Bureaucrats in Canberra want climate change to ‘drive foreign policy’

about 4 years in dailytelegraph

Sky News host Rowan Dean says the bureaucrats in Canberra want the main focus of Australia's foreign aid budget to revolve around climate change projects.

All 29 of Australian foreign aid deals and investment plans have either been concluded or are set to expire in July 2020.

Mr Dean said “Australians are incredibly generous” and “the fact that all these different aid deals are coming up for renewal is fantastic”.

“We have probably given more aid than we need to” in the past and the government needs “to look closely at where taxpayers money is going” in future deals, Mr Dean told Sky News Host Peta Credlin.
