Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:22): This government was elected with a plan to take strong action on climate, and that is what we will do. This party, over many years—over a decade—has had a very clear, ambitious and strong position on climate. And we have not just talked about it; we won government and we delivered action on climate. Regrettably, we lost government and it has been a number of years, nearly 10 years, not only of inaction but of denial and delay and dysfunction on that side of the parliament, and Australia is the poorer for it. I was asked about the 43 per cent target: we were clear with the Australian people before the election, and I would make the point that that is consistent with the net-zero-by-2050 position that we have also been committed to. It is the case—and I'll make two points about the Great Barrier Reef: the first is that— Senator Canavan: Record coal! Senator WONG: Senator Canavan! I will make two points about the Great Barrier Reef: firstly, obviously, climate is a risk to all our natural environment. We know that. We've been told that, and that is why we need to take the action we are taking and that is why we need to work as we did at the previous Conference of the Parties— Opposition senators interjecting— Senator WONG: I know that those opposite don't like to hear this. We need to work like Minister Bowen did at the Conference of the Parties to ensure that there is no backsliding on the Glasgow commitments, and that we maintain the ambitious position and continue to build on the position that was agreed in Glasgow. We also have a lot of work to do in our domestic economy, and the government is committed to doing so. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Whish-Wilson, your first supplementary question.
