Marie Louise O'Donnell: I welcome the Minister of State. We will wait until he is ready to listen. The first people I congratulate are the deaf community. I am limping because I fell down the stairs.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: However, I must give glory where glory is due to Senator Mark Daly for platforming this, running with it, continuing with it and bringing it to the House today - and what a House.

Marie Louise O'Donnell: Most of what I have heard in here has been quite spurious up to now. It is an interesting point because climate change is an enormous issue. Protection and preservation, and the knowledge of how to protect and preserve our environment are tantamount because without our environment, none of us will be here.
