Scott Morrison ‘inclined’ to cancel India trip as bushfire crisis continues
Prime minister reverses position on visit where coal was expected to feature heavily, just hours after saying trip was ‘still the plan’
Just hours after saying it was “still the plan” to go to India later this month for trade and defence talks, Scott Morrison now says he is “inclined not to proceed” with the visit.
Australia’s coal exports were expected to feature heavily on the Indian trip agenda, but shortly after telling media he still planned on attending, depending on the fire conditions, Morrison reversed course and said he now did not believe he would go.
