The government knows that the Greens are unwilling to accept that Australia is taking action to address climate change. We have delivered on our election commitment to scrap Labor's carbon tax, delivering the largest reduction in household electricity prices on record. We are also delivering on our election commitment to establish the Emissions Reduction Fund with $2.55 billion available in the 2014 budget. The Emissions Reduction Fund will support practical projects to reduce emissions without pushing up prices. This includes more than 170 existing projects across farming, waste and revegetation. These are the sorts of projects that the Greens should be supporting.

We are also playing our part in an effective international response to climate change through direct action, international engagement and our aid program.

Question agreed to.
