Scotty From Marketing "Inclined Not To Proceed" W. India Trip Designed To Promote More Coal Exports
Just hours after saying it was “still the plan” to go to India later this month for trade and defence talks, Scott Morrison now says he is “inclined not to proceed” with the visit. Australia’s coal exports were expected to feature heavily on the Indian trip agenda, but shortly after telling media he still planned on attending, depending on the fire conditions, Morrison reversed course and said he now did not believe he would go.
EDIT
The government has often pointed to the 1.3% of global carbon emissions Australia is responsible for, when answering criticisms over its climate policies. A report by the Australian Conservation Foundation, released mid last year, found Australia was responsible for at least 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, if the pollution from the nation’s fossil fuel exports was included.
Once the pollution from proposed projects was factored in, which included the Adani mine, that number had the potential to jump to 17% by 2030.
EDIT
The Labor leader, Anthony Albanese, who has also been supportive of Australia’s coal industry, said the decision of whether to go to India or not was one for the prime minister. 
“Yes, Australia’s had natural disasters in the past. We haven’t, in my lifetime, had people on beaches waiting to be evacuated in life jackets, sending boats out to sea like it’s a peacetime version of something that we have seen during wartime. We have not seen that.
