Quotes attributable to Greens spokesperson for agriculture, Senator Peter Whish-Wilson: “News Corp’s Bush Summit appears designed to give a platform to some of the country’s most extreme and disturbing anti-net zero, anti-climate action rhetoric. “It is an echo chamber of dangerous, conservative, climate-denying policy fuelled by a mining billionaire and used to peddle misinformation on the climate action necessary to meet our Paris climate commitments.

“The fact the PM is skipping parliament to attend a conference with dangerous climate deniers tells you everything you need to know about where Labor’s own climate priorities lie. “Why attend this toxic summit designed to undermine climate action just prior to setting critical national emissions reduction targets? “The PM’s attendance at News Corp’s Bush Summit is an endorsement of the anti-net zero crusaders it celebrates and should be condemned.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
