Senator COX (Western Australia) (14:18): Two weeks ago the government opened up 47,000 square kilometres of Australia's oceans for gas and oil exploration. The science is overwhelmingly clear— The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Senator Cox, I don't want to interrupt you, but to which minister is your question directed? Senator COX: My question is to Minister Farrell representing the Minister for Resources. In order for us to avoid this climate disaster we simply can't open up any new fossil fuel or gas fields. What formula did the Minister for Resources apply in making the decision to ensure that the recent announcement didn't contravene the government's own 43 per cent emissions reduction target and Australia's commitments under the Paris Agreement?
