My question is to Minister McKenzie, representing the Minister for Natural Disasters and Emergency Management. Bushfire victims are suffering from the climate crisis. It's not just 11,000 global scientists telling us about the climate emergency we're in. Affected mayors, Rural Fire Service captains and bushfire survivors themselves are all being reported making the clear link between these intense bushfires and the climate crisis. Will you acknowledge this link? Or do you agree with the Nationals leader, Minister McCormack, that climate change is only the concern of 'raving inner-city lunatics'?
