00:00I think many Australians will find this report confronting.
00:02I don't think many Australians will be particularly surprised that climate
00:06challenges will have an impact on Australia.
00:10I would say to people, let's be clear-eyed about the challenges.
00:14Let's be realistic about the threats.
00:17But also, let's be optimistic about the future.
00:20Because if we take action, we can avoid the worst of the impacts.
00:24If we take action, we can create jobs and investment right across Australia.
00:28Many of the regions which have the most at stake are also the regions
00:31where we'll be creating a lot of jobs and investment in the pathway to net zero.
00:35Those areas that have powered Australia for so long have powered us for decades.
00:39The type of power will change, the type of industry will change,
00:42but the jobs and investment will continue.
00:45So we have to be realistic that, yes, there is a lot at stake for our country
00:50when it comes to climate action, and a lot of people in this building
00:53should reflect on that.
00:58who should be disappointed in buying our ability for our country.
