My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Tuesday's budget was a shocker for the planet. With just 0.3 per cent, 30c in every $100 of budget spending, dedicated to addressing the climate crisis and just 0.2 per cent of the budget, 20c in every $100, dedicated to the environment, the environment is suffering. Why did the Morrison government make the environment and climate change the biggest losers out of this year's budget?
