My question is to the Prime Minister. The Glasgow summit is demanding the whole world lift its 2030 climate targets before it's too late to stop runaway global warming. You boast of meeting and beating your 2030 goals, but it's easy to beat a terrible target set by Tony Abbott. The US has lifted their 2030 targets. The UK has too, with a 68 per cent cut. Prime Minister, why won't you meet and beat the US and UK targets and do Australia's fair share, with a 75 per cent target, as determined by Australia's independent Climate Targets Panel? Or have you given up on keeping global warming below 1½ degrees, thus condemning regional Australia to extreme droughts, floods and sea level rises?
