The Prime Minister’s office has confirmed a decision has not been made on whether he will attend the United Nations Climate Change Conference, known as COP26.

It's understood Mr Morrison is weighing whether to take another international trip following his recent visit to Washington, given the potential quarantine requirement.The timing of the Glasgow summit in November would also come around the time of Australia's potential reopening, with that factor being considered in his decision.

But it remains to be seen whether the Australian government will update its emissions targets ahead of the Glasgow summit, despite partners the US and UK already revising their medium-term goals. “The Prime Minister should attend the Glasgow conference and he should represent Australia - if he doesn’t it’s because he is embarrassed by Australia’s position,” he told reporters.Greens Leader Adam Bandt also said COP26 was a crucial meeting for Mr Morrison to attend.

But Mr Joyce maintained that any such deal would need to outline the cost of the plan and not unfairly impact jobs in regional areas.

xskinn So it is further proof Scovid is not an important world leader. Complete charlatan.

Like someone said why would you send the foreign minister instead of the climate minister.… Perhaps he speaks Scottish. Lol

He's not going.

👎👎👎

I really hope he doesn’t go. Australia doesn’t need the embarrassment of him representing us on the world stage. Johnny Howard used to make me cringe, but Morrison is even worse. Don’t send Payne either. Send Les Patterson at least we would get a laugh.

Running scared. Dump the Nationals and work with labor and greens

Missing because he is calling an election, we hope

Not so crucial after all !

It's understandable why he isn't attending - he isn't a world leader...in fact he doesn't even behave as a leader for all Australians to have trust and confidence. Just good for smoke screen and mirrors!!

He’ll miss the talks? The organisers probably uninvited him is more likely.

I’m not keen on ScottyTheAnnouncer. Shall we vote?

Send Dutton instead! At least he'll make some jokes about Kiribati & I'm sure everyone will think he's as funny as, um... Oh, what's the word? 🤮

Morrison will be remembered as one of the most inefficient/sleepy/uncaring/miscalculating PM in Australian history he is amazingly good at not grasping the issues be it AusFires/Covid/Vaccination/AussieStuckAbroad/ClimateChange/China , he messed them up superbly.hopeHeGoneSoon!

“But I don’t wanna go! Nobody likes me and they say mean things to me…”

The ultimate shirker. I don’t hold a hose mate. I go to Hawaii while my country burns. I hide inside while my incompetence is laid bare. I fiddle while the world burns. I’m only interested in me.

SBS Bible verse John 3:16,17

Shitebag! As we'd say in Glaswegian

And why would that be a Point of Interest at this Point in Time? Did he make 'Announcements' on a Global Stage and just realise People outside of Australia heard him?

Just think our far in front Australia would be towards achieving climate change targets if the LNP under Abbott hadn't demolished the Gillard Labor government's ETS and Mining Royalty Tax schemes.

Good… he’s an embarrassment

Just another example of him not doing his job. We certainly don’t get value for money with this appalling excuse for a PM.

Guess the rapture’s arriving early? Should we be docking his pay? It feels like we should be.

Here’s a list of countries whose leader isn’t attending the summit: Australia

Not going? This isn’t the school ball. He’s the prime minister for heaven’s sake. Grow a pair!

Yup ! what else would you expect. This bloke's conduct on the national and world stage on all public policy consistently shameful, negligent and cowardly.

He won't have a choice

But has time to see the boss mr Murdock

He doesn’t hold the hose... clearly.

What excuse is he going to use this time?

Firemonkey991 What cowardice!

Disgraceful!

SBS What, is he going away on holiday or something?

That’s because he’s a bought and paid for evangelical climate change denier 😊🙌👍 ClimateEmergency

Joe is not gonna like this

SBS Is he worried it will interfere with his three month summer break?

Coward💩

Any worthy leader will be there! If Morrison is not, this will be another reason for his political demise.

Australia is a climate pariah and an international embarrassment, what’s the bet he will find a reason not to go but if he does go, coz he’s a sociopath and would fear missing out on attention, he’ll spout big lies and spin like crazy.Same old same old as we’ve come to expect!

