Climate change has become a weapon with which to wage war over other issues in Australian politics, says former foreign minister-turned Australian National University chancellor Julie Bishop.
"It was a national energy policy – we do not currently have a national energy policy, as far as I can see," she said in her first series of interviews as ANU chancellor.After leaving politics at the last federal election in May, Ms Bishop replaced former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans at the helm of the ANU.
Ms Bishop said Australia has been on the front line of extreme weather events and climate change, and it has "given many people cause for reflection". "Julia Gillard lost her way when we – as a Coalition – mounted such an effective attack on the carbon tax that both Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull were subject to such discontent in the party room because there were not aligning with a particular view of climate change," she said.

British Foreign Secretary says Huawei decision won't impact intelligence sharing with AustraliaBritish Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab says the decision by his government to allow Chinese company Huawei into the country's 5G network will have no impact on its ability to share sensitive information with Australia I agree.
