Senator WATT (Queensland) (12:29): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator WATT: The opposition will be opposing this motion. We note the sentiments expressed by the Greens in paragraph (a) and in them thanking workers in the thermal coal mining operations and for noting that coal workers are not to blame for the climate emergency we are in. We can only take that as a concession from the Greens that they did totally the wrong thing by backing in a coal convoy during the federal election. This is their way of apologising to coal communities for demonising them in the way that they did during the election. However, Labor will be opposing this motion for the reasons that we've opposed so many motions from the Greens this week. Climate policy and the future of coal communities are far too important matters to be left to the Greens with their silly wedge motions that they come in here and move time after time. We know they've got the meme ready to go. We know they've got the email petitions ready to go. We're not going to be a part of this. We're for serious debate about climate change. We're for serious debate about the future of coal communities, not silly games from the Greens.
