I will take that interjection from Senator Ciccone about the other mob doing a good job. It's the lowest of bars. Why are the Albanese government holding themselves up to the coalition's bar when it comes to climate action? Stop talking up such a big game and not delivering. To Mr Regenvanu I say: Australians want to support the Pacific. The majority of Australians want bolder climate action, yet what we have standing in the way is this kind of nonsense from major parties, this level of vested interest. Minister, how can we possibly be asking Pacific Island neighbours to trust us when we won't sign the Port Vila call for a just transition to a fossil fuel-free Pacific and when, in Mr Regenvanu's words, our actions don't line up with our rhetoric?
