I move:

That the Senate take note of the answer given by the Minister for International Development and the Pacific (Senator Seselja) to a question without notice asked by Senator Hanson-Young today relating to climate change.

Clearly, Senator Seselja was not across his brief today. I asked a question about his government's energy policy. He couldn't answer it, and, instead of trying his best, he turned around and decided to accuse me of being angry. This sums up this government and the Morrison men in this government—sexist, patronising and not across their brief. Look, mate, it's not my fault if you don't have the answers to the questions you're being asked. It's question time. Come here briefed; be prepared to answer. Women in this country are all sick and tired of the sexist, patronising dismissal of men like you in suits.

Question agreed to.
