Debate: BILLS
Subdebate: Environment Protection (Sea Dumping) Amendment (Using New Technologies to Fight Climate Change) Bill 2023

Senator HANSON ( Queensland — Leader of Pauline Hanson's One Nation ) ( 13:03 ): Sorry, the bill proposes to establish a regulatory system, okay? It's about enabling carbon dioxide to be pumped into the Australian seabed, and it's known as carbon capture and storage. A lot of Australians wouldn't even know, and I didn't even know, about that. I would like an explanation of what this bill is actually going to do. How do you pump carbon dioxide into the Australian seabed? What is the regulatory system that enables this? You've got the bill there and you stated that it's a regulatory system—please just explain.
