My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Wong. It was revealed last week that the Australian Antarctic Division needs to now slash $25 million, an astonishing 16 per cent of its operating budget, from its activities. As a result of these cuts under the Albanese government, how many jobs, contract, part time and full time, will be lost, and, from the 56 of those now apparently identified on an internal list, how many different Antarctic science programs, projects and research activities will you gut?
