With the eyes of the world watching, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has hit out at the critics of his government’s climate change policies in his address to the United Nations in New York.


Mr Morrison insists Australia is doing its part to curb emissions, but experts are concerned his speech focused on the wrong environmental issues.

"Australia’s internal and global critics on climate change willingly overlook or ignore our achievements, as the facts simply don’t fit the narrative they wish to project about our contribution. Australia is responsible for just 1.3 per cent of global emissions. Australia is doing our bit on climate change and we reject any suggestion to the contrary," he said during his address to the United Nations.
