In 2013-14, funding fell by $329.3 million compared to the previous financial year. I find it remarkable that a former science minister has the gall to stand up here and talk about budgets and funding.
Through you, Mr President: Senator Carr, you are undoubtedly the worst science minister this nation has ever had. You have overseen a dramatic reduction in funding for science and, quite frankly, we have no intention of getting lectured by you in relation to these matters.
