My question is to the Minister representing the Treasurer, Senator Sherry. Minister, given that at last year’s G20 leaders meeting in Pittsburgh the Prime Minister committed to phase out subsidies to fossil fuels as a critical part of efforts to tackle climate change, and undertook by the next leaders meeting in Toronto—which is in nine days time—to set out the implementation plans for the phase-out, has the Australian government prepared a time line and implementation plans to phase out fossil fuel subsidies to meet this commitment? If so, what are those plans and when will they be released?
