Climate, not Greens, the threat: Di Natale
Greens Leader Richard Di Natale has hit back at Scott Morrison for suggesting his party is a greater threat to Australia than Clive Palmer.
The prime minister restated his view that the Greens are a greater threat to economic and national security than Mr Palmer's United Australia Party and Pauline Hanson's One Nation in a front page article in The Weekend Australian.
He also accused Labor of moving closer to the minor party's "extreme views".
Senator Di Natale said the report only shows how out of touch Mr Morrison is and why his government needs to be "turfed out" at the May 18 election.
"Scott Morrison has no plan for climate change and that is the greatest threat to our economy," the Greens leader said in statement on Saturday.
"His criticisms of the Greens are a smoke screen for his lack of climate action and preference deals with a coal tycoon and a party of racists."
