My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Minister, as climate change talks commenced in Bonn, a report released this week shows that global carbon emissions have risen in 2017 by two per cent on 2016 levels. It's a frightening development that threatens us and future generations. If that wasn't bad enough, diplomatic channels are now being used to try to secure funding for the jobs-destroying, reef-bleaching Adani project from China's National Development and Reform Commission.
