Tony Abbott an enemy of the state?

Some thoughts on the Australian crisis.

Today's media cycle will be all about Tony Abbott's call for Australia to withdraw from the Paris emissions agreement. Cory Bernardi is the only Australian parliamentarian who has been consistent while the LNP tears itself apart trying to walk both sides of the politically correct fence.

It's eight days since the LNP declared its policy was for a "future beyond coal". The continued confusing messages and big talk and no action from well-intentioned Coalition politicians has prompted me to release this statement. We simply have to get common sense back into the energy debate.

After another day of mixed messages from the Coalition on coal, I issued this media release this morning.
