Prime minister slams state colleague over climate claims, says he 'doesn't know what he's talking about'

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has taken an extraordinary personal swipe at a NSW Liberal government minister in a bid to downplay alleged divisions in the party over climate action.

"Matt Kean doesn't know what he's talking about. He doesn't know what's going on in the federal cabinet," Mr Morrison told ABC radio on Monday.NSW Environment Minister Matt Kean.Trade Minister Simon Birmingham admitted knowing who the NSW minister is. Asked if he knows Mr Kean, Mr Birmingham told Sky News:"Yes, I do."

The deadly and unprecedented bushfires have renewed public pressure on the government over its climate policies, with calls for the coalition to take more action.Sir David Attenborough hits out at Australia's climate platform amid global 'moment of crisis' Mr Morrison has turned his focus on climate change adaptation and resilience, but has backed in coal exports and rejected a price on carbon emissions.

Ever notice how when we look at history the right wingers always end up turning on each other?

Could start with cleaning up this government - this swamp is as bad As the one Trump created

Kik - missannieme

Morrison is trying to create a Trump like swamp. Boot anyone that will hold you accountable and fill your swamp with criminals and yes men

NSW in my opinion is a developer suckup UN friendly left of centre government where the people are last on the consideration list! Sorry!

So ScottyfromMarketing is beginning to get vocal about climate change, on the proviso that it doesn’t affect the coal industry, require a carbon tax or ... anything really ... just some better headlines please

They're crumbling 🤣🤣🤣

Really..

Probably will cost his job instead.

ScottyFomMarketing has no shame. And not much of a moral compass either. PoorFellowMyCountry

what a stretch

Matt Kean is a useless f-wit. ScoMo needed to call him out

Pressure's on Scotty. We can feel it building, from all directions. Are you still burning for us, or about to explode?

And rightly so the fool should be discredited

Nup, don’t believe it ScottyFomMarketing wouldn’t do such a thing, being such a good bloke & all...

This is last weeks news, I thought you might of had an update.

Hyperbole!

This could be the one time Pauline Hanson would make a better PM. he just sucks balls that much

Climate change is a scam

The Crimeminister Is a bully doing what bullies do.

Morrison is a failure. Resign

Every Australian already spends more on renewable investment than any other citizen on earth despite the fact that we have one of the lowest emissions per sqkm on the planet. Fact check this and then tell us we should financially burden ourselves more. Let the polluters pay more
