Senator CASH (Western Australia—Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service, Minister for Employment and Minister for Women) (14:55): I can. As I said, today we are honoured to have in our presence some of the best and brightest in Australia, who are not just changing the lives of people in Australia; they are changing the lives of people in the world—not only people in the world but people who haven't even been born yet. What an absolutely amazing achievement, and all done through sheer, gruelling hard work and passion. Senator Kim Carr: Then why'd you cut the science budget by so much? Senator CASH: The Prime Minister's Prizes for Science are rigorously selected prestigious awards that, as I've stated— Senator Kim Carr: Why'd you cut the CRC projects? The PRESIDENT: Senator Carr! Senator CASH: publicly recognise and celebrate the contributions that our scientists, innovators and science teachers are making to Australia's social and economic wellbeing. The award, of course, is part of the 'inspiring a nation of scientists' initiative under the government's National Innovation and Science Agenda. I think what's so delightful about these prizes is that they really do give us the opportunity to recognise the brilliance that we have in Australia. (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Reynolds, a final supplementary question?
