Love this! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻 Simone needs to.

Australia has been aware of this since they started mining, if they wanted to do something they would've by now smh (˘̩̩̩ε˘̩ƪ)

Well yes of course. I was going to holiday in Fiji, but now considering the climate I'll stay in Australia so we dont contribute via fossil fuel flights. Im also going to begin campaigning against all holidays to Fiji...

Both major parties have been treating the prime Minister position like a kindergarten ride. The collabarative piss weak Australian leadership over time has undermined Australia internationally, just Chinese propaganda and exposing Chinese influence among our closest neighbours.

Does HE look like he is REALLY listening!! Body language says NO!!

theAdrianYeung Why doesn't Fiji stop using fossil fuels first?

Listen Frank, I’m only honouring you with my presence in Fiji to hide from the balls up with the Murray-Darling at home. Don’t you give me bloody climate change grief too!!

Louise_Hislop When you’re so bad even Fiji gets to lecture you from the moral high ground...

Someone needs to give Fiji a map. Not close at all to Australia. Closer to New Zealand

Fiji what's killing you ecological system is countries like China and others who destroy the environment. Plus nature changing.

And SBS told us not to put the heater on in Winter while watching the World Cup in the middle of the night, to meet Paris target.

This may not be the answer but it could be where we start looking. For a solution that is needed now. We all have to do our bit to save this planet. climatechange ClimateChangeIsReal

Australians have also firmly told its government to shift away from coal. They’re not listening. It’s okay though, because they will be replaced at the next election.

Why the f76k would Australia take advice from corrupt Fijians govt?

If it were true, the islands would all have been underwater by now.

Whats their scientific reasons? What evidence do they have. Don’t say climate change.

Great smackdown on Scumo.

hhaaaaaa another dill

Get out of our affairs Fiji

Good

JohnWren1950 And of course SloMo our temporary PM said I don't have to, as I am reducing emissions faster than I have agreed to already. Of course those are LNP figures which rarely get close to reality.

And it makes financial sense !!

New fakenews and bullsht from SBS

Right....

eckrules I'm not sure what language is spoken in Fiji but could I respectfully suggest an addition maybe? F-U-C-K O-F-F! Intended of course to their telling us how to handle our energy resources (and get more $$$$$$$'s naturally)

'Oh, if only I'd known' said Scott...

I studied control systems, I know there is a point when a system becomes unstable - for example 'a driver looses control', this is what that means. It seems we are moving with ever increasing speed (i.e. more consumption) towards that point. That point means, no turning back!

You cannot claim to be a government then fail to deal with the most pressing issues! That is what governing is for!!!

Bull shit. Corruption and mis-management are hurting Pacific Island Nations.

As if AUSTRALIA will make a difference LOL sounds someone looking for more free aid

JohnWren1950 If only they knew Scomo was laughing on the inside. Not happening buddy.

And we should say, mind your own business or we will stop any further aid!

Wasting his breath. Hold the conversation for the next PM.

JohnWren1950 Did Scott take a lump of coal with him to Fiji? Very clever bloke.

lolololol Yes, AUSTRALIA is killing the pacific with it's emissions, as globally significant as they are. It's sure not China and India .....

and australia has laughed and said yeh righto

He might as well talk to the wall behind him, ScoMo will do nothing for fear of loosing his position!

Fiji needs to understand that the primary driver of Climate Change is the distance that the earth is from the sun. Because the earth is on a 100k yr circular to elliptical orbit & we're in the 4th interglacial between 3 Ice ages in the last 1mill yrs - we can't stop CC auspol

And it all went straight over the top of ScumMo's head because there is nothing in between his ears to stop it.

How much aid did he ask for as compensation

Fiji should shift away from single use plastic water bottles

Get.stuffed 👎😡 auspol

What bullshit.

Did SloMo brought a lump of coal with him?

The climate deniers don’t care

davidbewart Check the look on his face .like he bit a lemon .onion isn't his scene .

If only be would listen...

JaneReid5 Any support ScottMorrisonMP gives to our Pacific neighbours is just platitudes unless he commits to rapidly dumping & ceasing mining of fossil fuels within the next 20 years.

They might have more luck with a newly elected ALP government. ScottMorrisonMP

Coal pays for their foreign aid.

Mick_Peel

Frank Bainamarama , ? Sp., is a lot smarter than our entire government.

No, it means we're competitive with China, a major sponsor of Fiji.

Scotty didn't take his lump of coal to Fiji ?

Shame Fiji has swallowed the UN's climate change SCAM, hook line and sinker !😡

How is it hurting pacific nations? I didn’t think it had really done anything yet.

Fiji is simply using so called “climate change” for another one of Australia’s foreign aid handouts.

MSMWatchdog2013 Scomo the fraud and Frank the dictator ...

Fiji relies on tourism. Tourists arrive by aircraft that use fossil fuels. Should Fiji abandon tourism?

They will be our first climate refugees. so help now or help later. which is it to be Mr Troglodyte?

Has anyone ever been able to photograph Morrison where he doesn’t look like a smug, preening git?

Is anyone listening

ScottMorrisonMP thought he was just on a Political Kontiki tour and have a beer. Climate change is real dipshit and all these islanders are serious about it. But you’re taking to the moron that brought a piece of coal into Parliament. Good on the Fiji PM for putting it to him.

our Pacific neighbors are all moving ahead of us

Climate change may be hurting Pacific nations but need talk to China first, then India.

Ridiculous request, China is world's biggest polluter, about 30% of total emissions, whatever Australia does is insignificant.

And here we sit as our fish die and pacific Islands sink in the sunset watching our vacuous and hypocritical coal loving and climate change sceptic PM wreathed in welcome talking shit to FIJI,

Brainwashed fiji

Yet Fiji has discussions with China, the world's greatest polluter. That seems somewhat ironic.

