Scott Morrison's coal-fired climate hypocrisy
This government has chosen to drag its heels on climate issues. It should not be surprised at the backlash it has triggered.
Richard DennissContributorScott Morrison announced $1 billion worth of new and expanded dams on the weekend. While conceding his new dams won’t help with the current drought, he says that when it comes to the next drought, prevention is better than cure.
