Australia was right to 'go hard and go early' on COVID response | Sky News AustraliaChair in Epidemiology at Deakin University Professor Catherine Bennett says epidemiologists still believe Australia's tactic to 'go hard and go early' in response to the coronavirus was a good idea. \n\n'I think it's a different story in different settings,' Professor Bennett told Sky News host Chris Kenny, \n\n'Here we did go hard and go early and I think in retrospect, we still think that's a good idea'. \n\n'Epidemiologists certainly did at the time because we didn't know enough about the virus'. \n\n But not twice with no way out.

No wonder Australia is in strife when politicians listen to ‘alarmist clowns’: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says rampant incompetence along with “ridiculous fearmongering” about the virus has led to the overreaction by the states which has done extraordinary damage to society. \n\nMr Kenny said the fearmongering rife throughout the whole pandemic has not been limited to politicians and bureaucrats. \n\n“Once a fear merchant, always a fear merchant, Tim Flannery, has popped out to re-run his climate alarmism complete with a new virus angle,” he said. \n\nMr Flannery – who previously claimed dams in NSW would never see rain again – has recently spoken about “unprecedented, climate-fuelled megafires that were extinguished in February by damaging, climate-influenced floods”. \n\nHowever, Mr Flannery has now taken his “fearmongering” to include the virus where he links it to the aforementioned crises through the “great aerial ocean,” according to Mr Kenny. \n\n“The coronavirus also travels unseen through the great aerial ocean, insinuating itself in lung after lung, killing person after person, until it threatens our health system, economy and society,” he said.\n\n“There you go climate alarmist, and virus alarmism, all of a muchness to Tim. \n\n“It is a scary world out there, if global warming doesn’t get you, the virus will. \n\n“Some politicians listen to these clowns, no wonder the country is in strife.” \n\nImage: Getty Says an alarmist clown on sky Extra damage by saving lives?

Australia must ‘build first’ before opening the doors to more migration | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says before Australia throws open the doors to migrants after the pandemic, there should be strong consideration on the “right values that we should all share” and the right facilities we all need.\n\n“With so much of normal life restricted, supposedly for our own good during the pandemic, thank God at least one part of government is still focussed on our freedoms,” Ms Credlin said.\n\nActing Immigration Minister Alan Tudge has just released a new version of the citizenship test designed to ensure new Australians understand and appreciate modern Australian values.\n\n“We can't be a cohesive community without adherence to the law, respect for our institutions, pride in our past, hope for our future, and affection and esteem for our fellow Australians,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“The Australian experience is about people coming to a new land, wanting more freedom to live their lives, and being prepared to work hard to get ahead.\n\n“Especially now, with Melbourne surrounded by a 'ring of steel', in case someone tries to escape, it's timely we should remember that, and celebrate it”.\n\nHowever, Ms Credlin said the right economic considerations should be made, not just the “lazy economics” of higher immigration equals higher GDP growth.\n\n“Integrating migrants doesn't just mean inculcating the right values that we all should share; it also means building the right facilities that we all will need,” she said.\n\n“Before our population grows by another 15 per cent in a decade, we really should insist on building the water, power and transport infrastructure needed for everyone who's already here to keep their quality of life.\n\n“Build it first, then open the doors.”\n Oh fark off. In other words, let’s bring them in as long as they’re white anglos. Like drunk driving followed by rampant string pulling? Is that the sort of values we should all share? Ahh WhiteAustralia is that what you want DogBotherer

Australia's investment in low emissions technology 'would help to meet Paris target' | Sky News AustraliaAPPEA CEO Andrew McConville says the government’s investment in low emissions technology would go a long way to helping Australia move more rapidly to meeting its Paris climate change emissions reductions target.\n\nHis comments come regarding the federal government’s intention to broaden the remit of key energy investment agencies by focusing on low emissions technology and shifting from funding solely wind and solar projects.\n\n“For our industry, the oil and gas industry, we see we have a really important role to play, adopting technology to help reduce emissions and coming in alongside and complimenting renewables,' Mr McConville said. \n \n'So it’s good news.'\n Global lockdown has reduced man-made CO2 emissions, but had no effect on CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Fuck the Paris agreement and the UN We need to get our country back !!
