Minister Hunt is totally focused on and totally committed to delivering all of the policy commitments that we took to the last election. I am not going to get into the ins and outs of conversations that have taken place as we finalise our approach to the G20 next year, which is going to be a very important opportunity for Australia to provide economic leadership to the world.

I can reassure Senator Milne about the approach that this government is going to take to the challenges in relation to climate change. We will take effective action on climate change. We will take action on climate change in a way that is environmentally effective and economically responsible, that does not hurt families, pensioners, workers and businesses across Australia and that does not undermine economic growth across Australia, because that was the approach by Labor and the Greens that was rejected by the Australian people.
