My question is to Senator Cormann, representing the Prime Minister. Yesterday the Prime Minister used his role of leader of this country to bag out young people, to criticise the thousands of young people who will be going on strike to call for urgent climate action. He said among other things that these issues can be dealt with outside of school. If the Prime Minister really takes climate change seriously, why did he so patronisingly dismiss the very real concerns of those who will live with the effect of climate change the longest?
