My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Energy. At recent climate negotiations I attended in Bonn, it was reaffirmed that current commitments are not enough to meet the Paris Agreement goal of staying well below two degrees of warming. In fact, Australia's existing paltry 2030 target will contribute to over three degrees of warming. Even worse, under your government, Australia's pollution is going up and up and up. Minister, last year you started a climate change policy review which was to be completed by the end of this year. Will you release the results of this review before the end of the year? And will the new policy increase our pollution reduction commitments to help meet the Paris two-degree goal or, under your government, will we remain on track for over three degrees of warming?
