‘What we want is more learning in schools and less activism in schools’, prime minister Scott Morrison yells after being asked a question about school students participating in a climate change strike. Greens MP Adam Bandt asked if the PM would ‘listen to these kids, who are demanding your government to keep coal in the ground?’ Morrison’s response was that they should stay in school and leave politics to those ‘outside of school’

Bruh he's acting like missing out on 1 HOUR OF SCHOOL is like they are missing out on an entire month.
Who let the kids out. greta?😆
Makes are world a cleaner place or get out of are world we stand tall
Well said haha
Sorry, did he just blatantly say under the lines of "no freedom of speech in schools"
The carbon zero script is an excuse to shut down power stations, infrastructure etc in preparation for there being no one around in the wake of the great cull.
Heads up; we win
Australian Mr Garrison
Not going to school thats a joke for Scomo who doesn't have an education
Go to school for what Scott? Those kids will be dead in 10 years…there’s no point in school…humanities extinction is locked in
About time that useless dishrag told the Victorian stormtroopers to quit stormtrooping.
Climate Change isn't really something that can only be solved outside of school… Has he been to any Geography or whatever other people call it lesson ever?
Not only is this coming from someone who was in hawaii last year during the fires, but it's obvious that he thinks it's too late to solve the climate, so he'll live in a polluted world for the rest of his days…
Says the guy who doesn't care about the environment.
I'm a student and I agree
Spot on, young fools, know nothing.
In 1990 climate scientists were saying if we dont reduce greenhouse gases the world's oceans will rise 1 meter by 2020, well its 2020, beaches are the same
Ah yes, Because school is more important than Planet Earth and every single living soul on it. Totally support it dude🤗
What we want is more learning in the government! And more activism too!
I swear there is more disorder in parliament than in the school classroom. These are not sensible people.
Can’t wait to continue at school and be comforted in knowing that the parliament has a plan for climate change. You’re one of the best pm’s we have had in Australia Scomo!
MY MAN
ScoMo: "Climate Change is a Big Issue"
Also ScoMo: "ThIS IS CoAL!"
WELL MAYBE IF YOU DID YOUR JOBS WE WOULDN’T HAVE TOO!!
Greta Thunbetg : hold my no friday school strike.
Scott Morrison is a joke
"More learning". Nice education ranking huh?
Just start a war in Australia and bring in the people of America to bring their own guns to help get rid of this problem because there is no other way to solve this problem besides going to war.
IN SCHOOL THEY TEACH US ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING. ARE WE JUST SUPPOSED TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT?
ay whats the point of learning if we have no future to do something with it
“We are the dead. Our only true life is in the future. We shall take part in it as handfuls of dust and splinters of bone. But how far away that future may be, there is no knowing.”
George Orwell.
with corona virus around he will still not do anything, like wowwwwwwwwwww
And what we want Scott Morrison, is more action on climate change and protecting our Great Barrier Reef!
– Every kid in Australia who hates your guts (AKA every kid in Australia)
shut tf up scott were using our freedom of speech so dont tell us what we shouldnt do when its a global emergency
Seriously though …Can anyone tell me what Showmo has actually achieved for Australia since paying (sports clubs) to be elected,other than slam the Labor Party ? No REALLY?
You silly people,
you realise we aren't going to stop protesting, right?
60% of our energy from coal and these fools suggest too leave it in the ground, like some weird pathetic call to arms for the sake of the environment. How about some alternate suggestions because with 80% of our energy coming from coal and gas, these guys are living in coo coo land. Our coal useage ius actually down 21% from a decade ago. Thats not bad considering our DEPENDENCY…… Yeah blame the government, thats really helpful. How about blame the government in 1920 for not being able to see the future?? Thats about as useful as blaming Morrison..
My lord these comments are vapid.
Greta has no grasp of science. Poor girl runs on feeling only as most kids do. Zero facts. It's such a shame many adults have little grasp of science either, which is causing mass hysteria. It's sad and very worrying seeing children freighted by manipulators with political agendas with no checks in place. Teaching children to fear change is a tragic.
