* WA Police Minister Paul Papalia has taken a swipe at the Prime Minister * Scott Morrison thanked God, as well as police for bringing Cleo Smith home * Minister Papalia said 'thank God for the Western Australian police force' * Cleo was rescued by four officers from a home in Carnarvon early on Wednesday
Scott Morrison has sparked backlash after thanking God for 'answering our prayers' with the miracle rescue of missing youngster Cleo Smith.
The Prime Minister fought back tears after learning the missing four-year-old girl had been found in a locked home in Carnarvon, 900km north of Perth, just before 1am on Wednesday
'This particular case has captured the hearts of Australians and I want to thank all of the police and all of those involved in making sure Cleo is safe,' Mr Morrison said.

'Thanking the WA police and anyone else would be appropriate. Referring to prayers as PM in a country where religion is very separate to state is not,' tweeted student Simon Dwyer.
'Our prayers? Speak for all Australians please,' added another.
'Your prayers did nothing, Morrison. The WA coppers did it without the help of your Sky Fairy,' wrote a passionate atheist.

I spent time worrying about/praying for this poor little kid because that's all I could do! Don't tell me my prayers didn't help.

“’If you feel the need to thank God today, thank God for the Western Australian police force,’ he said in a press conference following Cleo’s return.
‘Cleo’s rescue wasn’t the result of an accidental sighting or a suspicious event, it was the result of hard police grind.”
He thanked the police to you hate filled bigot.
WTF is wrong in Australia?
Perpetual grievance is a joyless life....the PM needs to counter with a message of enlightened western values that allow freedom of religious beliefs....in certain cultures the brave police minister would risk beheading for such a statement....bet he wouldn’t be so brave then...
The problem started when the English exported all their hardened criminals to an island a half world away.
What started as a prison colony became a country.
Everything?
(except hot blonde chicks)
Certainly shows what politics the Leftist Police Minister of Western Australia exhibits.... sort of like the a@@clowns who tackle people in Victoria province and jab them with the vaccine. That kind of arrogance that PROUDLY denounces faith, and... frankly Freedom.
What a jerk. Opinion of Morrison soars as a result of his heartfelt LEADERSHIP expressing THANKS to the Police, and thanking GOD for the Police. Apparently it is not enough for this guy— he’s sooooo smart. God had a hand in it— through his instruments, the Police.
If the heavens, stripped of his noble imprint, could ever cease to attest to his being, if God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
Let the wise man announce him and kings fear him. Kings, if you oppress me, if your eminencies disdain the tears of the innocent that you cause to flow, my avenger is in the heavens: learn to tremble.
Such, at least, is the fruit of a useful creed.
Voltaire
Western Values are Biblical Values. That is the consensus that allows for tolerance of minority views. However, once the Biblical Consensus is lost, what follows will be repression and extermination of Biblical views and the people who hold them.
YES!
Yeah, I know. What a turd!
Great Britain shipped a lot of convicts to the American colonies too.
Hate filled, rotten and ugly people.
I was gonna say.....
If any atheist bothered to check, they would find that cops pray. Sometimes they pray for the wrong things, but everyone does that.
Although he didn't say anything that wasn't obvious. Bit of a shame that I feel a need to complement him for it.
As for the God hating responses - just ignore them.
And thus began the Democrat Party.
So I was just reading that the guy they arrested (he appears to be an aborigine?) has not been charged. (???)
