The Greens will be supporting this motion and we congratulate the NFF on taking action to help fight global heating. But, in addition to at least net zero carbon pollution by 2050, we need strong 2030 targets to tackle our climate crisis because at current rates we risk hitting 0.5 per cent warming by 2030. Yesterday Minister Littleproud said that when it comes to climate policy, ultimately someone's got to pay. Farmers are already paying for the coalition's climate failures. Australian farmers are already feeling the brunt of devastating heat, bushfires and droughts. They will be going bankrupt across the country if we have a gas led recovery and the government keeps propping up coal. The climate crisis is already costing farmers $1 billion a year. That's who is paying for the coalition's failure on climate policy.

Question agreed to.
