QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WATERS (Queensland—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:23): The catastrophic flooding that occurred in Nepal was triggered by a glacier collapse driven by the climate crisis. Yet on his recent trip to the Pacific, the Prime Minister was asked about the role of climate change in the Nepal disaster and he said 'now is not the time'. My question is: if now is not the time, when is a good time to talk about the fact that Australia is fuelling disasters like this by being the world's second-largest fossil fuel exporter?
