(The Guardian) Climate change is a national security issue, says PM
Anthony Albanese is going through what has been done and what the agenda is moving forward: Climate change is a national security issue. That is well understood throughout the world, but nowhere more so than with our Pacific neighbours. And when we met at the Pacific Islands Forum just a couple of weeks ago, our changed position was included in the communique and it was very much welcomed going forward. And it has made an enormous difference.
As well, we have dealt with the challenges that come to government and one of those is, of course, the consequences of having a decade of inaction on energy policy means we’ve had a decade of failure of investment in new, clean energy, because how can you invest ... when you don’t have any going forward, when there is no policy framework?
Business has been crying out for that framework but we’ve had to deal with the consequences of that inaction and Chris Bowen has done a remarkable job in dealing with a challenge.
