Senate Matters of Urgency - Climate Change
Channel: Australian Parliament Fan
Date: 05/04/2022

The matter for urgency in this video, as proposed by Senator Janet Rice and moved by Senator Peter Whish-Wilson, was:

"The mining and burning of coal, oil and gas is the primary cause of global heating and is causing more frequent and more intense floods, heatwaves, fires; and that to protect lives and livelihoods, no new coal, oil and gas projects should be started in Australia."

This video was taken from the 29 March 2022 Senate sitting.
