Thank you, Mr President. I note Liberal senators deride the AiG. And they ask for what ACCI said. What did the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry say? I do have that. Mr Greg Evans, who was then the acting chief executive, said:

We support the take-up of the skills and technologies required to promote environmentally sustainable business practices where there is a market requirement …

This is ACCI. They continue:

In an economy with greater environmental awareness it will be necessary to meet this demand, including helping to develop appropriate skills.

So that is what ACCI have said. ACCI are taking up the challenge. It is just the Liberal Party and the National Party that are not taking up the challenge of climate change. (Time expired)
