Mo will still be eating coal because that's also who he works for. Not just the banks.

davidbewart Good man. ScottMorrisonMP deserves all we can dish out

SBS I wonder what the fire fighters in the usa have to say about it

mmechomski What has the LNP achieved? Lets see - Floods in North Queensland. Fires in Tasmania. Millions of dead fish in the destroyed Murray-Darling River system. Coral Bleaching of the GBR. Sixth year of Drought across Australia. Thank Baby Jesus there's no such thing as Climate Change.

Sadly our government and inaction go hand in hand. Climate change is real and we all have to do something. ScottMorrisonMP become an enabler.

Great to see. ScottMorrisonMP needs to understand that people are concerned about the future of their grandkids not only about their individual wealth. Can’t get the image of ScottMorrisonMP and that lump of coal in parliament.

I have given up I have decided to leave Australia as I cannot sit back & watch this Gov't destroy this beautiful country any longer I also cannot deal with the complete ignorance of some people when it comes to climate change can't ignore years of science
