My question is to Minister Wong. A recent report by Oxfam and ActionAid shows that Australia is funding just one-tenth of its fair share of global climate action. For one of the world's largest fossil fuel exporters and a wealthy colonial country which has contributed significantly to global climate change, this is pretty pathetic. Pacific Island people are on the front lines of the climate crisis despite contributing negligible amounts to global emissions. Recently Pacific elders visited parliament and once again called for Australia to do more and to take the lead on climate change. Minister, will the government commit to finally paying our fair share of climate finance, which has been assessed at $4 billion a year?
