Penny Allman-Payne I move the Greens' amendment on sheet 3685: (1) Schedule 1, page 3 (after line 5), after item 1, insert: 1A At the end of Part 2 Add: 8A Prohibited financial assistance (1) Financial assistance must not be provided under this Act if it would: (a) directly finance the extraction of coal or natural gas; or (b) directly finance the construction of pipeline infrastructure primarily for the extraction of natural gas; or (c) directly finance the logging of native forests. (2) In this section: _native forest_ does not include a plantation. _plantation_ means an intensively managed stand of trees that is created by the regular placement of seedlings or seed. I will speak briefly. The Greens are not going to support this bill unless this amendment is successful, because we are of the view that public money should not be spent on coal and gas—on fossil fuels—and on native forest logging. Last year I went to the Great Northern Conference, and, at that conference, I heard from a vet who lives in Tennant Creek. She talked about the year that they'd experienced, a couple of years ago, where they had the number of hot days that they will continue to experience if the global temperature rises by more than 1.5 degrees. She talked about the impact that that warming had had on that community. That term—where they had day after day after day of extreme heat—became known as 'fight term' in the local school, because kids couldn't get cool, tempers flared and they had fight after fight after fight. The consequence of that, at the end of the year, was that there was a mass exodus of teachers from that community. In addition to the teachers leaving, other people then left because they were partners of those teachers. So they lost other critical workers in their town. The following year, they had temperatures that were high, and, again, it massively decimated their community. That community has not recovered from a summer of temperatures consistently warmer as a consequenc
