The Liberal National Party president has blasted the Queensland education system for “brainwashing” students about climate change.
Speaking to LNP members at the party’s state conference today, Bruce McIver said he was discouraged about how children were being taught about climate change in schools.
Mr McIver said he was shaken by the way issues were being taught when he and his wife visited their grandson’s school.
“We were shocked at the way the climate change debate on one side is being pushed in the classroom,” he said.
“And not balanced perspectively. Our kids are being brainwashed under this Labor education system.”
Mr McIver’s comments received loud applause from more than 700 delegates from throughout the state.
“Why aren’t they being told that if you go to Quilpie and you drive to Windorah – [Liberal National Party MPs] Vaughan Johnson’s country, Howard Hobbs’ country – you will see these sand hills that have been blown up years ago,” he said.
“When the droughts were much bigger than the ones we have just had.
“And why aren’t we being told that Brisbane has had floods in the 1890s of over eight metres.
“[LNP leader] Campbell [Newman] tells me that back in the 1820s – even before white man even came here – there were floods that could have been over 12 metres at the post office at the bottom of Elizabeth Street.
“So, things change. Climate is constantly changing. Is man having an effect? Well I will leave it for you to judge.”
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

They’re excluding climate from history subjects, and history from climate subjects; it is all part of the brainwashing. Fortunately they’re unable to rewrite history, and it will surely come back to bite them hard, squarely on the posterior.
I’d ban history and climate- a waste of time for young students. Metrolgy (the study of measurement) is fundamental to science. Basic meterology, biology, physics are sciences that they do their own experiments and find for themselves and they can learn to do the scientific method. General analytical thinking is tops for considering media derived science.
