Australia has been confirmed as a climate pariah as the UN\u2019s Climate Ambition Summit speaking list released today confirms the Prime Minister has been barred from speaking at the key international meeting.
\nThe list also confirms the Prime Minister misled Parliament when he claimed he would be attending in the Summit.
\nThe government this morning is also defying a Senate Order to release the rejection letter from the Summit organisers which would show the reasons why Australia has been barred.
\nLeader of the Australian Greens\u00a0Adam Bandt MP said:<\/strong>
\n\u201cAustralia is now a climate pariah with the rest of the world turning their backs on us,\u201d Mr Bandt said.
\n\u201cThe world is sending Scott Morrison a clear message that his weak 2030 targets are not enough to tackle the climate crisis.
\n\u201cWith Donald Trump on his way out, there is now nowhere left for Scott Morrison to hide.
\n\u201cAustralia now sits with Russia and Saudia Arabia in the club of climate deniers.
\n\u201cWorld leaders recognize we are on track for climate catastrophe unless everyone lifts their ambition, but Scott Morrison refuses to do what\u2019s needed to protect Australia and its people.
\n\u201cThe Prime Minister is now scrambling to create a fig leaf for his humiliation by using a Pacific Islands climate roundtable tonight to announce Australia would no longer cheat on its climate targets with so-called Kyoto credits.
\n\u201cIf he bullies the Pacific Island leaders like he did at the last Pacific Islands Forum, Scott Morrison risks further damaging our relationship with our neighbours.
\n\u201cCommitting to science-based 2030 targets and a green recovery would also help with our big problems with China.
\n\u201cIt is not too late for Australia. The Prime Minister should change course and join with President-elect Biden and Europe and lead the world in confronting the climate emergency.\u201d
