Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In question time in the House of Representatives today, the Prime Minister has commented on the South Australian experience as the worst springtime heatwave on record. I again ask the minister: is her response that Australia can contribute to the necessary reduction in greenhouse gases by less than 25 to 40 per cent of 1990 levels by 2020 and contribute, in the way scientists require, to that outcome of avoiding catastrophic climate change?
