My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that CSIRO has confirmed to Senate estimates this morning that it has cut its renewables research by five per cent in the last year? Is the Prime Minister aware that CSIRO is shutting down altogether its project on splitting water to create hydrogen fuel—a $1 million setback to renewable energy research? Can the Prime Minister confirm that the Commonwealth’s own scientific research body spent zero dollars on wind research and only $4½ million on solar last year?
