My question is to the Minister for International Development and the Pacific, Senator Seselja. The climate impacts of your coal, oil and gas loving government are being felt first and foremost by nations who did nothing to create this crisis, including our Pacific neighbours, who are watching their children's future disappear under water. Yet, Australia has abjectly failed to deliver its share of climate finance, as committed to in the Copenhagen Accord.

A report by the Climate Action Network Australia released today has calculated Australia's fair share to be $3 billion over 2020-25 and $12 billion annually by 2030. Now that we know that Mr Morrison will show up at COP26, will he commit to increasing Australia's measly climate finance contribution to pay our fair share or will Australia remain an international outlier on climate?
