My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Former Liberal leader and member for Wentworth, John Hewson, has declared that voters in Wentworth:

… could register a substantial protest vote against the government or any other candidates that don’t understand the magnitude and urgency of the climate change challenge.

If the Liberal party doesn't stand up and argue the case on this, I think people should be encouraged to vote against them.

If even Dr Hewson doesn't think the Liberal government understands the magnitude and urgency of the climate change challenge, why should anyone in Wentworth?
