Minister, I am particularly interested in the Climate Commission. I have read the report that has been brought down and met with some of those that were responsible for the report, and I also attended the event in the theatrette. I am particularly interested in what the ongoing role of the Climate Commission is; how the Climate Commission will be able to provide information to communities throughout Australia; how the Climate Commission will work on an ongoing basis; and the benefits that it will provide for communities throughout Australia. I am sure that other members in the House are as interested as I am.

Mr Chester interjecting—

We have the chair of the climate change, environment and heritage committee here with us, and he is a person that is, I know, very interested in this and has also met with members of the body that wrote the report. So, Minister, if you could tell the House how the Climate Commission works, what its role is and its benefits to Australians, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
