Yes, I do seek leave.

Leave granted.

I move:

At the end of the motion, add ", but the Senate is of the view that:

(a) public money should not be used to support the new extraction and burning of coal and gas, while there is a climate crisis;

(b) the proportion of the $566 million for Geoscience Australia to map coal and gas reserves and providing this information to coal and gas corporations for free should be removed from the budget; and

(c) the $1.5 billion equity injection to facilitate the construction of the Middle Arm Gas and Petrochemical Hub should be removed from the Contingency Reserve."
