My question is to the Minister for Resources, and it's on behalf of three young Pacific leaders I met this week. They know, as the science says, that we need to phase out coal and gas mining to save their homelands from the climate crisis. You've said that it's up to the market, but this week the market said it's planning for 12 coalmines in Queensland past 205, with two still operating in 2099. Do you still say that the future of coal and gas should be left to the market?
