Torres Strait Islanders “embarrassed” after Scott Morrison’s appearance at last month’s Pacific Islands Forum, request the PM visit their region to see the impacts of climate change.
Warraber man, Kabay Tamu will deliver the invitation to Australia’s delegation at the UN climate summit in New York next week.
“We’re urging the Prime Minister to visit our islands, meet our communities and see the climate crisis for himself,” said Mr Tamu.
In May, the group of four islands went to the UN Human Rights Committee to accuse the Morrison government of breaching their human rights because of inaction on climate change.
Mr Tamu also criticizes the prime minister for not attending the UN summit, sending Australia’s foreign minister instead.
