The government extends its condolences to the victims of the current wildfires in California. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who have lost their loved ones, and our great admiration is with the firefighters, emergency workers and volunteers as they battle against the fires. Australia will continue to work with other countries to ensure we put in place best-practice approaches to resilience, mitigation and disaster relief responses to extreme weather events, including bushfires.

Question agreed to.
