Australia is burning 'taxpayers' hard-earned dollars on the barbeque of climate change'
Instead of Paul Hogan throwing a prawn on the barbeque, Australias new campaign will be come and watch us burn taxpayers hard-earned dollars on the barbeque of climate change, says former S.A Liberal MP Nicolle Flint. Her comments follow the Productivity Commissions release of its five-year productivity report on the Australian economy, and Labors plan to invest $46 million to repair the countrys reputation. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is spending $2 billion on climate diplomacy, Ms Flint told Sky News host Cory Bernardi. The ACCC, theyre involved, the ATO when you look at the list of departments who are dedicating resources and taxpayers money to climate change its quite extraordinary. We now find out a week ago or so, the Assistant Minister for Health announced that the Department for Health will be getting a climate unit to look at the impact of climate change on human health.
