MINISTERIAL STATEMENTS

Senator SHOEBRIDGE (New South Wales) (19:08): I also, on behalf of my party, pass on our thoughts and concerns to our friends in the north. I was speaking to my colleagues in the Northern Territory, in Larrakia country, and it's been a pretty tough last few days for them. Of course, we all have an obligation to keep the climate safe for them.

I rise to take note of the minister's report and comments, and, on behalf of my colleague Senator Allman-Payne, I seek leave to continue my remarks later. Leave granted; debate adjourned.
