My question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate, representing the Prime Minister. The IPCC report released this week was the 'code red for humanity'. We are on track to tip over 1.5 degrees of warming this decade unless we drastically change course. The Morrison government has nowhere left to hide. You've even been singled out by the US government for not lifting your targets. Will you lift Australia's 2030 targets or will you keep us in the sole company of petro states Russia and Saudi Arabia?
