JACINDA AND THE ISLAND GRIFTERS
It’s bad enough that Scott Morrison isn’t standing up to Pacific island climate cash extortionists, but now we’ve got New Zealand impediment Jacinda Ardern also bossing us around.
It’s bad enough that Scott Morrison isn’t standing up to Pacific island climate cash extortionists, but now we’ve got New Zealand impediment Jacinda Ardern also bossing us around:
Ms Ardern earlier said New Zealand — like the Pacific small island states — strongly backed action on climate change to ensure a global increase in temperature was kept to 1.5 degrees.
She said her country would "do its bit" …
That’s a translation of what she said, which sounded more like “uts but” muffled by an ivory harvest.
"Every single little bit matters. So that is why New Zealand has joined that international call. That is why we speak, I believe strongly on the international stage around these issues," Ms Ardern said.
New Zealand’s “luttle but” of carbon dioxide output doesn’t make the slightest bit of difference to the fate of Pacific islands or anything else. Does Wellington even have factories?
"But ultimately we all have to take responsibility for ourselves.”
Tell that to your Pacific island mates, Jacinda.
“Australia has to answer to the Pacific."
Yes. And we all know exactly what that answer should be.
