(—) (): [by video link] The Greens come in and pretend that they want us to take issues seriously and then feed up drivel like that. The reality is that we're going to Glasgow with some very strong messages. We'll go to Glasgow with the strong message that Australia, in terms of our Kyoto 1 target and our Kyoto 2 target, has met and exceeded those targets; that, unlike many countries in the world, when we've made a commitment, we've delivered upon it. We'll go to Kyoto with firm policies that we've outlined in terms of our investment in renewable energies, our investment in other technologies, but, crucially, the stretch goals that we've outlined that don't just talk about achieving net zero but talk about how to get to net zero—how to get to net zero through investment in hydrogen, how to get to net zero through investment in low emission steel and low emission aluminium and how to get to net zero through investment in soil carbon. We'll be going to Glasgow with very clear policies, very clear plans and a track record that, frankly, exceeds that of many of the other countries around the world. (Time expired)
