I don't want to be the guy who talks down what is no doubt a very substantial contribution to public policy debate in Mr Klein's book. I haven't read it; it's a bit too 'pop culture in 2025' for me! I'm focused on the kind of reading that's focused upon the technological challenges that we should be focused upon, and delivering an industrial response for Australia that must be science led, that must tackle the challenges of energy and climate change—I was hoping for some energy questions from the coalition today, on this day of all days—and is focused on those challenges: water challenges, agriculture challenges, food sustainability and food security challenges, and defence challenges. The CSIRO are at the centre of that, and they will make changes to their priorities from time to time in the national interest. (Time expired)
