Australia will not be given speaking slot at climate summit, Scott Morrison says

Australian PM not troubled' by snub after organisers criticised the country's lack of ambition on climate change action

Scott Morrison has signalled Australia will not be granted a speaking slot at a climate ambition summit this weekend, despite telling parliament a week ago he would attend to correct mistruths" about the government's heavily criticised record on emissions reduction.

Morrison was asked on the final day of parliament by the independent Zali Stegall whether he'd been invited to the event which is being hosted by Britain, France and the UN in a bid to boost climate commitments ahead of a major conference in Glasgow next year.
