Our government needs to put Australia first: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says Australia should stop signing international treaties ‘full of good intentions’, which ‘impinge’ on sovereignty. \n\nThe NSW Land and Environment Court chief judge last week ruled against a proposed coal mine near Gloucester on the mid-north coast, saying it would increase the greenhouse gas emissions that Australia has committed to reducing. \n\nMs Credlin says ‘let's not elect governments that are fixated with striking a pose on the international stage ahead of safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of Australians here at home, the very people they're supposed to serve.’ If the rest of the world becomes uninhabitable due to climate change we'll be right jack! Thankfully you're no longer in a position to do this. Should we abrogate all responsibility to international polity?
