Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The carbon tracker report presented to the UN climate summit today—which the Prime Minister is not attending—finds that peak thermal goal demand in China could come as soon as 2016. The report showed that the Galilee Basin megamines, railways and coal ports are economically unviable under a low demand coal scenario. Why is the government allowing Australia to be saddled with what will become huge stranded assets?
