Senator DI NATALE (Victoria—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:13): My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Minister, as climate change talks commenced in Bonn, a report released this week shows that global carbon emissions have risen in 2017 by two per cent on 2016 levels. It's a frightening development that threatens us and future generations. If that wasn't bad enough, diplomatic channels are now being used to try to secure funding for the jobs-destroying, reef-bleaching Adani project from China's National Development and Reform Commission. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Di Natale, I think you may have addressed your question to the wrong minister. Senator DI NATALE: It's coming. If you wait, you'd actually— The PRESIDENT: You addressed the question to Senator Cash, representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Senator Cash does not represent the minister for trade, I understand. Senator DI NATALE: Who's representing the minister for trade at the moment? The PRESIDENT: Senator Brandis. Would you commence the question again, so Senator Brandis can hear it. Senator DI NATALE: Apologies. My question is for the Attorney-General, representing the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment. Minister, climate change talks commenced in Bonn. We now know that global carbon emissions have risen in 2017 by two per cent. If that's not bad enough, the government's using diplomatic channels to try to secure funding for the jobs-destroying, reef-bleaching Adani project from China's National Development and Reform Commission. Did Mr Adani request that we seek funding from the Chinese government for that mine or was it done through the minister's own initiative?
