My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. In the lead-up to the Paris Climate Change Conference, which the Prime Minister has said 'must establish a durable platform for limiting global temperature rise to below two degrees', how will your government defend your approval of the Adani Carmichael coal mine, which would create 100 times more carbon pollution than your latest direct action option has abated and which alone will generate more pollution than the entire European Union in one year?
