Statement

Reports that just five non-Pacific leaders are planning to attend the special Pre-COP leaders-level event in Tuvalu in October are embarrassing.

Chris Bowen specifically set up Tuvalu as a leaders-level event and now he’s desperately trying to pretend otherwise.

Chris Bowen should apologise to Pacific leaders for letting his unfettered ego cause them embarrassment.

Instead of spending millions on luxury hotels for politicians, bureaucrats and activists, Chris Bowen should be focused on delivering cheaper power bills back home.

Labor’s priorities are all wrong.
