‘Wacky, right-wing think tanks’ are inhibiting climate policy: Labor | Sky News Australia

Australia cannot engage in a “sensible” debate on climate change because its federal parliament is being influenced by “wacky, right wing think tanks,” according to Labor senator Murray Watt.

Mr Watt was criticising his senate colleague Gerard Rennick who earlier this year accused the Bureau of Meteorology of tampering with its data to boost “global warming hysteria,” a claim the organisation denies. Senator Watt told Sky News Australia will not be able to craft a coherent climate policy when “elected senators are sprouting these weird ideas from right wing think tanks” that don’t have any basis in evidence.

MurrayWatt There is not RW think tank dedicated to making Australia a better place. They are all dedicated to shifting the wealth of the nation to the few. How they've brainwashed the masses is truly brilliant marketing.

MurrayWatt The greenie definition of a sensible debate is ..... “when people agree with our views”. Any other outcome is met with hatred, protests and name calling

troutish MurrayWatt Very true. Surprising to see Skynews talking about this. Wacky right wing think tanks are a real problem at the moment. Australia needs a bi-partsan plan to reduce our emissions and take action on climate change. I am not hopeful this will happen. auspol

MurrayWatt NewsCorpse.

MurrayWatt What rubbish

MurrayWatt Less wacky more fashy imo

MurrayWatt and he’d be right

MurrayWatt We've had 4 climate elections goose

MurrayWatt The federal parliament prefers the wacky to the real because the wacky support their agenda which is to feed the rich at any cost. Why, when the USA got Trump did we have to follow suit? Why has AustralianLabor chained itself just two metres away from the LNP? We're screwed.

7_jenkinson MurrayWatt The climate alway changes. Do you want to pay more tax? Er, why does the government need tax, if it prints & controls the money supply? The

MurrayWatt Obviously not right enough as we still have not pulled out of Paris agreement bullshit

MurrayWatt ...and this:

MurrayWatt He nailed it 👍

MurrayWatt Agreed. If Thatcher and Netanyhu got it why should the country be held to ransom by the IPA climate

MurrayWatt I sure do hope Sky is included in 'Wacky Right Wing Think Tanks' ? Cause you lot certainly give RWFW's a lot of air time ! IMHO

MurrayWatt Stealing farm animal's, gluing yourself to a road, running naked through the city, I don't think these are right of centre behaviours.

MurrayWatt Especially the goon squad of the IPA.

MurrayWatt reported on the biggest right wing manipulated mob ? REALLY !! nothing on sky news can be believed its all murdoch spin

MurrayWatt Sensible debate according to the LNP is coal hugging business as usual. The tube for 'Debate'has LONG since passed. Time to actually fucking do something.

MurrayWatt Unlike Murray?

MurrayWatt

MurrayWatt And May 18 2019 was that sensible debate...The un are licking their lips at all the useful socialist idiots pushing the climatehoax auspol

MurrayWatt Wacky? Try corrupt, delusional and outright insane.

MurrayWatt Irrationality of skynewsAust knows no bounds when the ’wacky leftie’ organisation like RBA , Berkshire Global, BHP, APRA, ADF, Westpac are just a few that have made concerned comments on the ClimateCrisis climatechange even well know ‘leftie’ Maggie Thatcher had a lash.

MurrayWatt How about just plain wrong. RBA, Australian energy council, insurance companies also name any large corporation worth its salt are all factoring climate change. They are reducing their carbon footprint investing in renewables. But we got a PM that brings coal to parliament.

MurrayWatt Fabricators of propaganda…

MurrayWatt I think the whackos are on the Left.😂😂😂

MurrayWatt And backed by RWNJs in certain media. murdochracy

MurrayWatt

MurrayWatt All these crackheads want to do is debate. When will one of them come up with fully costed & practical solutions backed up by irrefutable data that explicitly proves the long term effectiveness of their solutions ?

MurrayWatt And MurrayWatt is nearly 100% correct, he just forgot the LNP donors from the mining industry.

MurrayWatt Arnold Schwarzenegger on climate change says it all really.

MurrayWatt NZ had bipartisan support on climate policy. Here we have have a brain-dead govt who bags RE yet funds towns in their own electorates to become 100% RE .. and at a cheaper rate too.

MurrayWatt Murray Watt......oh fair go......this bloke is a member of the Labor party....he has no credibility....

MurrayWatt Not a controversial opinion

MurrayWatt Wacky or greedy? Both!

