I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House of Representatives supports a legislative target of net zero emissions by 2050.

Leave not granted.

I move:

That so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition moving the following motion forthwith:

That the House of Representatives supports a legislative target of net zero emissions by 2050.

This government is frozen in time while the world warms around it. The whole world is gathering in Glasgow, and this lot can't even come up with a policy.
