My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment and leader of the government, Minister Birmingham. With Trump going and US President-elect Biden saying, 'Climate change poses an existential threat to our future, and we are running out of time to address it', Australia has more in common with petro-states like Saudi Arabia and Russia. Your targets have Australia on track for a catastrophic four degrees of warming. Will the government acknowledge that 2030 commitments are crucial and lift our targets at the upcoming Glasgow climate summit?
