Scott Morrison says NSW minister Matt Kean 'doesn't know what he's talking about' on climate

PM rebukes NSW environment minister over call to review emissions policy, saying most of the federal cabinet wouldn't know who Kean was

Scott Morrison has issued an extraordinary rebuke of the New South Wales environment minister, Matt Kean, for suggesting federal Liberals are pushing the government to increase its ambition on emissions reduction.

Asked about Kean's call for the federal government to abandon its use of Kyoto carryover credits to meet its 2030 emissions target, Morrison told ABC's AM that "Matt Kean doesn't know what he's talking about, he doesn't know what's going on in the federal cabinet [and] most of the federal cabinet wouldn't even know who Matt Kean was".
