Albanese avoids media over the total ‘diplomatic embarrassment’ of pre-COP

Shadow Energy and Emissions Reduction Minister Dan Tehan says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is “embarrassed” he went to pre-COP and has avoided the media as a result.

“The prime minister should never have gone. He knew that Chris Bowen had made a complete fiasco of this, that leaders were withdrawing,” Mr Tehan told News24.

“He was embarrassed that he even went over there, and hence he avoided the media because he didn’t want to be called up on what the cost is.”
