Why is ‘threatens its existence’ in quotes?

I mean, I know why. I disagree that it’s okay. Hedging like this is why we’re in this situation. It’s directly damaging.

Because it’s a direct quote?

Yes because they’re too scared to, or otherwise prevented / forbidden / directed not to, say it themselves.

Congratulations on finding the big secret reason, “because it’s a direct quote”. Also - fun fact - it’s not quoted in the article. Search for it.

“Its very existence is threatened. I believe developed nations have a responsibility to provide assistance and that is precisely what we are doing.”

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a new pact with the low-lying island country of Tuvalu, allowing residents facing displacement from climate change the ability to resettle in Australia.

The agreement comes as Tuvalu’s viability is threatened by rising sea levels as climate change escalates, with the country flagging a potential move into the digital world.

“It’s not just a milestone but a giant leap forward in our joint mission to ensure regional stability, sustainability and prosperity,” he said.

Anna Powles, a Pacific expert and senior lecturer in defence and security at Massey University, told the ABC the agreement happened “at speed and under immense secrecy”.

She said the treaty would provide a model that some smaller Pacific countries also threatened by climate change, such as Nauru and Kiribati, may be encouraged to consider.

Australia’s role in the region, and the fact it continues to expand its coal and gas industries as the world approaches a climate tipping point, was seen as motivation by some Pacific watchers for Mr Albanese to come armed with climate-focused announcements, such as the Tuvalu agreement.
