" There's no doubt that climate change is a reality. It is a real risk to Australia. This is the first comprehensive report on just what those risks are and also where are the most vulnerable areas in Australia...We don't need more reports telling us that climate change is real, extremely worrying and needs to be tackled. We know that. What we want to hear from the government is what it's going to do about it. "
