Now is ‘not the time to push the barrow’ on climate change

Sky News host Paul Murray says there is a double standard about which politicians we go after and which politicians we let off the hook in terms of their handling of coronavirus. The Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews was seemingly let off the hook after deciding not to cancel the Grand Prix until literally thousands of people were already at the Grand Prix ready to go in, Mr Murray said. Prime Minister Scott Morrison was heavily criticised for at first deciding to go to the Cronulla Sharks game on Saturday, and then for even considering it. On Friday night Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszcszuk went to the football as part of her opening ceremony for the new stadium in Townsville. She watched the game, yet crickets form the people who said to even think about going to the football was a terrible thing, Mr Murray said. There are also some in the media who are using the coronavirus scare to talk about the climate emergency, like the New Daily who said unlike the climate emergency, coronavirus left us no time for politics. Now is not the time for you to push your barrow, whatever that barrow is, Mr Murray said. Image: News Corp Australia Read More Our Apps
