The coalition government supports Micah's aspiration for a world free from poverty. Our national interests are served by contributing to sustainable economic development and poverty reduction. Australia's total official development assistance budget of $4.2 billion supports countries to improve their governance, capacity building and economic development, including $1 billion over five years to support developing countries build their climate change resilience. We are stepping up our support for a more secure and prosperous Pacific by providing $1.3 billion in development assistance and $3 billion to support infrastructure initiatives.

Question agreed to.
