As Australians gamble on the Melbourne Cup, Prime Minister makes each-way bet on climate change at COP26 – ABC News

Scott Morrison and Boris Johnson share the stage at COP26

He claims he’s not a liar but then he claime Macron insulted the Australian Public an immediate lie to boost his claim he’s not a liar. He’s a dud a real dud. Tim Smith was merely DUI. Morrison is a serial bullshitter who was sacked by NZ and Australia for his inexcusable “clumsiness”, poor judgement, and communication skills. We have witnessed all of it for the past  3 years.

In failing to offer more action this decade — the main objective of COP26 — Scott Morrison needed to make a case for Australian exceptionalism. In some sense he succeeded, but not as hoped. “The Australian Way” seems to have highlighted that this nation, as in past COP meetings, is acting as a brake on climate action, not a ready participant. Which makes it all the harder to convince ‘developing’ countries — which includes the likes of China and India — to follow suit. Scott Morrison will depart Glasgow with Australia’s six-year-old 2030 target unchanged. He may be able to brush off the criticism Australia is copping at COP26, but it is likely to follow him. Frank Bainimarama, the strong man and powerful voice of the Pacific, made it clear that success in limiting climate change should not be left to chance. “We have moral authority,” he said. “You have a moral obligation.”

But these numbers demonstrated better than any others how the nature of the pandemic has morphed as much as the virus itself in the last couple of months. It’s no longer just about protecting old and vulnerable people. The chances that you will catch it from a casual contact are much higher. It’s a disease that is hitting people of every age, and hard. It’s not just a race to vaccinate the vulnerable groups — it’s a race to vaccinate everyone. Politically, too, it is morphing. The all-too-easy politics that seemed to flow from Victoria’s woes last year — the implicit message that it all came down to various forms of incompetence in one state — are also a thing of the past now that the “gold standard” state is in such a crisis. This isn’t just a shot at the fact the Prime Minister has put so much store on NSW Premier Gladys Berijiklean’s handling of the pandemic in her state until now. It is that so many more variables than tracing systems and hotel quarantine are now open to question, and set different political hares running. It is vaccine supplies and
