Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:39): Really, I thought I had heard everything. To hear you, of all people, crying crocodile tears about jobs in regional Australia when you have, over the last two years, led a campaign in this chamber to close down—or prevent the development, I should say—of the Adani coalmine in central Queensland, the greatest and largest prospective source of employment in central Queensland, a region— The PRESIDENT: Pause the clock.

It is the case that, as part of its budget repair, the government plans to realise $1.3 billion in savings from ARENA. But I might point out to you that ARENA will continue to administer and fund its existing portfolio of 252 funded projects, and to jointly manage the $1 billion Clean Energy Innovation Fund with the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. So far ARENA has provided— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Waters on a supplementary question.
