Reading the excerpts published in articles has made me feel sick….the whole thing must be shocking.

Australia's expansion of fossil fuels a 'failure of national duty' says former ADF Chief Admiral Chris Barrie has said that inaction has left Australia 'dangerously exposed' to climate change.

Admiral Chris Barrie doesn't hold back speaking to the Climate Crisis Summit in Canberra, saying the expansion of fossil fuels was a “failure of national duty”.

“Security analysts are blunt, cascading climate impacts will drive instability, insecurity and conflict,” he said. #auspol

That will teach him 😂

So glad I checked…..wanted to see the inside pics.

Lovely job. Well done!

Albanese’s folly of pandering to Donald Trump ANALYSIS: The prime minister’s flattery of Donald Trump may be about preserving US relations, but he ought to focus on leaders who will really shape Australia’s future.
