IE (—) (): I completely reject the many assumptions and presumptions that exist in Senator Keneally's question. As I've just said, the cabinet has not made a decision. The Prime Minister has been clear about that, as has the Deputy Prime Minister. They are making sure that the National Party have the chance, as an independent sovereign party, to make their own decision. We will go through the process that we have outlined.

As I've stated, though, this tacky, tawdry political game that you're choosing to play is because you don't have a plan. You're not standing up and saying what you think should be taken to Glasgow and what you think the 2030 targets should be, which is why the Greens chose to try and wedge you this morning. I just want to read from Paul Kelly's Triumph and Demise: the broken promise of a Labor generation. (Time expired)
