Shove a sock where?! Alan Jones’ extraordinary attack on Jacinda Ardern
Radio personality Alan Jones has delivered a scathing response to Jacinda Arden after she lectured the leaders of Australia about climate change.
Speaking at the Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu on Wednesday, the Prime Minister of New Zealand said that Australia had to “answer to the Pacific on climate” as she stood behind smaller island nations who are demanding for immediate global bans on the construction of new coal-fired power plants and coal mines.
The 39-year-old insisted for action to be taken on climate change, as she criticised Australia’s defence of its rising greenhouse gas emissions.
“We will continue to say that New Zealand will do its bit and we have an expectation that everyone else will as well,” she said.
“Australia has to answer to the Pacific, that is a matter for them.”
2GB radio host Alan Jones hit back and said Arden was a “complete clown” and that Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison should “shove a sock down her throat”.
“Here she is preaching on global warming and saying that we’ve got to do something about climate change,” he said on the Alan Jones Breakfast Show.
He also said Morrison needed to present hard facts to the politician.
“I just wonder whether Scott Morrison is going to be fully briefed to shove a sock down her throat,” he said.
“She is a joke this woman, an absolute and utter lightweight.
“These people are an absolute joke and Jacinda Ardern is the biggest joke.”
