Open Mic: Aussie Ministers Giggle about Climate refugees




Description:

Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has been overheard quipping about the plight of Pacific Island nations facing rising seas from climate change.
---------------------------------------
The mask has come off.
As I posted the other day, in the US, Republicans have gone full unapologetic Darth Vader on Climate. There’s no longer any pretense.
Here, Australian ministers giggle about the effects of sea level rise on Pacific Islanders.
ABC notes:
"Social Services Minister Scott Morrison then pointed out to both men that there was a microphone overhead."
