On behalf of Senator Hanson-Young, I move:
That the Senate—
(a) notes that, on 31 July 2019, offshore petroleum exploration acreage was released, containing 64 areas available for lease:
(i) this is largest number of areas released since 2000, with more than 120,000 square kilometres available, and
(ii) fossil fuels are the leading cause of climate change; and
(b) calls on the Federal Government to halt the development of any further fossil fuel basins.
