Senators McDowell, Horkan, Mulherin, Norris, James Reilly, and Marie-Louise O'Donnell in her comment on the natural environment, raised the issue of climate change and the publication of the Government's climate change plan yesterday. We are all looking for a cleaner, better environment, and it is a plan, as Senator Horkan indirectly said, for the ages. It is for the future, and we have to act. We all have to buy in. I agree completely with Senator Horkan that it is not about having a stick, but about incentivising, communicating, ensuring we learn from what went wrong, and planning for the future. I disagree with Senator Norris completely. He can shout and roar all he likes, but we need to have a modern, new city, which does not rely on cars or diesel-----
