Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Assistant Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (17:10): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RUSTON: The Australian government is committed to working more closely than ever with Pacific states on their issues of greatest concern, which include climate solutions and disaster resilience. We will keep the international commitments we have made, including our pledge of $300 million in climate assistance to the Pacific. Australia will not provide further funding to the UN Green Climate Fund, because we believe we can deliver more effective results for our region by working with our neighbours in the Pacific on climate solutions. The Green Climate Fund is not projected to spend US$100 billion per year by 2020. This figure is the total global commitment to climate finance from all sources, including governments and the private sector. The PRESIDENT: The question is that the motion moved by Senate Bernardi be agreed to.
