Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister confirm that the Minister for the Environment spent $660 million to buy just 15 per cent of the required abatement to meet Australia's 2020 emissions reduction target? How much more taxpayers' money will be doled out to the big polluters under the coalition's so-called Direct Action Plan—a polluter's pot of gold—to fund the government's new weak emissions target?
