I suspect Senator Hanson-Young was talking to a rather select group of individuals when she was in Glasgow. That's my suspicion. And the group Senator Hanson-Young was hanging out with probably had some predetermined prejudices in their thinking—apparently even a prejudice against a fine, significant South Australian company like Santos, which Senator Hanson-Young chose to sledge on the way through in her question.

What Australia highlighted was not just our overachievement in terms emissions reductions but our commitments and plans for the future: the commitment to work towards net zero by 2050, underpinned by government investment of more than $21 billion in low-emissions technologies over the decade to 2030. This will help to secure more than $80 billion in total investment by leveraging other private sector capital and investment that is going to help achieve the types of emissions reductions through technological breakthroughs that have got us so far in achieving more than 20 per cent reductions to date and will help to achieve the further challenges we face.
