My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Senator Wong. The Bureau of Meteorology have today released the State of the climate 2022 report. Unsurprisingly, it finds that the climate systems that touch on every aspect of our lives and our environment are changing before our very eyes. Our country has already warmed by 1.47 degrees. Fires, floods and cyclones are more intense. Extracting and burning coal and gas is the biggest cause of the climate crisis. Minister, do you support Australia's coal and gas export industry expanding?
