QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (14:21): Minister, you are minister for the environment and are no doubt aware our oceans are at record temperatures and the outlook for this El Nino is very concerning. This is likely to have severe consequences for coral reefs and other marine habitat around our nation. Murray, you're a decent human being.

What legacy do you want to leave as our environment minister—that you protected our oceans for future generations or that you sacrificed the environment to protect fossil fuel giant Woodside's profits?
