Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:23): The government agrees that we need urgent action. It is a pity that this country has spent nearly a decade fighting the climate wars, which have both come at the cost of jobs and opportunities here in Australia but also meant we have not been part of the solution when it comes to global action on the climate. In that context, I am disappointed to see some commentary from the Greens Party that the climate wars aren't over. What I would say to you is that I think Australians have made it clear they actually want a way forward. They want solutions. Whether it's those opposite or, on occasion, those at this end of the chamber, they seem to be more interested in the political benefits of conflict. The PRESIDENT: Sorry, Senator Faruqi. You weren't in my line of sight. Is it a point of order? Senator Faruqi: That's all right. I want to go to relevance. More than half the time has expired. I had a very specific question about whether the government would commit to joining the global pledge to cut methane emissions. The PRESIDENT: Senator Faruqi, the minister's entitled to take into account the preamble and the question, and you did have a broad preamble. I do believe that the minister is being relevant. Senator WONG: Thank you. There was quite a long preamble, to which I think I am entitled to respond. I think we have made public our consideration of the methane issue that you have raised. But I would make the broader point that what we can do is make sure that we get over the climate wars we've seen over the last 10 years. (Time expired)
