Apologies. My question is for the Attorney-General, representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Minister, climate change talks commenced in Bonn. We now know that global carbon emissions have risen in 2017 by two per cent. If that's not bad enough, the government's using diplomatic channels to try to secure funding for the jobs-destroying, reef-bleaching Adani project from China's National Development and Reform Commission. Did Mr Adani request that we seek funding from the Chinese government for that mine or was it done through the minister's own initiative?
