My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, representing the Prime Minister. US President Joe Biden has made climate action a priority. He has taken dramatic action against coal, oil and gas companies and supported clean energy and is preparing for a climate summit on 22 April. He has spoken to many heads of state, both close allies and rivals, but he hasn't yet spoken to the Australian Prime Minister. Why hasn't this call happened? Is Mr Morrison way down the call list because he's a climate laggard?
