Senator Di Natale, your question, although perhaps not technically a supplementary question, does give me the opportunity to explain to you all of the measures that the Australian government is taking in order to mitigate the effects of climate change. At the leaders event during the climate change talks, the Prime Minister announced that Australia will provide at least $1 billion to build climate change resilience and reduce emissions over the next five years.

As well, Australia was elected on 6 November—unanimously elected, I might say—as Co-Chair of the Green Climate Fund. As co-chair, Australia will play a key leadership role in the operation of the Green Climate Fund, with a focus on ensuring that it delivers results for our Pacific island neighbours. If you care to ask another supplementary, I will expand. (Time expired)
