Yes. I will in future. Thank you. As well as lining up to vote with the Liberals and the Nationals against a credible pathway to net zero emissions, they're also shaping up to vote against more affordable housing. They're also shaping up to vote against the National Reconstruction Fund, and we know that voting against a national reconstruction fund is a vote against 'made in Australia'.

When the Greens and the Liberals voted together to stop the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme, we saw higher emissions for longer. I urge this parliament not to make the same mistake again, because we cannot afford another decade of inaction on carbon pollution. Our environment can't cope with that.
