My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, representing the Prime Minister. Minister, I refer you to a series of devastating natural disasters that have occurred in recent weeks, including flooding from monsoonal rains in South Asia and hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Katia and Jose that have caused untold damage, including the tragic loss of life in the Caribbean and North America. Minister, isn't your government's continued denial that there is a link between climate change and an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events putting people's lives in danger?
