We're obviously entering into a different portfolio now. It's really a matter for the finance minister representing the Treasurer. But what I will say as a member of the government is that this government is very proud of the fact that we have taken more action and delivered more investment in the renewable transition than any government in Australia's history. We are the first government to set an ambitious interim target by 2030, and we will have a more ambitious target still when it comes to 2035. We are investing enormous amounts of money in renewables. We have also taken a whole range of other measures to tackle climate change. We are party to international treaties.

The thing that distinguishes the Labor Party from the Greens party on these matters is that we are not just a party of protest; we are a party of progress. We are a party that actually comes to parliament to deliver real reform rather than grandstanding and protesting and achieving absolutely nothing. We make no apologies for making progress on tackling climate change, and we will make a lot more over the course of this term. (Time expired)
