Senator RUSTON (South Australia—Assistant Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (16:31): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator RUSTON: This judgement is an issue for the New South Wales government and is still subject to appeal. Previous court decisions have reached contrary conclusions to this judgement. Climate change is a global-wide economic issue; it won't be tackled by case-by-case scrutiny of individual mining projects. The government remains committed to the Paris agreement and to meeting its 2030 target to reduce emissions to 26 to 28 per cent below 2005 levels. The Morrison government has a comprehensive set of programs and policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase energy efficiency.
