China-chaired UNESCO 'hasn't visited Great Barrier Reef since 2012' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James Paterson says UNESCO 'hasn't visited the Great Barrier Reef since 2012' and it was taken off the 'in danger list in 2015', but all of a sudden, under a Chair from China, the warning is likely to be put back on.\n\n'Of the 21 members of the UNESCO council, 14 of them are Belt & Road agreement participants and the 15th is China as Chair,' he said.\n\nSenator Paterson said it was clear “geopolitical motivations” were at play when United Nations environmental body, UNESCO – chaired by a Chinese government minister - drafted a document to list the Great Barrier Reef as 'in danger'.\n\n“We won’t be taking a lecture from the Chinese government on our barrier reef,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nThe senator also pointed to China’s disastrous climate record declaring Australia “won’t be taking a lecture from them on climate change either”.\n\n“If they believe climate change is causing harm to the Great Barrier Reef, well then they need to look pretty close to home as the world’s largest emitter,' Mr Paterson said.\n\n'If geopolitical motivations are at play, which they appear to be, Australia's chances of overturning this and having it treated only the scientific and environmental merits are not looking very good.'\n\n SenPaterson Un says NOTHING about China polluting the Pacific Ocean Toxic wastewater from China into the Pacific Ocean SenPaterson SenPaterson The reef may have been taken off the endangered list in 2015, but the climate has continued to warm and we may not be able to stop degradation of reef no matter how much is spent on other fixes, water runoff etc
