I rise to make a correction to an answer I gave to a question from Senator Paterson yesterday.

After reviewing the Hansard from question time yesterday, I believe that perhaps an incorrect impression may be given from what was written there. I want to clarify that the federal government is investing $50 million in hydrogen research across both the ARENA programs I referred to and the Future Fuels CRC. I thought, after reviewing the Hansard, that it might have left an impression that over $70 million had been provided. So I'm just correcting that.

by leave—I appreciate the minister coming in and correcting the record. It is a standard that should be adhered to, and one that I think some ministers on the other side, and particularly in the other place, should adhere to more regularly.
