QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:24): What I would say to Australians and what I do say is we are committed to reducing our emissions. We are committed to transforming our economy. We are committed to ensuring that we transition one of the world's most carbon intensive economies to a much more low emission economy.

We recognise that that is a challenge, and we recognise that that is not something where you can simply flick a switch. It requires thoughtful and considered economic policy, environment policy and energy policy. What I would say to them is that we are committed to that.

Opposite us, we have people who still rail against renewable energy, and down there to our right we have people who are much more interested in outrage than outcomes, who think that policy is all about politics. (Time expired)
