greens claim they already obtained approval from the Australian Federal Police and CASA. There more hot air in the Greens then in the balloon. Horrid people take advantage of a crisis to push their pathetic political barrow. Let it fly & use it as target practice.
