My question is to the Minister for Resources. The UN Secretary-General, the world's scientists and the International Energy Agency all say that no new coal or gas projects can proceed if we are to meet climate goals. But the Labor government's first emissions projections names seven new giant gas projects that you will open up before 2030, including Beetaloo, Scarborough, Narrabri and Browse. In a time of climate crisis, why is Labor opening new coal and gas mines under its Safeguard Mechanism?
