    Exhibit Two.

    PIERS MORGAN INTERVIEW : HE DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR THE FACTS

    Piers Morgan, the pommy bloke famous for boasting he could bat against Brett Lee, only to cowardly retreat to square leg when Lee bowled to him, simply was ignorant of the facts and didn’t want to know about them.

    * He clearly had no idea that Australia is a federation with the States having responsibility for emergency management.

    * He had no idea about Australia’s long history of Bushfires.

    * He had no idea about the debate on hazard reduction burns, or the issue of fuel build up in our forests.

    * He had no idea of Australia’s heavy expenditure on renewables over recent years (we’ve spent more per capita than anywhere in the world)

    * He had no idea about the peer-reviewed science of Australia’s history rainfall or evaporation

    * He didn’t even know that even the IPCC doesn’t claim that droughts are caused by ‘climate change’.

    * He had no idea that our senior bushfire scientists have said these fires are not caused by climate change.

    So it’s good to see so many viewers in the UK call him out for his unprofessional conduct of consistently cutting me off.

    ITV viewers have called out controversial presenter Piers Morgan and branded his interviewing style a “joke” after a “shambolic” interview on Good Morning Britain.


    But it was Piers’ chat about the bushfires raging Down Under with Australian MP Craig Kelly that got viewers at home riled up.


    Piers said: “Prime Minister Scott Morrison, his response to these fires erupting all over the country was to go on holiday to Hawaii.”


    Craig started to point out that Australia has separate fire-fighting forces in each state, and explain how it is each state’s responsibility to deal with bushfires, but Susanna spoke across him to say it’s surely a national issue.

    “Yeah, but it’s a national emergency, isn’t it, Mr Kelly?” she said. “So you would expect the national leader to take charge.”


    Frustrated viewers thought Kelly was barely given a chance to speak.


    Craig replied: “Well, in fact, the only thing the national leader can do in this is wait until he gets a response from those state premiers asking for more resources… and every time any one of those state premiers has come forward, and said we need something, the prime minister has done that, he’s been out, he’s been giving his support.”


    But Piers interrupted him and said: “The truth is, he was absent when the fires were burning… Scott Morrison thought the right response to these fires erupting in Australia was to lie on a beach in Hawaii!”


    Craig then started to admit that it was a “terrible disaster” when Piers cut him off and informed him they had to end the interview.


    Reacting on Twitter, one viewer demanded: “Why doesn’t #GMB just call it the Piers show? ‘Cause when he does an interview, he basically interviews himself with an answer for the question! The guy is a joke!”


    Another tweeted: “It is a horrendous tragedy, but at least let the Aussie politician answer your questions @piersmorgan @susannareid100.”


    “Pretty shambolic that, Reid, Morgan and that weather woman just shout and talk over the Aus guy. Try listening to what he says,” someone else suggested.


    Another Twitter user replied: “It was dreadful. I flicked back and couldn’t believe the guest wasn’t allowed to put his view point across with constant interruptions from @piersmorgan @susannareid100. They cut him off every time.

    New Year and same old rubbish going on from both of them. #GMB.”
