Senator Siewert, I refer you to the incredibly eloquent answers that the Leader of the Government in the Senate gave every time a question on this was raised. The government are committed to achieving this as soon as possible, and that is why we have put in place the practical actions that we are taking to ensure that we respond to climate change, which, as I've said, is a global challenge for all countries, including Australia. Unfortunately, the difference between those of us on the government side of the chamber and those in the Australian Greens is that we are putting in place practical actions to ensure that we tackle climate change. You, for some reason, just don't seem to like the practical actions that we're putting in place, and yet to date the practical actions that we have put in place have been successful.
