My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Energy. If Adani, as reported, leaves Australia, 500 million Indians will go without lights and the world will suffer, as low-grade Indian coal and cheap technology belch eruptions of CO2. North Queensland, with the highest unemployment and crime rates, will lose Adani's $3 billion in exports—and the other Galilee mine's $6 billion—and 90,000 jobs. Minister, can you meet with the budgerigar leadership of Queensland and impose upon Galilee coal advanced ultracritical technology and superhybrid carbon capture gumtree plantations and initiate a government authority to build an Australian-owned, multi-user clean electric rail line?
