My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the statement of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of 19 April that an aspirational target—and I quote:

… is code for a political stunt. An aspirational target is not a real target at all.

I also refer to the statement of the Minister for the Environment and Water Resources of 2 April, when he likened aspirational goals to—and I quote:

... New Year’s resolutions ... which we know we can’t meet.

Does the Prime Minister agree with the foreign minister and the environment minis-ter about the value of aspirational targets?
