My question is to the Acting Prime Minister. You have Australia on track to warm by over four degrees, running a scythe through our countryside. This is a death sentence for millions of Australians, including our farmers. Why are you doing everything in your power to make droughts and bushfires and extreme weather worse, ripping apart our country's social fabric? When will you listen to the Greens, the G7 and the International Energy Agency and start phasing out coal and gas? And when will you apologise to farmers for choosing coal over crops and for putting the lives and livelihoods of so many farmers at risk?
