Truth and facts matter. We are not meeting and beating our emissions—

No. The member for Warringah will resume her seat. This is question time. You have to say at the outset who the question is directed to.

To the Prime Minister. I'm sorry, Mr Speaker.

Well, you need to say that. I'll let you start again and we'll start the clock again.

To the Prime Minister: truth and facts matter. We are not meeting and beating our emissions. They've gone up by 0.7 per cent over the last four years. You've said you will not be pushed to stronger climate policy by Boris Johnson or President-elect Biden. The Australian Medical Association, the Australian Council of Social Services, the Australian Council of Trade Unions, the Planning Institute of Australia, the Property Council of Australia, the Business Council of Australia, the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Energy Council and over 100 other leading organisations and businesses have all signed up to support the private member's bill that I introduced this morning with a net to legislate net zero by 2050 with five-year emission reduction budgets. Over 70 per cent of our trading partners—will you debate it?

The member's time has expired, and I don't believe there was a question.
