Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Agriculture and Leader of The Nationals in the Senate) (14:16): I thank Senator Hanson-Young for her question. It seems that we're actually playing merry-go-rounds here. I've been very, very clear that Australian farmers, the Australian government, those of us who are involved in food and fibre production in this country, accept the science of climate change. That means that when we have the variabilities in the climate that we have right now—it's not unusual for Australia to be in drought. It's unusual for it to be as devastating as this one, but it's not unusual. So, to say that climate change, per se, in the present, has been responsible for all of the droughts that our country has been through over the last two centuries, and previously, is a long bow to draw. But if you're trying to somehow make out that I don't accept the science of climate change, if you search Hansard or any of my public comments you'll be hard-pressed to find that data, because you won't. We accept the science of climate change. We've got a strong package of measures that we took to the federal election to address it, not just in my own portfolio of agriculture but in Angus Taylor's energy portfolio— The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young on a point of order. Senator Hanson-Young: The question was whether the minister accepts the science and acknowledges that there is a link between climate change and drought. I'd like an answer to that question. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: I do believe the minister is being relevant. She has 45 seconds to answer the question, with more detail if she chooses. Senator McKENZIE: I don't think I actually could have been clearer. So, why don't I talk about the Future Drought Fund and the $5 billion that we have put into that to actually assist farmers and communities, not today but over the coming years, to address climate change and address their resilience and the resilience of their businesses to the fact that we will be seeing droughts, heatwaves et cetera in this country? That's the reality. That's why we've actually put money—real money—on the table to assist communities and industry, going forward, to be more resilient in the face of climate change. The DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson-Young, a first supplementary question?
