PLIBERSEK (—) (): No, I'll apply Australian law, as it exists. As the Greens political party would well know, because they made an agreement with the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, emissions in Australia are governed predominantly by the safeguard mechanism that you helped design and that you negotiated with the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. You sat on this side of the parliament and voted for it.

The Greens party say they want no more coal and gas, but until recently they were happy to own shares in the banks that funded these projects.