Australia produce less than 1.5% of worlds CO2 a required gas, not a pollutant. reducing our emissions to ZERO will do nothing but we still have ignorant morons calling for us to reduce while China produces our annual emissions a week. You lot are the dumbest people in Australia

Complete bollocks. These people are trying to milk us for all it's worth

The look on his face is priceless - he's all 'flat earth, climate change - whatever, there are real issues to deal with and you're banging on about a massive global wealth distribution scheme, all because the UN is going broke?'

How's that then?

I wish the Fiji PM won’t stop worrying about silly things like climate change and focus on what’s really important. Our Prime Moron has Not only Stepped Up but has also Shown Up. What more do they want?

plbrocks Bullshit they only want more money, most of the islands are expanding, and many are at sea level anyway and have always been.👍👍

That is an important fact but he will ignore his government will not do anything they are owned by the miners .the land and waterways and the reef and the pacific mean nothing to them LNP and anyone who votes LNP

Nero Fiddled while Rome Burned to the Ground MSM Virtue Signalling when In Reality MSM AIDS (pun intended) & Abets the Destruction of the Planet BurnInHellParasiticalGreedyGollumsAndShills

Oh dear, Fiji has bought the climate change lie, too!?

BS

Look at Morrison's vacant expression. He could not care less.

deniseshrivell Don’t you worry prime minister of Fiji,we will tell him good and proper at the election

He is talking to a coal industry licker who is unable to sniff the breeze!

What nonsense

Sorry Didn't quite catch that.

and that's about the extent of Fiji's 'contribution' to the 'economic and strategic partnership'. Where does Fiji get off firmly telling anyone anything

Pwaahaa: translation 'the UN pays us big money for AGW...so, of course we love it and ignore the fact that no sea-level rise has occurred'. climatehoax

Jackthelad1947 That would have fallen on deaf ears. Not in an election year, the donations and brown paper bags would dry up, just like the Murray -Darling river.

GayeFreeman8 Coal is ScottMorrisonMP second religion.

And what did Fiji tell China I wonder.

Bad advice from a non-white country. Who knew?

ummm thanks for the advice Fiji but kindly shove it ...

The look Scottie used to get when mum told him to clean his room. Yeh, sure mum. Yakkity yak.

Did they make the same request of Chinese who are burning about 50 times as much fossil fuels as Australia? theheraldsun

Carn Fiji

Fiji can piss off .

Good for Fiji 🇫🇯 🤗

Commonsense last, but will he listen......nah 🤡🤠

They laughed and cracked jokes about fossil fuel affecting them. Same Mob just different people ..and still won't Listen.

Maybe he can bring back a piece of CORAL to show’n’tell in parliament this time.

Scott Morrison, do you remember when you stood with idiot Dutton and Tony Abbott the imbecile, laughing at the misfortunes of pacific islands with rising water levels?and then you saved the day by noticing a boom above was on. Will you now take some action on climate change?

Climate change?

Bananarama embraces both the Cargo Cult AND the Climate Cult, but rejects the cannibalism of his ancestors.

This gent who orchestrated not one but two military coups because he & mates felt disadvantaged by the enterprising approaches of Fijian Indian business people. Now it seems Chinese $ is just fine & is an added leverage tool to preach to Australia, send us aid or lose influence.

Abt time

Well done, Fiji 👏🏻👏🏻

If Fiji says so Sco Mo, DO IT !!

Unadjusted temperatures show no Temp increase. Real Sea level not rising. Fiji is sponging for money from the UN & soft touch Australia.

What is “hurting” them, & how? Australia could completely deindustrialise TOMORROW, or TRIPLE our use of fossil fuels, and *neither one would make any difference at all*.

Did ScoMo get it?

How does Fiji generate its power ? Diesel generator

This government won’t even take Fiji’s advice on Fiji citizenship laws. Fat chance they are going to listen on climate change.

And Scott probably nodded and then changed the subject. Climate change is not something he believes in, despite ample evidence

Fiji was supposed to be under water by now.

Will we listen ? Probably not

Rubbish!!

Ummmmmmm well I'm giving you Rupert and Kerry news and propaganda shows but coal not on the farthest horizon

Looking for more Cash Handouts of course!

Not the Sharpest Tools in The Shed.🙄

they should better hit their head to wall instead telling to Libs leadrshp... no use

He’s not listening. He only listens to the voice from above...or is that is his head...and your from the wrong tribe.

Only because Fiji doesn't mine coal.

And Australia said “what climate change?” and “coal is good” and “shut the fuck up or we’ll cut your aid” and “we’re the big boys in the neighbourhood and we JUST DONT CARE”. Or something like that.

What is Scomo wearing.

ScottMorrisonMP PrimeMuppet auspol lnp CIRCUS abcnews SkyNewsAust

Morrison won't do anything. Morrison doesn't care.

Qldaah

And China is just fine. What a joke. Climatechangehoax

Hurting them how? They aren't sinking. That's Greens lies.

Well I’m sure they listened and will act on that plea being such firm believers of the science of climate change. Don’t LNP politicians make jokes about these islands when they forget the boom mic’s are on?

Love China, india,and the United States ,job jobs jobs

No they didnt.

And that's why Fiji is a RIP off,easily brainwashed, bags 20 cents,9%GST, 6%STT,10% ECAL,ALL TAXES IMPOSED BY THE 2 BIT FIJIAN IDIOT GOVERMENT...

I'd tell Fiji to wake up...

China's annual increase in emissions is greater than Australia's total emissions. And China has no concrete policies to do anything PRIOR to 2030. Apart from build 220 coal fired power plants and confirmed have plans for another 266.
