Senator MILNE (Tasmania—Leader of the Australian Greens) (14:28): Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I understand from the minister that it was the board of ARENA who said they were quite happy for the cut. So I now ask: given that there are no changes to the carbon permits during the next two years of the fixed-price period, why have you reduced funding to the Low Carbon Communities program to the tune of $66 million, denying councils and low-income households energy efficiency and lower power bills? This is not to do with flexible pricing; the money is guaranteed for the next two years. Senator Ludwig: Mr President, I rise on a point of order. This is a question which should be directed to the resources portfolio. The energy efficiency initiative, which helps reduce the household energy bill, is within the resources portfolio. I make the point again that Senator Milne might want to consider when asking a question of the climate change portfolio whether it is a climate change question and not a resources question. The PRESIDENT: I understand the point that is being made. The minister responding is Senator Lundy. It is up to the government to respond to the question.
