'The Prime Minister should be leading, not following' when it comes to climate change
Sky News host Nicholas Reece says it is a pretty embarrassing state of affairs when Prime Minister Scott Morrison has to be shamed into attending the COP26 in Glasgow. It comes as Prince Charles warned world leaders, including Prime Minister Scott Morrison, the Glasgow COP26 summit is a "last chance saloon" for climate change action. Mr Morrison on Friday confirmed his attendance to Glasgow for the climate change conference and is awaiting an outcome from the Nationals on a new climate plan to take. The PM has previously indicated that he would likely attend COP26 in Glasgow, he then suggested that he would not be going, and now it appears he is going to backflip again and will indeed go, Mr Reece said. It is a pretty embarrassing state of affairs when the future king of Australia has to shame our PM into attending a global conference on climate change. When it comes to this (climate) policy he has to wait for permission from the Nationals; well, as I said, this weekend we will find out, the Nationals meet on Sunday, theyll decide their policy position, we know which way its going to fall, theyll accept net zero in return for a whole bunch of pork barreling. It really should not be that hard; this is not the way that Australia should be governed; the Prime Minister should be leading, not following, not on an issue as important as this. Read More Our Apps
