My question as to the Deputy Prime Minister, and I refer to his previous answers, such that they were. How can Australians trust this government to deliver on net zero by 2050 when you will be acting Prime Minister in two days and you are opposed to it?

Today is Tuesday, isn't it? Wednesday, Thursday, Friday—it will be Thursday evening that the Prime Minister leaves. No-one is suggesting that we are going to get there by the end of the week. No-one is suggesting that. By the way, the biggest thing, of course, is that people clearly understand that, in my role as Leader of the Nationals, I'm making absolutely certain that we don't legislate the coalminers out of a job.
