Wasn't that a great example of the focus of those opposite on themselves rather than on the people they should be looking after, the real Australians who need our help! The Albanese Labor government is leading the world in areas that are going to build the futures of young Australians: on international trade, on energy, on keeping our young people safe online. Those opposite can't even figure out how to lead themselves.

On this side of the House, we know how to work with partners around the world to achieve real outcomes for Australians, like those in my electorate of Hughes. In our critical mineral framework with the United States we are positioning Australia to benefit from the transition the global economy is going through as countries around the world move towards net zero. On social media we are taking action to protect our young people and our next generation from its harms—reforms that are now being envied and emulated around the world. With the G20 we have strengthened our commitment to the Paris Agreement and international trade while those opposite talk down our place on the national stage. On energy we are leading the world with the presidency of the COP. While those opposite don't believe in climate action, the rest of the world and the business community and this side of the House do. The world is with us on our plans for cheaper renewable energy and international trade to reduce the cost of living for Australians. Those opposite need to take the message that Australians are giving them and join the world in the 21st century.
