Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Finance, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:13): The Prime Minister has made clear the government's position. I am confident the government's position in relation to supporting investment in driving towards net zero and seeking to achieve that as quickly as is possible and practical was not applying taxes, like those opposite would, but instead investing in the technologies that are necessary to get those outcomes remains indeed the position. I note the new Leader of The Nationals was asked about this very matter in his press conference just immediately prior to question time. Mr Joyce made clear that he would be consulting with his party room, having discussions with the Prime Minister. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! On my left. Senator BIRMINGHAM: But I assure the Senate and Senator Keneally as well, the government has made clear and the Prime Minister has made clear, Australia's position, in international discussions to the Australian people, that remains the position.
