My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that the Stern review warns of a possible 20 per cent loss in GDP, economic costs equivalent to both world wars and the Great Depression, the loss of such treasures as the Great Barrier Reef and potentially millions of refugees because of rising sea levels? Why does the Prime Minister have a plan for his future but no plan to protect future generations from the impact of climate change?
