An Eventful Trip to Fiji

The Labor Government has been campaigning for Australia to host COP31, the UN climate conference, in partnership with a Pacific Island nation. But Pacific Islanders have several concerns, mainly due to Australia's track record with new fossil fuels, and lacklustre climate policy.

This was recorded on Wednesday 30th August 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
