My question is to the Leader of the Government, representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. Today, the climate change minister delivered the Annual climate change statement2023. But what was not mentioned in that speech was the uncomfortable fact that the emissions figures released today show that, in the last 12 months under your government, national emissions have gone up by 3.6 million tonnes. Why are you still continuing to open up new coal and gas mines?
