Speaking about Science Minister Karen Andrews’ open call for taking action against global warming rather than discussing whether its real or not draws praise from Levent Efe


Commentator Levent Efe, speaking to SBS Turkish, said that at a time when the senior members of the Liberal Party/Nationals coalition continue to deny global warming is real, Science Minister Karen Andrews needed to be supported for her statements on bushfires and global warming.

The government’s performance in combating bushfires is abysmal, said Efe, adding that it continues to fail to take on the coal lobby. He also said one major reason behind the failure to initiate national policies was the ambiguity on where federal authority begins and where state authority ends.
