CLIMATE scaremongering by the political class has come back to bite Australia, with the UN demanding billions more be spent “saving” an otherwise perfectly healthy Great Barrier Reef.

PRIME Minister Scott Morrison is sometimes unkindly labelled “Scotty from Marketing” in reference to his earlier career.
