  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."

If there is a slow down in boat arrivals as Tone and Morrison claim,  it's thanks to Kevin Rudd's PNG solution.

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".

That was a dumb statistic to bring up Poddster given that  68% DIDN'T vote for the Liberals in the same election.

Wont that be a bit embarrassing?

It is NOT about embarrassment, it is about  where this government is taking us. And I bet there are many people who voted LNP in September, who are starting to wonder what on the earth they were thinking.  And by the way, I know number of business people, long time Liberal voters, who are disgusted by TA's cuts in renewable energy projects, and his over all attitude to science and climate change.
