Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. When our neighbours called out for help to tackle climate change, the government refused and then laughed about it. The President of Kiribati said:

It shows a sense of moral irresponsibility quite unbecoming of leadership in any capacity.

To say that our diplomatic relationships are being tested is an understatement. What is the minister or DFAT now doing to try to clean up the government's offensive diplomatic blunder?
