To the Honourable President and members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:

The petition of the undersigned shows:

Australia is a nation of great abundance. Our progress is intertwined with the histories of our neighbours in the Pacific. We have benefited from their hospitality and have had access to their ecological resources. Australia is also responsible for the world's highest greenhouse gas emissions per capita at 18.75ppm per person while neighbouring Pacific Islands emit 0.06ppm per person.

Small island nations do not have the resources to counter the negative impacts of climate change, and look to nations like Australia for support.

Your petitioners request that the Senate support legislation:

by Senator Faulkner (from 8 citizens).
