1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings. There were some comments

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,319
Speaker 1: made yesterday by our Deputy Prime Minister. Do you even

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 1: know his name, Michael McCormack. Would you have known it

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: without reading that piece of paper in front of you? Yes,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: I did. I He obviously is the leader of the

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: NATS and he made some comments yesterday when he was

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: asked about the link between bushfires and climate change, or

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: even just whether we should be looking at some policies

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: for climate change. He has said that this is he

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: found at galling when people raise climate change in relation

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: to bushfires. They don't people are trying to save their houses.

12
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: They don't need the ravings of some pure, enlightened and

13
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: woke Capital City greenies at the time they tried to

14
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: save their homes. He called it disgraceful and disgusting. This

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: just outrages me. I mean, when we see the protests

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: of climate change activists and we say that's disgusting, see

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: people who try and talk about this in the heart

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,320
Speaker 1: of the bush fire season, which now pretty much goes

19
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,839
Speaker 1: all year, and we're told that's disgusting. What I think

20
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: is disgusting is that we have a parliament half of

21
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: whom deny the science. How's that for a sentence, denying

22
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: the science of it? And these things are linked, whether

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: we like it or not. Our country is heating up,

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: the world is heating up, our bush is drier. We

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: are fighting fires all year round and in places we've

26
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: never had to fight fires before. Why keep your head

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: in the ground. And when is the right time to

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 1: discuss it? We're not allowed to discuss it when there's

29
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: no fires, not allowed to discuss it when there are

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: fires back America's gun control. Well, maybe this is it.

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: So mass shooting now is not the right time to

32
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: talk about It's probably now it's probably the right time

33
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: to talk about it. And also, I think we can

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: do both things. We can be respectful and for the

35
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: people who are fighting their fires, we can focus our

36
00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: energies on fighting the fires at hand and providing shelter help,

37
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: and at the same time have a bigger discussion about

38
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: let's put in some policies so that maybe year after

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: year after year this isn't going to get worse and worse.

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: We can multitask and do both those things at once.

41
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: It's not one or the others. True, I've had my rand,

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: You've done well with thank you. I do find extraordinary.

43
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: When's the time, as you say, this is what America

44
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: does after a foot a shooting. Yep, now the time.

45
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: We'll send thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers, joins the

46
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: and Amanda in the morning,
