Albanese decries climate injustice abroad while backing coal at home

Original: # Australia Overseas, Albanese sees ‘the very definition of climate injustice’ – but at home, he still wants coal Adam M

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, speaking in Nadi, Fiji, called climate change 'the very definition of climate injustice' for Pacific nations facing rising seas. Critics point to a contradiction: his government opposes legal action seeking to stop a coalmine in New South Wales and continues to approve coal projects. Commenters say the gap between Australia's regional rhetoric and its domestic fossil fuel policy is widening as Pacific leaders press for stronger emissions cuts.

Why now: The contrast between the PM's Pacific climate message and his support for coal mining is drawing criticism of government inconsistency.
