Well said, Senator Hume. I think I outlined our next steps in terms of working to deliver on our long-term emissions reduction strategy. Our intention is to release that ahead of COP 26. Our intention is to release our updated forecasts ahead of COP 26, which are, as I said, expected to show a further improvement on Australia's 2030 position. Our budget included over $630 million worth of additional investment to support low-emissions technologies and partnerships—partnerships that we are securing with a range of international partners: with Germany, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Japan.

We share with the United States a resolute commitment to ambitious action on climate change. We want to be a partner of choice for the United States on climate and align our climate with broader objectives to strengthen economic integration and advance our shared interests in the Indo-Pacific. We're advancing practical, targeted collaboration with the United States across the broad climate agenda, including low-emissions technologies and supply chains. I've discussed with Secretary Kerry how Australia and the US can create practical momentum. (Time expired)