HollinsMrhump MurrayWatt And he is completely right! IPA is a prime example.

MurrayWatt Correct again. And a lot of them are on your network.

Honeputu MurrayWatt Accurate statement by Murray Watt. He forgot to mention that the wacky right wing think tanks then feed their misinformation to the nutjobs on Murdoch's Sky News, who disseminate it to their gullible audience.

MurrayWatt So he thinks cutting Emmissions by 50% will save the planet and STOP Climate Change. Only Labor can Save the Planet ? BUT HES WRONG ANYONE PROVE HE'S RIGHT ? BUT HES SNEERING AT OTHERS ? HYPOCRITE

MurrayWatt True! We need to put it in the hands of a non politicised group like they did in the UK. Politicians only care about reelection..

MurrayWatt Oh the irony...

MurrayWatt And this is what you call a sensible conversation. Think you got it backwards there.

MurrayWatt Remove the word “whacky” and you’ve got an accurate headline there.

MurrayWatt The vocal losers just won't give up

MurrayWatt Well, he’s not wrong

MurrayWatt Wacky, right wing think tanks owned by Gina and co. elliemail BelindaJones68 simonahac

MurrayWatt I would go to a Dr if I was sick, and I would consult a climate scientist and not a politician about climate change.

MurrayWatt And what was Labor's climate change policy at the recent election? That's right, Shorten didn't want to discuss it. And what's Labor's current climate change policy? 'We'll let you know.'

MurrayWatt Fukkin' A.

MurrayWatt Climate change is an oxymoron and a scam

MurrayWatt Well duh.

MurrayWatt And your point, ? Oh that's right...you have the MurdochHack thing happening. 🤦‍♀️

MurrayWatt Yep

MurrayWatt Watt an accurate statement

MurrayWatt Wattt? The debate was had and the people spoke.

MurrayWatt Whack jobs are the fools who bought into the biggest fraud ever. Name one doomsday prediction that has eventuated. Explain the snow and bitterly cold we have at the moment. Climate crisis pigsarse

GrogsGamut MurrayWatt Not sure it's technically correct to describe 'The Liberal and National Parties' and 'News Limited' as right wing think tanks, Murray

GrogsGamut MurrayWatt My concerns are what their spraying in the skies, and more. Start there!

MurrayWatt Well said Murray.

MurrayWatt Sounds right

MurrayWatt And let's not forget they are also being influenced by whacky right wing loons who are part of the 'journalistic' staff of Higest rate of climate change denial of any institution known to man. Hypocrites!!!

MurrayWatt Lol. Let the man go about his business. No one's buying what he's selling.

MurrayWatt I.P.A. and I'm not talking about a delicious India Pale Ale

MurrayWatt ScottMorrisonMP will let us all burn and die to help his mineralscouncil mates. auspol

MurrayWatt Murray Watt would be pretty bloody right

MurrayWatt THERE IS NO DEBATE! The idea there is a debate was started by Exxon in the 1980's to ensure we did nothing. The debate was over 40 years ago. We need ACTION now and LEADERSHIP and a PLAN

MurrayWatt murray who?

MurrayWatt The same people who attack antivaxers for ignoring the science, attack the science of climate change. The greatest collection of wacky right wing nut jobs is an Sky News every night

MurrayWatt We just had a sensible debate on it. It was called the 2019 federal election.

MurrayWatt It's not like the world doesn't know this already. auspol

MurrayWatt Yep - Literally running this Government… finn_phineas

MurrayWatt You mean 'people who don't buy into the bullshit'

MurrayWatt No! Just not listening to fake news and con artists. Wake up ! This moron and his mates have been watching too many ‘ end of the world ‘ Hollywood movies. 😂😂

MurrayWatt Murray the Left Wing Nutjob

MurrayWatt LNP debate? No need to debate when they are always right Thoughts and prayers

MurrayWatt Whack jobs everywhere. Mostly on twitter

MurrayWatt That troublesome counter argument

Qldaah MurrayWatt Jesus H Christ. You just broadbast some nobody LNP senator proudly proclaiming how he posted an IPA conspiracy theory about the BOM. I think Watt's claim is pretty close to the mark.

Qldaah MurrayWatt and wacky right-wing media outlets like, err, Sky News Australia. auspol climate

Igh0108 MurrayWatt Yes and you promote and give them platforms to spread their lies.

