This disgraceful story of the sick Greenies continues...The Greens have consistently argued against mandatory hazard-reduction burns, calling for authorities to take into account “the environmental constraints and needs of our native forests”.Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg yesterday warned that Senator Di Natale’s speech was “the latest example of the Greens engaging in an insensitive, ideological rant designed to detract from their own internal problems”.
“No wonder the majority of Australians are turned off by the Greens and their tactics,” Mr Frydenberg said.
Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said Senator Di Natale’s comments exposed “his complete lack of empathy and common sense, let alone his understanding of regional Australia or the environment”.
Mr McCormack, who holds the NSW seat of Riverina, said the focus should be on the men and women who were fighting “ferocious” fires around the country as well as those helping with floods and the cyclone in the north.
“Shame on the Greens for using tragedy and disaster to push their agenda — how typical and bloody minded,” Mr McCormack said.
NSW Nationals senator John Williams accused conservationists of amplifying the risk of major fires by locking up more bushland.
South Australian Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young said bushfires were becoming more severe and frequent “as a result of climate change” and backed in Senator Di Natale’s leadership.
“Richard Di Natale’s leadership is safe and we need him now — we need him to step up and make sure the party is pulled together tightly,” Senator Hanson-Young said.
Cyclone Marcus swept across the Northern Territory on Saturday, bringing down power lines and hundreds of trees in what Chief Minister Michael Gunner described as the biggest storm to hit the Top End in 30 years.

I would like to see a class action launched by the bushfire victims, against the Greens for negligent actions leading to loss of life and property. A figure in the billions of dollars being claimed should get the ball rolling.

There must be a lot of villages who have lost their idiots.
There are reports that several have been found posing as Greenies wandering aimlessly around the hall of Parliament House in Canberra.

Dirty Dick thrashing around like a headless chook blaming everything on climate change, and being ably supported by that troll SHY…hopefully their voter support will continue to erode. Pathetic losers.

Di Natale is not just a village idiot posing as a politician, he is a dangerous village idiot. There is something terribly mentally wrong with a person who defends policies that say don’t undertake hazard reduction and then blames catastrophic fire storms on climate change.
The comments of Di Natale and that useless piece of work, Hanson-Young, are offensive in the extreme and the sooner they get out of the public’s face the better off this country will be.

The truth is “the Greens are pure bastards and total Frauds” no sentence says it better.
The most annoying and useless mouthing is when a Green is invited on Fox and asked their opinion on issues of the day, they bring in climate change , coal and refugees, no matter the subject………Managers of TV stations leave the Greens out, we know their ugliness , who needs to see it on show. The making of a sows ear into a silk purse will never happen, especially when it is pure green slime one is dealing with

Once again, the odious Di Natale and the vile blancmange SHY have shamelessly and dishonestly blamed so-called “climate change” for the fires in NSW and Vic and the current active monsoon generating what it normally does – cyclones in cyclone season – in the north of the country. Arcing power lines and un-managed bush are not the work of “climate change”, you lying cretins.
Their rush to spruik the CAGW bullsh1t at every disaster is disgusting and almost seems psychopathic in nature. How much more pain and hurt do they really want to heap on those who’ve lost homes and livelihoods and livestock? I don’t make a practice of wishing others harm, but I’m prepared to make an exception for these revolting bastards.
There is only one word to adequately describe these non-people, but I won’t debase this page by printing it.

Green thinking – no burn offs, leave nature to be natural – has contributed to fires that have killed people and destroyed property. Ash Wedenesday 1983; Black Saturday 2009.
Would a bushfire change their minds? Probably not.

I don’t understand how the Greens are able to force their policy of no burning off through either Councils or Parliament. It is time that Labor turned away from them and started to work with the Government on sensible policies to help Australians pursue a better way of life. In fact the sooner the Greens Party becomes extinct the better off the country will be. It really irks me that those who retire will be living off the Australian taxpayer for the rest of their lives.

RR, the only reason for their getting away with their nonsense is that every second Australian is an apathetic fool.
