Now, Senator McKenzie, just because we care about the farmers across Australia doesn't mean we need to hear the interjections from the senator opposite.. Our government is working with farmers, not against them, to build a stronger, cleaner and more profitable future for Australian agriculture.

Table 1 includes $60.8 million to support emissions reduction efforts in agriculture and land, $87 million to establish the Zero Net Emissions Agriculture Cooperative Research Centre—
