Nothing in common between Malcolm's words and actions

(I really wish Malcolm Turnbull’s words and actions had something in common for he warns the world’s nations about the threat of climate change, but in fact here at home he does nought, or even worsens the situation by allowing things to happen in Australia that deepen the difficulty, not only in Australia, but around the world – Robert McLean)

Malcolm Turnbull's actions
don't match his words.

Malcolm Turnbull will tell the United Nations General Assembly climate change threatens “the future of generations around the globe”, in an address also promoting Australia’s case for election to the UN Human Rights Council.

In his wide-ranging speech, Turnbull will say the scale of the international refugee and displaced persons problem is so great – 65 million people - “that resettlement in other countries can never come close to being near enough” to deal with it.

“The most urgent priority is to re-establish stability and assure security in regions of conflict and in addition ensure that there are greater opportunities for economic advancement in the source countries of so much of this irregular migration,” he says.

“Ultimately, we will only find sustainable solutions by addressing the root causes and drivers of displacement. The largest of these are conflict and instability.”
