I am ready to move Australian Greens amendments (2) and (3) and I seek leave to move them together. But I do note that the Minister for Climate Change and Water had said—possibly prior to you coming to the chair, Mr Temporary Chairman Bishop—that she wished to take a few moments to respond to some matters that were raised last night. We had an informal agreement in the chamber that, before we move to discussion on my next amendments, the minister would respond to some of those matters.
Leave granted.
by leave—I move Australian Greens amendments (2) and (3) on sheet 5786:
(2) Clause 3, page 3 (lines 13 to 25), omit paragraphs (4)(a) and (b), substitute:
(a) to take action directed towards meeting Australia’s target of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to at least 25% to 40% below 1990 levels by 2020; and
(3) Clause 3, page 3 (line 26), omit “or (b)”.
I will now hand back to the minister to inform the Senate of the responses that she wanted to make.
