My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Abetz. Is the minister aware that the President of Kiribati, in anticipation of his country being submerged by rising sea levels and storm surges due to climate change, has purchased land in Fiji for $8.7 million to relocate his people to avoid a humanitarian crisis? If the Prime Minister is aware of that, how does the government justify its five per cent emissions reduction target and its refusal to commit climate finance under its UNFCCC obligations to the small island states as they are displaced now?
