My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, if exporting pollution were an Olympic sport, you'd be on the podium with a medal around your neck. We're not some 1.3 per cent minnow; we're the world's third-largest exporter of climate pollution. Will you apologise for misleading the public by saying that nothing we would do would make a difference to the climate crisis and catastrophic bushfires? Given that you are so clearly failing in government's first duty, which is to protect its people, will you have the courage to apologise to the victims of the bushfires for exporting record amounts of thermal coal?
