|Liberal MP Craig Kelly says his aim was to “explain the facts” over climate change and “defend” Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s response to Australia’s bushfire crisis in a recent interview with Piers Morgan on British television. Piers Morgan had told Liberal MP Craig Kelly to "wake up" on climate change during the interview undertaken on the Good Morning Britain television show.
Mr Kelly said the television hosts' intention was to “hijack” the “appalling” interview, saying neither Piers Morgan or Susanna Reid were willing to “listen to the facts”. "They wanted to bash the prime minister," he said. He also said he found it personally “offensive” to be labelled as a ‘climate denier’ during the interview.
