Fiji's prime minister will arrive in Australia on Thursday just weeks after slamming Scott Morrison's"insulting and condescending" attitude."Australia and Fiji, a key regional leader, have a strong friendship and a long history of co-operation, shared interests and values," Mr Morrison said on Wednesday night.
In an interview with Guardian Australia, Mr Bainimarama accused Mr Morrison of being"very insulting and condescending" during a leaders retreat.Asked if Mr Morrison's approach might cause some Pacific leaders to look to China, Mr Bainimarama said:"After what we went through with Morrison, nothing can be worse than him.But Mr Morrison insisted he has a good relationship with the Pacific, and on Wednesday he said the two leaders had committed to holding more regular meetings.
"We will discuss shared regional challenges such as illegal fishing and climate change, opportunities for increased trade, investment and labour mobility, as well as strengthening our cooperation on defence and security," Mr Morrison said. "Australia is committed to stepping up our engagement with Fiji and the Pacific more broadly to address common challenges and deepen longstanding ties in our region."This August forum ended with a statement calling on major economies to"rapidly implement their commitment to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies".
Many of the forum members wanted to single out coal-fired power for its impact on the climate, but the language was rejected in the final document.

Alan Jones calls on the PM to help farmers | Sky News AustraliaBroadcaster Alan Jones has called on the Prime Minister to take greater action for Australian farmers as drought and bushfires devastate parts of the country. \n\nSpeaking on Jones and Credlin, Mr Jones said “Canberra will tell you they’re not forgotten, but they’re just words”. \n\n“Mobilise the nation’s resources to address this catastrophe because if our farms go Prime Minister, we are all gone,” he said. \n\n“This is a rural Australia really in a state of play that it’s never been in before.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Maybe a coherent policy on carbon, climate change and pollution? Or is this going to be another reason to ignore the issue in favour of unsupportable subsidies. LOL it seems Alan Jones is confusing ScoMo with God? Not much HE can do about a weakened polar vortex, missing southern ocean winds, high temperatures and low rainfall over the next few months? auspol climatechange Certain farmers need assist Bush fires, back burning and fire breaks need attention, all Australian rivers need attention, but farming in Australia has always been a make it or break it industry, you cannot keep feeding money and resources into farms that aren’t going to produce.

The country's top bureaucrats say Government appears unprepared for climate changeThe most powerful bureaucrats in Australia have been war gaming to prepare the country for national-scale systemic climate risks. Cancelled due to non existent threat. There is no evidence of a risk from a rapid change in climate caused by human activities. All claims that there is were made based on fraudulent, manipulated or nonexistent data. Climate simulations even fail to track data that is recorded. Total Bullshit & the media outlets who peddle this are just as bad as the fanatical alarmists. I doubt a 1.5 degree rise in temperature would equate to third degree sunburn. Really desperate propaganda from a desperate religion which senses that people are starting to wake up Because it’s bullshit!!
