My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Two days of question time in a row and already the Prime Minister has been caught out again today not telling the truth in the parliament. This is very reminiscent of what happened when the Prime Minister went to Glasgow for COP26. On the back of being called out by the French President, Emmanuel Macron, the Prime Minister's word was mud. Business leaders, community leaders, delegates and negotiators all knew they couldn't trust what the Prime Minister would say. After signing the Glasgow pact, which requires Australia to make changes to keep temperature rises below 1.5 degrees, including phasing down coal, the Prime Minister came back to Australia and said he didn't need to change a thing. Is the Prime Minister fibbing to the world, to our children or to himself?