MurrayWatt

MurrayWatt Murray who? You want to debate while people are fighting for their lives and homes. Drop off. auspol

MurrayWatt There is no climate change you dunderheads. It's a big scam and everyone knows it.

Narjen53 MurrayWatt Sky news Australia is incapable of sensible debate. shitmedia

MurrayWatt Utter bull dust

MurrayWatt Murray whatttt?

MurrayWatt Can someone tell MurrayWatt that Australia just had a sensible debate on climate change. It’s called a federal election.

MurrayWatt What a goose.

MurrayWatt lol 'scare quotes'

MurrayWatt Only a fool who thinks hes God believes he can control the weather

MurrayWatt If only the “right wing” had a 16 year old truant scolding us, they would be taken seriously.

MurrayWatt Let's be very very clear. If the Liberals don't immediately implement a climate change policy and reduce emissions significantly they are finished. It's as plain as the eye can see. Time to stop protecting their coal mining mates NOW.

MurrayWatt Someone with a degree plus in BIOLOGY understands weather and can explain it so that a Lib Senator can understand it, is the rod he shoves his ass upon? Speaking to BoM about their reasoning and what they did is for later? and this person says he's specialised in Statistics?

MurrayWatt What's wacky is disrupting people's lives and the national economy pushing climate change policies that would have zero impact on climate.

MurrayWatt Same with whacky left wing think tanks

MurrayWatt Wonder were we would be if we still did Bush clearing.

MurrayWatt Not LeftWingLoons like AdamBandt and his cabal of whack jobs?

MurrayWatt The global warming, climate change, climate emergency election on May 18 showed how out of touch the scaremongering lefty socialists are and how just enough commonsense prevailed.

MurrayWatt Labor ran on climate change hoax and lost

MurrayWatt As long as there is childish name calling, there can't be any conversations. There is no debate, and this person only wants to lecture. He'll have to look somewhere else, I'm not his spouse or child. Come back when he does some maturing.

MurrayWatt He would be incorrect. The fact that Murray thinks we can somehow control the climate should speak volumes about his knowledge on the matter.

MurrayWatt No we are standing up to the looney left that think taxing people to an oblivion will change climate somehow .murrywatt is a dickhead

MurrayWatt Our bush has been influence by hysterical green climate scientists not allowing back burning. Just Google black Thusday if want to know unprecedented.

MurrayWatt And today we have McCormack proving you totally correct! (And IPA is a cancer in our society).

MurrayWatt kelliekelly23 labor fake news abc abc rant 'climate change crisis has arrived' & “chilling bushfire warning to government” abc “source” is a member of the Climate Council ABC completely untrue Forests are making a comeback!

MurrayWatt This entire country can down tools and move into caves and it wouldn't make a bit of difference. Those talking about it ain't prepared to do it but expect everyone else to take the lead.

MurrayWatt Millions of quiet Australians would beg to disagree with 'wacky, left wing dingbat,' in this case it's MurrayWatt

MurrayWatt Here’s what happens when you attempt to have a “sensible debate” on

MurrayWatt When clowns like Sky's Chris Kenny cite a hot day in Adelaide 100yrs ago as proof climate change is not real he's right. Clowns at right wing sky with no sense of science are pushing right wing agendas on climate he is correct. Right wing nutters are running the climate debate.

MurrayWatt That’s election loser talk

MurrayWatt Wot?

MurrayWatt

MurrayWatt Truth from Murdoch 😱😱? How many think tanks would you like listed? IPA Heartland Cato FoS GWPF... Lies reported as truth under the guise of free speech is fraud. FF magnates control the agenda. The biosphere is the price we pay for their greed elliemail

MurrayWatt What if they advocate using some of our vast Uranium resources to solve our emissions problems & our energy supply problems for good?

MurrayWatt No, it’s usually the wacky greens that refuse to discuss anything and then go and glue themselves to the road. Hardly professional

MurrayWatt Has Mr. Watt seen the argument in support of the 'climate emergency' recently? I'd suggest the word 'wacky' might be better applied closer to home.

MurrayWatt Yes we can, we also just had the climate change election. The people have a say and have spoken through the ballot box 🗳

DanJCass MurrayWatt And it's not just Australia.

MurrayWatt Murray Watt what Australia is going through is not climate change it’s Drought,,,

MurrayWatt Wacky right wings butt scratching!

MurrayWatt Not to mention wacky right-wing numbnut wannabe commentators on Sky.
