Scott Ludlam says shutting down climate protests like 'turning off smoke alarm'A former Greens senator who was arrested in Sydney during a climate change protest says shutting down the demonstrations is like turning off the smoke alarm in a burning building. Anyone who believes humans are warming the Earth's climate, please name this man and explain his direct involvement in creating the global warming narrative. If you can't name him, you have no business entering into the climate debate, and should consider yourself ill-informed. Police have enough to do with out dealing with stupid protesters bring the army in give them some practice AdamBandt Hes right.

Transgender activist lashes Scott Morrison over 'gender whisperers' commentTransgender activist Georgie Stone has called on the PM to change his tone on LGBTIQ issues, saying his reference to 'gender whisperers' in schools and dismissal of efforts at trans inclusion are damaging his plan to reduce the nation's suicide rate. Reality - there are two genetic genders defined in chromosomes ( except a genetic flaw of hermaphroditism) - XX and XY!! State of mind for anything else ? Sweetheart, he just doesn't care, he is so busy with his church matters and pretending to be our PM he has no time for gender issues. Remember he slashed the Health Budget down to practically nothing, must get and maintain that surplus. Who she?
