House debates Matters of Public Importance
Climate Change
David Hawker Speaker
I have received a letter from the honourable member for Grayndler proposing that a definite matter of public importance be submitted to the House for discussion, namely:
The need for strong Government leadership to address the real and present threat posed to Australia’s economy and environment by dangerous climate change.
I call upon those members who approve of the proposed discussion to rise in their places.
More than the number of members required by the standing orders having risen in their places—
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Manager of Opposition Business in the House
4:28 pm
Tony Abbott Warringah, Liberal Party, Leader of the House
4:29 pm
I move:
That the business of the day be called on.
Question agreed to.
