My question is to the Treasurer. The government has already cut almost a billion dollars from clean energy and public good R&D and still plans to axe Australia's leading clean energy agencies, ARENA and the CEFC. If you really want us to believe the government has travelled down the road to Damascus on the way to Paris, instead of ripping out another $23 billion from clean energy research, development and investment, will you commit, here and now, to retaining the Australian Renewable Energy Agency and the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and doubling their budgets?
