We would still be the largest per capita polluter in the world after the implementation of those targets, if they can even be implemented. Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The Paris agreement will be signed this week. Yet, instead of strong action, Minister, your government has approved the Adani coalmine. Your government has overseen 100 climate science jobs axed from CSIRO and has cut $1.3 billion from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency. Do you understand that it is your policies that are cooking the Great Barrier Reef?
