Doctors for the Environment, Australia, constantly warn about the threats to health arising from climate change.

The Scott Morrison led Liberal National Party Government has promised $1 billion to protect Australia's Great Barrier Reef, but it is doing nothing about the root cause of damage to the reef, climate change.

Several stories consider that issue:

"Morrison government announces $1bn pledge for Great Barrier Reef over the next decade";

"$1 billion to be injected into Great Barrier Reef to stave off ‘in danger’ listing";

"Morrison promises extra $1 billion to save the Great Barrier Reef";
