Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 10/02/2020

The matter for discussion in this video, as proposed by Senator Rachel Siewert, was:

"There is a clear link between the burning of fossil fuels and worsening bushfires, and the Government must put in place a plan to eliminate climate pollution, including a phase out of thermal coal mining."
