Senator SESELJA (Australian Capital Territory—Minister for International Development and the Pacific) (14:42): I thank Senator Lambie for her question. There is no doubt that the Australian government takes the issue of climate change and emissions reduction very seriously, and I'm pleased that Senator Lambie is calling for action. I can take Senator Lambie and the Senate through some of the measures that we actually are taking which demonstrate how seriously we take this issue. When Australia makes commitments to reduce emissions, unlike perhaps some other nations, we take those very seriously and we deliver on those commitments. It's not just making a commitment; it is about delivering it. Between 2005 and 2020, we reduced our emissions by 20 per cent. If we look around the world, there are many countries in the OECD—in fact the average is about nine per cent, so we're about double the emissions reductions of advanced economies. If you look at the G20, about half of G20 economies have seen their emissions increase during that period. So we take that very seriously. We take seriously our investment in renewables, which, in relation to solar, is at the highest levels in the world on a per capita basis, much higher on a per capita basis than other countries. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator SESELJA: I hear the interjections from the Greens senators there—always making a constructive contribution on behalf of their activist arm that we saw outside parliament, vandalising this place today. But, unlike the Greens, we actually believe that when you take these measures you need to do them in an economically responsible way. An honourable senator interjecting— Senator SESELJA: I do. One of the other areas we are supporting is climate resilience in the Pacific. We are doing that through significant investments of hundreds of millions of dollars. If we were to take the Greens' advice and destroy our economy tomorrow on the altar of their climate goals, we wouldn't be able to support our Pacific partners. So we're doing our bit. We're working with international partners to lower emissions to see more investment in renewables, but we'll do it in a way that is sustainable for our economy and jobs as well. The PRESIDENT: Senator Lambie, a supplementary question?
