My question is to Senator Brandis, the Minister representing the Prime Minister. Yesterday the minister told the Senate:

… what the Turnbull government is committed to doing is to put the climate wars behind us …

Reports today revealed that approximately 30 coalition MPs fought against support for the Finkel review in yesterday's coalition party room, with 10 MPs vehemently opposed to a push away from coal-fired power and about 20 MPs expressing serious misgivings. Isn't it clear that the climate wars the minister referred to are in fact being waged within the coalition party room?
