Sky News host Chris Kenny says former prime ministers such as Malcolm Turnbull are now the so-called “loud Australians” who have joined “the twitter ferals, the green left protesters and shouty lefties at the ABC”.
Mr Turnbull reportedly urged moderate Liberals to be "loud Australians" who stand up for action on climate change at a private function at the weekend.
Mr Kenny said on Monday climate policy has helped “end Rudd’s leadership, Gillard's and Turnbull's for a second time” yet Mr Turnbull still “talks about as it as the holy grail for future policy, as do those other leaders who also stuffed it up”. “They refuse to listen to the good sense of the quiet Australians … The loud Australians think they know better than mainstream Australians.

'Climate terrorists' are acting as if the 'end is nigh' | Sky News AustraliaJournalist Conrad Black says “climate terrorists” are getting “more desperate” to the point where they send a “15-year-old Swedish girl around like some sort of non-violent, atheistic, Saint Joan of Arc to terrorise the world that the end is nigh”.\n\nLord Black told Sky News Australia’s 2019 election was an “inspiring illustration” that climate issues can be rejected “as a false attempt to frighten the people and take self-punitive economically unjustified decisions to placate a phantom danger”. \n\nThe journalist said “the idea that the climate is about to put Venice 50-feet underwater and turn us all into snowmen is not happening”.\n\n“The scientific solidarity is fragmenting and the sure sign of that is the international panel on climate change is now on the heels of its terrible setbacks”, he said. \n\nImage: AP

Consumers warned of online shopping scams ahead of Christmas | Sky News AustraliaAustralian Competition and Consumer Commission Deputy Chair Delia Rickard says there has been “an explosion in online scams”, with about “8,000 complaints” and “over 4 million reported cases of loss” this year alone. \n\nWhile the rise of black Friday and cyber Monday sales in Australia are great news for struggling retailers, consumers are being warned to look out for deals online that are too good to be true, to avoid falling victim to online scams. \n\nMs Richard told Sky News “the most important thing to do” when shopping online is to pay for purchases using “credit card or paypal”.\n\n“If they are asking you to pay via a bank transfer, or cyber currency and gift cards, it is a tipoff that it is likely to be a scam”, she said. \n\nMs Rickard said the good news is “if somebody is selling goods into Australia, you have all your rights under the consumer law, but it is much easier to enforce those rights with Australian retailers and online stores”.\n\nImage: Getty
