Q&A: former Tuvalu PM says Scott Morrison denies climate change is happening in Pacific

Special episode of the ABC show featuring Pacific leaders was dominated by climate crisis and Australia's response

The former prime minister of Tuvalu, Enele Sopoaga, who hosted Pacific leaders including Scott Morrison and Jacinda Ardern at the Pacific Islands Forum in August has told a special Pacific edition of Q&A he was "taken aback" by Scott Morrison's behaviour in the diplomatic meetings.

"Unfortunately prime minister Scott Morrison of Australia [was] expressing views that completely denies there is climate change happening already in the Pacific. As chairman I was taken a little bit aback," he said.
