My question is to Minister McAllister, representing the Minister for the Environment and Water. Australia has committed to achieving net zero by 2050, but it has no 2035 climate target. We are not on track, due to our emissions, which have increased under this Labor government. Australia has been ravaged by floods, fire and extreme heat. At the same time, Australia is destroying irreplaceable tangible and intangible cultural heritage—all in the name of the bottom line for projects like Woodside's North West Shelf project. Labor has approved 30 new climate-wrecking coal and gas projects—30, in fact! There is an impending World Heritage application for Murujuga on the Burrup Peninsula. Why is this government speaking out of both sides of its mouth, protecting the environment whilst allowing emissions at the Woodside gas plant to accelerate and destroy the precious rock art at Murujuga?
