firstdogonmoon GuardianAus What a joke. Is this man worthy to represent us?

firstdogonmoon GuardianAus These are the people who represent us to the rest of the world. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.

firstdogonmoon GuardianAus So much of our delicious 😋 coal fruit needs to be picked

GuardianAus Australia’s policy is not to welcome migrants but to intern them on offshore islands for years while their requests are processed. The islands will flood due to rising sea levels before Australia lets them in!

firstdogonmoon GuardianAus Blackbirding 2.0

GuardianAus Someone needed to shove a sock down the throat of MMcC to stop his blatantly racist vomit on our Pacific neighbours. If SloMo's poor treatment wasn't enough to push them into China's arms, MMcC's spew surely is. How terminally dumb can the PM & DPM be? auspol LNPFail halfwits

GuardianAus The sea level rises haven't happened. We were told by Communist scum that the islands would be under water by 2007.

GuardianAus WTF2!

GuardianAus Trying to figure out who has as many batshit crazy politicians...Australia or the USA?

The world needs to come together to try and stop this racist epidemic which is emerging from leaders around the globe

GuardianAus Damn... this guy clearly has not learned anything.

GuardianAus the TRUMP virus is spreading😱climatecrisis ignorance

GuardianAus “Those sorts of countries”

GuardianAus If it grows as Australia is already half desert.

GuardianAus Oh look, another of realDonaldTrump's brothers from another mother 😐

firstdogonmoon GuardianAus I definitely hear a faint kiwi twang in that drawl of his... S44

GuardianAus Agar Gvxres

firstdogonmoon GuardianAus WHAT FRUIT WILL THAT BE IF THERE'S NO MURRAY-DARLING WATER FOR FARMS M_McCormackMP ?

GuardianAus This is one Ben Shapiro of a reply. Someone please chain him to an undisclosed part of these sinking islands and just leave him there.

GuardianAus I’m on my third attempt trying to write about the evil and arrogant mindset that would spout this bile, but without swearing. Wasn’t easy. Shithead

GuardianAus Climate is not in human control. Leave it to the One who truly controls it.

GuardianAus

GuardianAus It would be far better if they took control & instituted a public policy to reduce fertility rates from +3 to 2 so as to boost domestic resilience against exogenous events & reduce their export of people, which seems to be the main export commodity now. 😒

GuardianAus Wow.

GuardianAus I’ve a feeling he’d get along with Trump very well. 🙄

GuardianAus Holy fuck.

GuardianAus What an absolute Jizzbag

GuardianAus Trump like post truth politics is spreading across the planet like a cancer.

GuardianAus First world white privilege

GuardianAus Conservatives are bad people. Simple.

GuardianAus .guaridan Australia's coal exp+coal mining make Australia one of world's big contributors to GlobalWarming. The negative international external effects of Australia's coal is high and ClimatePolicy of Australia is irresponsible. By 2030 Australia=effectively 8% of global CO2

GuardianAus the world has been taken over by aholes hasn't it?

I'm still speechless after reading this article. Thankfully I haven't become completely numb to leaders being ignorant

GuardianAus I am a little bit annoyed by this man continuing to survive.

GuardianAus Somebody needs to tell this clown that all of Australia's urban areas are on the coast and will be directly affected by rising sea levels! Crude Oil makes you sick! Midnight Oil makes you dance and protest!

You are the owner of your future.

Slavery and colonialism by fossil fuel proxy.

LOL. You gronks are amazing.

I suppose the grateful Pacific Island fruit pickers should spend all their spare money on buying & shipping bags of cement home to build walls around their Nations beaches just in case most scientists are correct about the affects of Global Warming? ✅ Cheers Deputy PM 4 helping!

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but for all of his flaws, Barnaby Joyce wasn’t as idiotic as this man every time he speaks.

Gosh M_McCormackMP ought to apologize for such an offensive comment. There'd need to be Plan B & Plan C put in place for nations of the Pacific. Some higher ground negotiated & carved out of parts of other countries &/or collective fund to assist a build-up of existing Islands.

Also because there is no climate crisis.

He licks boots so well I'm sure he could survive being sacrificially thrown into a volcano!

As John Oliver famously noted, “the most casually racist country in the world”.

'...because they can pick our fruit' Geez, was Trump a Pandoras box opened and set loose on the world?

A billionaire, a worker and an immigrant are sitting at a table with 1000 cookies. The billionare takes 999 cookies and says to the worker, 'watch out, that immigrant is going to take your cookie' - unknown quote

WTF?...surely he’s not serious

Wasn't there anybody smarter to act as deputy PM?

Brilliant. I bet that triggers all the right people 😁

We could make a show sort of like Eurovision. The premise would be which white person in power can say the most racist 💩

The Aussie political brand adds a certain dogged piss in the corner atavism to the usual corruption we all suffer from. Love the bulldog disturbed while licking its ass look McCormack adopts for his pronouncements.

Love how old, white men are experts on climate change... idiots.

Is Johnson putting him top of the list in his WTO transfer window?

Somebody needs to tell this clown that all of Australia's urban areas are on the coast and will be directly affected by rising sea levels! Crude Oil makes you sick! Midnight Oil makes you dance and protest!

They should welcome that statement!? What a demeaning approach to good relations with ' family '. Another idiot politician putting Australia in the mould of a ' deep south ' slave owner. Pathetic.

climatechange

Australia incapable of picking it's own fruit!

You don't have to scratch an Australian hard to reveal the racist.
