Mr CHEESEMAN (Corangamite) (17:33): There has been plenty of scientific evidence to show that a one metre rise in the sea level will have a very substantial impact on many parts of the Australian coastline. Many parts of the Bellarine Peninsula within the Geelong community will be substantially impacted. Parliamentary Secretary, what will the impact be on the Australian economy if we do not reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, with sea level rise likely to inundate not only many parts of the Geelong area but also many other parts of the Australian coastline?
