My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Cormann. Given that the 2010Intergenerational report stated that as we move towards 2050 climate change 'represents one of the most significant challenges to our economic sustainability' and given that the dollar-cost impacts of extreme weather events in the last five years have been considerable, why is there no acknowledged or costed impact of global warming on economic sustainability out to 2055 in the Intergenerational report?
