Former British prime minister Theresa May has criticised Australia for not being proactive enough in combating climate change while visiting the nation for the first time.<\/p>

\u2026<\/p>

The MP for the UK constituency of Maidenhead branded as \u201cabsolutely wrong\u201d the recurring argument that countries must choose between tackling climate change or continuing to grow the economy.<\/p>

\u201cYou can do well by your economy and deal with climate. It just means you have to do business in a different way,\u201d Ms May told the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry lunch, where she spoke for an undisclosed fee.<\/p>

\u201cSome of the innovations we\u2019re seeing around climate change for the future, I think are hugely exciting.<\/p>

\u201cI know I\u2019m sitting here in Australia so I\u2019m bound to say this: I hope Australia is going to pick up this agenda of climate change rather more proactively than it has done up to now.\u201d<\/p>

Theresa May\u2019s comments are more than refuted by Britain\u2019s worsening green energy crisis<\/a>, and the humiliation of Britain turning to coal a few months ago to keep the lights on<\/a>, after all those billions of pounds worth of renewables failed to deliver during a Europe wide wind drought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But in my opinion Theresa May has never been someone who lets inconvenient facts get in the way of what she believes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\u00a0Theresa May<\/a>\u00a0was elected Prime Minister of Britain, there were hopes her reign would be a rerun of legendary Prime Minister\u00a0Margaret Thatcher<\/a>, that May might be someone who could lead Britain into a new economic renaissance. Sadly, the only resemblance between Theresa May and Margaret Thatcher were the hairstyle and the handbag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
