QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms STEGGALL (Warringah) (14:48): My question is to the Prime Minister. Young people around the world want a say in the environment they will inherit. The ICJ has now affirmed that nations have a legal obligation to prevent climate harm, and our productivity and economy are being battered by successive climate fuelled events.

Despite this, the government's defining action so far is to recklessly accelerate warming by approving new gas extraction to 2070. This negates any other policy. A minimum target of 75 by '35 and methane abatement is urgently needed.

Will you be ambitious?
