The Greens have slammed the Prime Minister for skipping parliamentary proceedings today to attend climate disinformation spreader News Corp's Bush Summit, sponsored by mining billionaire Gina Rinehart.
As stated by Greens spokesperson for agriculture, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson:
"News Corp's Bush Summit appears designed to give a platform to some of the country's most extreme and disturbing anti-net zero, anti-climate action rhetoric.
"It is an echo chamber of dangerous, conservative, climate-denying policy fuelled by a mining billionaire and used to peddle misinformation on the climate action necessary to meet our Paris climate commitments.
"The fact the PM is skipping parliament to attend a conference with dangerous climate deniers tells you everything you need to know about where Labor's own climate priorities lie.
"Why attend this toxic summit designed to undermine climate action just prior to setting critical national emissions reduction targets?
"The PM's attendance at News Corp's Bush Summit is an endorsement of the anti-net zero crusaders it celebrates and should be condemned."
