I have a question for the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Wong. I would like to know some of the details and would like the minister to advise the Senate about the ‘think climate, think change’ competition that schoolchildren have been participating in and that I think was launched in April this year. I would like the minister to advise the Senate why the Rudd government held this competition, what the significance of it is, how many children have been participating and what they have been up to. I have looked at some of the results online and they seem quite inspiring. Given the minister and the Deputy Prime Minister awarded prizes to the winners today, I would like the minister to highlight that to the Senate—because children’s participation in this issue is important—announce the winners of the competition and outline the details of the winning entries.
