Wow! They are a little bit sensitive, aren't they? Wouldn't it be good, Senator Cadell, if you'd brought this forensic line of questioning to your own policy? I'm sure you did in that quick phone call in the party room when people just dumped this plan—not thought through, no costs, no idea how to deliver it. Did you stand up and go, 'How much is this going to cost as we roll this out?' I can refer senators to the funding that's in the budget. In this budget we are investing an extra $22.5 million over the next decade to help make Australia a renewable energy superpower, including: $3.2 billion for ARENA to promote clean energy innovation; $1.7 billion for the Future Made in Australia Innovation Fund; and $6.7 billion for hydrogen production tax credits. There's funding for the Hydrogen Headstart program and the Capacity Investment Scheme, and this is in addition to the sensible investments we made in the last budget. (Time expired)
