My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water. The Greens have offered to pass your government's climate legislation in full with one amendment—no new coal and gas mines. There's no ultimatum, just an offer to pass Labor's bill this afternoon if you stop opening coal and gas mines. But this morning you said on Sky TV that of course you would approve new coalmines. Are you seriously willing to dump your whole climate plan because Labor wants to open new coal and gas mines?
