Liberal Councillor Edward Mandla said it was right for Sydney to help with the devastating bush fires but that was where her speech should have stopped.
"Instead, more than half of the minute is a shameful political statement on climate change and global warming," he said.
"Many would never blame global warming or climate change. And many are rightly upset over back burning that gets blocked by the green movement. Lord Mayor you have insulted so many Australians with your Green mumbo jumbo in this minute - none of which would have stopped the fires."
