Sky News host Rita Panahi ridicules Energy Minister Chris Bowen for funding $20,000 grants to COP31 attendees, arguing the minister is out of touch while Australians battle soaring living costs. “Chris Bowen has proved yet again how divorced he is from the real world,” Ms Panahi said. “While Australians struggle under cost-of-living pressures. Those chosen to join the Climate Change and Energy Minister in Turkey for the COP31 climate summit will receive a $20,000 grant to help cover their expenses. “Meanwhile, farmers out in regional Australia are feeling abandoned.”