Useless

Reportedly asked for the venue to changed to Hawaii😎

he can't he has my mum. pamela kendrick 110439 british. kidnapped her. REMOVE DR PAEK TASMANIA HEAD OF THE ELDERLY. an abusive targeting murderer. they don't use sexual abuse or shock treatment anymore. they do know that.

There is nothing more important NOTHING!

And the rest of the world's developed nations would barely notice his absence, and probably give a sigh of relief if they did.

Minister Susan ley for environment is fighting kids in court to overturn a ruling that states minister must act on duty of care for children's future in climate change.!? Otherwise it's destroy kids future..!!?

Funny when he does something not important like his trip in the UK it’s part of his job but when it’s actually a climate crisis and part of his job he doesn’t go...

Honestly … what would he do there? It’s like a devout Muslim going to a wine tasting.

Coward

ScottyTheCoward 🐔

Of course he will, what else is new?

Hes booked in for lap and surgery

Sue0606 There's bin another mudder

Sue0606 Quite obvious that Boris & Biden told him not to bother turning up if he had no plans for net zero by 2050.

We in Glasgow won’t miss him

He has no policy of course he will.

Why? Prebooked holiday somewhere?

The rest of the World suspects he is a coward. Now he's about to remove any doubt. He's no leader - he's a fraud.

Didn't take long for the real ScottMorrisonMP to stand up. Hope Ms Pelosi SpeakerPelosi is taking note.

Not a leader

Who gives a ?

Only because he's got plans to travel overseas in the Xmas holidays

I heard he was uninvited

The one consolation is that nobody will miss him.

It's not like he has anything useful to say is it...

Is that a resignation

Waiting to see if there’s a crisis or accusation needing to be avoided at the time? As if he’d contribute productively to talks about climate change anyway! 🙄

Early election and expecting to lose in a landslide then? VoteLNPOut ScottyLies

Morrison did indicate he was considering retiring before the election. This is another indication that it’s much closer than I thought.

Calculating...it will coincide with biggest covid challenges and doesn't want to be overseas when it happens this time.

He could always tell them “Australia is getting more carparks”

I shouldn’t really matter. He has nothing to take to the table anyway.

He needs to go on a holiday in Hawaii It seems the time.

Does that mean he expects the party to dump him as leader and that Dutton or Frydenberg will go?

Annual leave. Taking the kids away.

morrisonmustgo He is afraid his lies will be out in the open if her attends

don't make it look like its your choice mate ... you will be irrelevant, you know it, and you want to make sure you are front and centre in the lead up to the next election. auspol LNPfail

I think he should go. He could take a lump of coal for each of the attendees.

Australia’s reputation goes from bad to worse. The real story will be what other important commitments does he have. Will he be taking that yellow streak to an election?

He knows he'll be ridiculed & scolded on the world stage; his precious ego can't take the heat he's inflicting on the rest of us.

Wot, no branch of the Morrison family tree needing a side visit in Scotland?

At least he’s aware he’ll be in over his head.

Coward. Can't face the pressure and the reality. May be he doesn't have the support from 2 aukus big bros.

What? Miss his big chance on the world stage to talk about how his 'Technology not taxes' plan is working to lower emissions? OK Good point. May be more prudent to stay away & say nothing. People at these climate talks may not understand his need for doublethink on climate action

Elections? Watch him do a flip on CC. Anything to retain power.

Unacceptable that’s what we pay him for That’s the job Morrison must Call the Election if he refuses to fulfil his Duty as PM to Australians and our kids future in failing to attend Glasgow

Because he has called an election?

Why does it clash with a Hillsong event? Rupert Murdoch’s birthday? 🤷‍♀️ notaleaderjustaliberal

Where does he plan to run to?

A bit hypocritical to fly halfway round the world, then profess to be concerned about the climate

Because the ClimateEmergency isn't a race either?

Plot Twist: He wasn't invited.

Morrison is better to stay in ACT, so that Australians can be less embarrassing internationally.

Obviously the talks aren’t ‘crucial’ to Scotty.

Maybe the Prime Minister will send Senator Matt Canavan to represent him at COP26. No one will notice any difference!

Because he's got an 'essential travel pass' to holiday in Hawaii. ScottMorrisonMP

probably don’t know his name either!

No surprises there… full of BS for his US mate

Coward.
