I can only repeat: we will continue to spend about $83 million a year on climate change mitigation, adaptation and research. The excellent climate science of CSIRO has provided guidance to government and industry across a range of climate change sciences. Its collaborative work on global and national measurement and modelling of the climate has been outstanding. We are continuing to be committed to research on climate and climate modelling and we have provided $23.9 million over six years to establish the Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub under the National Environmental Sciences Program.
