Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:00): I thank Senator Cadell for the question and for his interest in this area, and I hope that his new-found enthusiasm for the Biden administration might extend to a renewed commitment to renewables, to a belief in climate change actually being something that we need to respond to and deal with, to a belief that an energy transition matters. There are a whole range of things that this administration is engaging in that your party room refused to engage in, refused to do, refused to support. In fact, for nearly a decade in government it ensured that there was no policy reform, no energy policy and no progress when it came to these issues, all because some people over there didn't believe that climate change was a thing. Senator Watt: They still don't. Senator WONG: They still don't. But I do thank him for his question about the vehicle emissions standards. I would note that the vehicle efficiency standards response from those opposite appears to be an argument that people shouldn't be able to buy cars that might cost them less to run in terms of fuel. That seems to be the approach from those opposite: 'Let's make sure we require Australians to purchase vehicles that the rest of the world doesn't want to buy and that will cost them more to run because they'll have to use more fuel.' That appears to be the policy proposition from those opposite. They vote against energy caps and price assistance as well. In answer to the question, Senator Cadell, we are very aware of the Biden administration's policy in this area. That, along with the consultation, will be examined very closely. The PRESIDENT: Senator Cadell, first supplementary?
