My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Today, Minister, 117 bushfires are burning across the country, 100 per cent of the state of New South Wales is officially in drought and climate change is baking the Murray-Darling and the Great Barrier Reef. Instead of demonstrating genuine climate leadership, your government has caved in to the right wing of your own party room, abandoning emissions reductions and investment certainty. Your government shows no commitment to promoting clean energy, no commitment to reducing carbon emissions and no commitment to tackling climate change. When can we expect this government to stop knifing its leaders and get on with governing the country?
