Referring to paragraph (a)(i), today is day 36 since I challenged the Greens leader, Senator Di Natale, to a debate on climate science and on the corruption of climate science. He has failed to respond. It is day 36 since I challenged Senator Di Natale to provide the empirical scientific data showing that carbon dioxide from human activity affects climate and needs to be cut. Again, he has failed to respond. There is no scientific justification for paragraphs (a)(i), (ii) and (iii). Indeed, empirical scientific data proves that the claims are false. All three are false, and we cannot support his motion. His three claims are false, false, false. The Greens replace ecology with ideology—socialism. One Nation is committed to restoring Australia's productive capacity. This includes providing all Australians with low-cost electricity to drive growth. Coal does that, and our country, including Tasmania, has many clean coal deposits. Tasmanians have the right to access affordable, reliable, environmentally responsible hydrocarbon fuels.
