Can I suggest to our Prime Minister that for all his outrage over Christine Holgate’s spend, $20,000 is just a drop in the ocean when compared to his governments misuse of taxpayers’ money (“Government hits back at Holgate’s claims over exit”, April 15)? Where does one start: the Christmas Island reopening photo opportunity; the $50 million spent on keeping the Murugappan family incarcerated on said island; the sports rorts scandal; the robodebts repayments; the community grants program; the repeated inquiries, investigations and finally a royal commission into age care; and the multiple positions on climate change? ....

The US is expected to announce increased Paris targets as early as next week
The EU is already in talks to slap tariffs on imports from high-emitting nations ....

A report by the Climate Council claiming that the global average temperature rise will likely breach 1.5C by the 2030s has caused division in the scientific community.
The report, published on Thursday, follows controversy over similar arguments made in a review by the Australian Academy of Science, which said global aspiration of limiting global heating to 1.5C was now “virtually impossible” to achieve.
In its report, the Climate Council says the majority of emissions cuts need to occur within the next decade to keep global heating to well below 2C and avoid major, irreversible tipping points. ....
