‘Borders on ridiculous’: The record number of Australians sent to Turkey for climate summit

It’s been revealed Australia has sent a record number of representatives to Turkey for the COP31 climate summit, at the expense of the taxpayer.

3AW host Shane McInnes and economist Leith van Onselen both didn’t hold back when they found out the figure.

“It just borders on ridiculous,” McInnes said.

Press PLAY to hear the number of representatives sent to Turkey (and the strong reaction on 3AW)

“The sanctimonious BS from the government, and it’s you and I being treated like fools.”
