My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Brandis. It has been five months since the Prime Minister promised the world at the Paris climate conference that Australia would do our fair share to tackle dangerous global warming. Since then we have seen the worst ever coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. We have seen fires burning in parts of Tasmania's ancient forests that have not burned for centuries, and we have seen pollution continue to rise. When will you admit that Mr Tony Abbott's pollution targets are ridiculously weak?
