Sky News host Alan Jones says rural Australia is “on its knees” with “no financial muscle left to fight back” unlike anything seen to date as locals face drought, dust storms and bushfires. “Dust storms are metaphorically the tears of the bush, blowing the wind,” Mr Jones said.
The broadcaster has called upon Prime Minister Scott Morrison to declare a national disaster and to “apply all the nation’s resources to saving rural Australia before it is too late”. He said Mr Morrison and Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese must “step up” with bipartisan support and work as one to fight “the monster” of nature that has consumed the country’s heartland. “This is a war situation, only this time nature has declared war on us all,” Mr Jones said.

Alan Jones calls on the PM to help farmers | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Alan Jones has called on the Prime Minister to take greater action for Australian farmers as drought and bushfires devastate parts of the country. \n\nSpeaking on Jones and Credlin, Mr Jones said “Canberra will tell you they’re not forgotten, but they’re just words”. \n\n“Mobilise the nation’s resources to address this catastrophe because if our farms go Prime Minister, we are all gone,” he said. \n\n“This is a rural Australia really in a state of play that it’s never been in before.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Maybe a coherent policy on carbon, climate change and pollution? Or is this going to be another reason to ignore the issue in favour of unsupportable subsidies. LOL it seems Alan Jones is confusing ScoMo with God? Not much HE can do about a weakened polar vortex, missing southern ocean winds, high temperatures and low rainfall over the next few months? auspol climatechange Certain farmers need assist Bush fires, back burning and fire breaks need attention, all Australian rivers need attention, but farming in Australia has always been a make it or break it industry, you cannot keep feeding money and resources into farms that aren’t going to produce.

Disgusting.

Ardern ‘deeply concerned’ by Labour sexual assault allegation | Sky News AustraliaNew Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is unwilling to express confidence in Labour President Nigel Haworth — claiming she was misled by her own party about an alleged sexual assault on a volunteer.\n\nMs Ardern said she's 'deeply concerned' and 'incredibly frustrated' by Labour's handling of the issue and had “differing accounts” relayed to her. \n\nA 19-year-old volunteer accused a Labour staffer of sexually assaulting her last year in an attack that lasted more than 10 minutes.\n\nThe teenager said she told Mr Haworth and others about the sexual assault, but an internal investigation into seven complaints about the man led to no disciplinary action. \n\n“I was informed at the very beginning that the allegations made were not sexual in nature; that is obviously directly counter to what is now being reported,” Ms Ardern said. \n\nA review is underway following complaints about the findings of the probe — this time independent of the party.\n\nImage: AP Everyone else In the country knew it was sexual months ago and the alleged offender was in her office Pfft.
