Senator WATT (Queensland—Minister for the Environment and Water) (14:16): Well, I can tell you what Australian farmers don't need. They don't need an alternative government that doesn't believe in climate change. They don't need an alternative government that says: 'We don't need to do anything about emissions. We don't need to worry about the fact that droughts are more likely, that floods are more likely and that cyclones are more likely and about impact on agriculture.' The PRESIDENT: Minister Watt, had you concluded? Are you sitting down? Senator Cadell. Senator Cadell: On direct relevance, this was solely about big system reforms and energy technology. The PRESIDENT: Thank you. I'll draw the minister back to the government's response. Senator WATT: Returning to the matter at hand, as I've said a number of times now—not just here today but also in the media on several occasions over the last couple of weeks—I'm not happy about how the BOM has handled this matter. We do have a new CEO in place who brings a very strong record in managing large, complex science based organisations. I have confidence that he will, as I have requested, get to the bottom of what has happened here to ensure that taxpayers' money is spent wisely, whether it be by this government or by former Turnbull government ministers when they signed off on these contracts in the first place.
