Thank you, Senator Wong, for your question. I support the Prime Minister pursuing a technology-not-taxes approach to lowering our emissions in this country. As a species, the human species, over eons, has progressed through the adoption of technologies. The National Party in the Senate has been very, very clear: when it came to clean energy financing, we moved amendments and tabled amendments that backed the low emissions technologies of carbon capture and storage. I really wish we could get Larissa Waters and her team onto how we actually can protect jobs while simultaneously lowering emissions, and that is through those types of technologies.
