Senator Jordon Steele-John calls political opponents a 'bunch of arsonists'

Despite objections from Labor frontbencher Murray Watt, Senator Steele-John refused to withdraw his comments, insisting they were true.

"For Senator Steele-John to refer to members of this chamber as arsonists on the very day that we are told by fire chiefs that we are seeing conditions that this country has never seen before is beyond offensive," Senator Watt said. He called for the Greens to reflect on"political point-scoring" they were engaging in as fires raged across Australia.Senator Steele-John argues the so-called"big stick" laws will help keep outdated coal-fired power stations open and contribute to climate change.

He said the fires were not a natural disaster because humans were contributing to climate change by burning coal."There will come a time when the Australian community shall look back on this moment and ask what we were doing to help as they were fighting fires on the front," the Greens senator said. His furious spray is the latest escalation in an increasingly fierce climate change debate which has been inflamed by bushfires.

Incendiary I thought he made some good points, albeit forcefully.

Literally?

He’s a freak

Brilliant speech.

deniseshrivell A fair call.

Defamation

deniseshrivell Look at this double talk “incendiary spray” = truth

Not only Nuts but a liar. 'Not one qualified person who would deny the link between CC and the fires?' Talk about listening to your own propaganda. Seriously, who votes for these idiots

Let me talk to this wayward senator and set him on a pathway to intelligence and revelation that seems impossible to acquire by self. Stupid, ignorant, self centred person wasting taxpayer money for his own moment in the spotlight. Greens need to be dissolved !!

And he’s absolutely spot on.

not just politicians, the media that prop up our compromised politicians and shout down those that call for action are also arsonists

Of course... Had to be a gutless Greens in a chamber designed to allow him the privilege of saying whatever he wants.
