Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and Minister for Emergency Management) (15:22): Of course, the Albanese government are tackling the root cause of increasing extreme weather—climate change—by legislating much more ambitious emission reduction targets than we saw previously and doubling our renewable energy projects, because, unlike those opposite, we accept the science of climate change. This week I met with bushfire survivors— Senator Rennick: Explain it to me. The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator WATT: It's really sad that in 2023 there are some members of the opposition who still don't accept the science of climate change, but there they are. Even when we're talking about bushfires you reject the science of climate change. Senator Rennick: That's the weather. Senator WATT: Unbelievable. This is the man who was supported in his preselection by the opposition leader, Peter Dutton. The PRESIDENT: Senator Watt, I remind you to direct your answers to the chair and invite you to finish. Senator Canavan: How are you going to stop it? Senator WATT: Unbelievable. And now Senator Canavan is chiming in about the science of climate change when we're talking about bushfires. This week I met with Bushfire Survivors for Climate Action—people who lost their homes and their properties from climate change induced bushfires. It's a real shame that more of you don't take the effort to do it. (Time expired)
