Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (15:57): I move: That the Senate— (a) notes with concern that the current wildfires in California are the deadliest and most destructive cluster of fires in California's history; (b) expresses sympathy for the loved ones of the more than 40 people who have died, and for the thousands who have lost their properties; (c) notes that extreme weather events, such as these fires, will become more frequent and more extreme as the climate changes; (d) further notes that in Australia, in 2009, 173 people died as a result of the Black Saturday bushfires and 980 people died in the lead-up to those fires; and (e) rejects claims by former Prime Minister, Mr Tony Abbott, that climate change is "probably doing good; or at least, more good than harm", and confirms that climate change will result in an increase worldwide in deaths from heat stress, malnutrition and extreme weather events.
