Climate Change

Motions

Mr ALBANESE (Grayndler—Leader of the Opposition) (15:11): I seek leave to move the following motion:

That the House:

(1) notes:

(a) after almost a decade in office, instead of delivering a climate change policy, the Prime Minister has today presented another glossy document with no new policy;

(b) the Prime Minister is refusing to release the Government's modelling of its net zero policy; and

(c) the Government can't be trusted to deliver action on climate change when the Deputy Prime Minister and most of the National Party members of Cabinet don't support net zero;

(2) therefore calls on the Prime Minister to end his secrecy and immediately release the modelling of his net zero policy; and

(3) supports legislating net zero by 2050.

Leave not granted.

Mr ALBANESE: I move:

That so much of the standing orders be suspended as would prevent the Leader of the Opposition from moving the following motion immediately— That the House:

(1) notes:

(a) after almost a decade in office, instead of delivering a climate change policy, the Prime Minister has today presented another glossy document with no new policy;

(b) the Prime Minister is refusing to release the Government's modelling of its net zero policy; and

(c) the Government can't be trusted to deliver action on climate change when the Deputy Prime Minister and most of the National Party members of Cabinet don't support net zero;

(2) therefore calls on the Prime Minister to end his secrecy and immediately release the modelling of his net zero policy; and

(3) supports legislating net zero by 2050.

The policy's on the never-never because they'll never, ever take climate change seriously. This is a government that won't—
