My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Energy. How many meetings of the National Security Committee of cabinet, which deals with important energy security issues, does the minister, who works part time, expect to miss while he's overseas at his full-time job as president of COP negotiations?
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Prime Minister
I'll take the question as the Chair of the National Security Committee. It's actually a breach of the law to talk about what happens at the National Security Committee.

Order! When the House comes to order—I know it's the last day, but we're going to get through this—I'd like to hear from the honourable member for Boothby.
