Tony Abbott’s Big Speech: no mention and NO QUESTIONS on climate change
I have just listened to Australia’s Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, delivering a lengthy, waffling and repetitive speech at the National Press Club luncheon. Not that this was a surprise, seeing that it represents a last ditch of a beleagured politician to convince sceptical journalists, and the public, that he is The Greatest. That was pretty much the theme – that and the previous labor government being responsible for all our ills.
No matter – as far as I’m concerned, everything that Tony Abbott says is pretty irrelevant to Australia’s present and future condition.
IN 2007 Australia had a Prime Minister who stated that climate change is “the great moral, environmental and economic challenge of our age”
I didn’t expect Abbott to mention Climate Change.
But what about our journalists? There they were – apparently aiming to trap Tony about his leadership position.
I would have liked some more questions about the government’s policies. And at least just one little question about Australia’s policy, or lack thereof, on Climate Change
