People not believing a spineless PM that changes plans at the last minute and doesn't keep promises? Wow shocker.

All countries are sceptical of this scammer.

They are wise to be sceptical. Bainimarama is almost as corrupt as Scomo...

Too polite Fiji

ABC turns a positive into a negative again

Good reason to be sceptical

I imagine one of those countries would be the one that Peter Dutton laughed at a few years ago. He laughed about their precarious situation in dealing with Climate Change. He should have been sacked.

wait till he reads the details. Oh yeah, he can't read the details, because THERE'S NO PLAN.

Thats because Figi is a bloody tax haven... read between the lines ABC!

Yeah every decade Australia commits to take action by a deadline a decade later than before.

Any time you deal with Morrison and the LNP the first response should always be Skepticism and not ignoring the fact that the hairs on the back of your neck standing upright is a massive red flag screaming at you that what your seeing is NOT what your going to get …

Maybe the other Pacific countries would be better off focussing on China rather than Australia. Report back and let us know how it goes
