Sky News host Rowan Dean joins as a guest on his own show while stranded in Bali following volcano eruption
Sky News host Rowan Dean has been left stranded in Bali after a volcano erupted in Indonesia earlier in the week. Dean joined his own program on Friday as a guest from the airport as he was unable to fulfil his regular hosting duties with the volcano keeping him grounded at the popular holiday location. He was set to fly out of Bali on Wednesday after a trip but his flight was cancelled due to the volcanic eruption, leaving himself and many other Australians stranded. Rowan Dean joined fill-in host James Macpherson from Bali for Sky News Australia's program The World According to Rowan Dean. The latest episode is available to watch now, and new episodes are out every Friday, for subscribers. "I'm very, very honoured to be there on my own show with you. So thank you James. I'm in Bali because of another explosion. You've just shown the rocket exploding SpaceX. There may be a big explosion due for Iran any day now. But this particular explosion was a volcano, the Lewotobi Laki-laki volcano I believe it's called," Dean said. "It decided to blow up just as we were about to board the plane a couple of nights ago. And sending all its muck up into the air there. And because of that, all the flights, I think some several thousand, 14,000 people stranded, as it were, in Bali." A volcanic eruption in Indonesia sent ashes spiralling into the sky on Tuesday night, causing mayhem for Aussies looking to head to and from Bali. Several flights to the Indonesian resort island of Bali were cancelled and the airport in Maumere in East Nusa Tenggara province was closed due to the eruption of Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, officials said on Wednesday. Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki, which is in East Nusa Tenggara province, erupted on Tuesday, spewing ash 11 km high, forcing the country's volcanology agency to raise the alert level to the highest. It erupted again on Wednesday morning, belching a 1 km high ash cloud, the agency said in a statement. Dean used the volcanic eruption as an opportunity to launch an attack on the Labor government's push for net zero. "There's plenty of volcanoes here in Indonesia, and they don't just sit around and wait for mankind to decide, as I've learned myself, there's no such thing as a schedule where the gods are concerned," he said. "The gods work to their own agenda, James, And I think we're going to see that, you know, there was one in Sicily only last week and the planet operates on its own rules, James. "The planet doesn't listen to the mere mortals, the Chris Bowens of this world, who think they can control the environment," he added in a dig towards the energy minister.
