  It’s been embarrassment after embarrassment for Australia at the Warsaw climate change meeting.

"Australia was awarded Fossil of the Day on the summit’s first day. The award is given by the international Climate Action Network to the country which has done the most to block progress at the climate change negotiations on that day.

Australia also topped the Fossil of the Day Awards on Wednesday beating out Turkey. This one was for seeking to repeal the carbon price (hence “hurling Australia back into the abyss of time”, as opposed to the more than 40 countries, states and provinces who have moved into the modern times with a carbon price) and also stripping $435 million in funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and removing $10 billion of investment in clean energy."

Former UN Climate Chief, Yvo de Boer, upbraided Australia for its failure to send a Minister."

Perhaps it is Selective Cognitive Disorder Syndrome, in which case you have a valid excuse.

attempted  damage control   and so soon ..

The Federal Government is changing the way it involves the military head of its border protection operation in its weekly media conferences, saying it wants to protect the integrity of the Australian Defence Force.

Immigration Minister Scott Morrison says Operation Sovereign Borders Commander General Angus Campbell will no longer be present for the entire weekly briefing.

From now, Mr Morrison says, General Campbell will give his weekly report on the number of boat arrivals and take a few questions before leaving.  http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-11-15/morrison-splitting-government-adf-border-protection-briefings/...

General Campbell says three asylum seeker boats arrived in Australia in the past week, carrying a total of 163 asylum seekers and eight crew.

Two boats arrived at Christmas Island, one on Sunday and one on Monday.

General Campbell also confirmed a boat arrived in Darwin on Monday.

Mr Morrison refused to answer questions in Parliament this week about the boat that arrived in Darwin, saying he did not want to "undermine" the operation.

General Campbell says 97 people were transferred offshore in the past week, 67 to Manus Island and 30 to Nauru.

He says 31 people voluntarily returned to Iran and Iraq during the period.

General Campbell says Indonesia, supported by Australian authorities, arrested three "facilitators" and disrupted two "potential ventures," in the past week.

He says Malaysia, supported in a similar fashion by Australia, disrupted two "additional potential ventures".

time to come clean for the government i think, if they want to risk more damage keep up the secrecy . the weekly briefings are a joke.

Seeing there will be a by-election those figures may change to

54 to 91 seats 🙂
