Australia 'cannot be responsible for 100 per cent of the solution'

Sky News contributor Scott Emerson says Prime Minister Scott Morrison "has got to do the sensible thing" in addressing the government's action on climate change.

“We are only responsible for 1.3 per cent we cannot be responsible for 100 per cent of the solution," Mr Emerson told Sky News host Paul Murray.

In his National Press Club address on Wednesday, Prime Minister Scott Morrison defended his government’s position to keep the budget in surplus despite the ongoing drought and bushfire crises.

IPA Director of communications Evan Mulholland told Sky News the prime minister was “right in saying that he is not going to do more than what is required at the expense of regional communities”.
