So half of that is cut from the climate department on climate and environment programs, including things like manufacturing batteries.

I thought they liked manufacturing.

No, cutting that.

cutting money to our renewable energy agency, which kind of kickstarts new ideas sort of renewables, and cutting the subsidies for electric vehicles in a fuel crisis, when people should actually be assisted to get off petrol cars from a cost of living and climate perspective.

Why didn't they do that for property investors?

You know, they're really not taking a consistent approach here.

So just to come back to your question, big cuts on climate, $4 billion cut, which is actually the biggest since Morrison.

But what they've also done is keep $46 billion for fossil fuel subsidies for mostly the big miners to get cheap diesel.

And they've found an extra $5 million for new gas fields.

And these are the same gas companies that aren't going to be subjected to a tax to use our resources that they could have raised $17 billion a year from.

We're going to keep the pressure up to get a gas tax because these companies are making record profits.

They were already ripping us off.

But now that the illegal war is happening, their profits have skyrocketed even more.

And we are going to keep the pressure on to say you shouldn't be able to get our gas for free and then flog it off and make megabucks while everyone else is having to tighten their belts.

So, yeah, we're going to keep the push on for that.

But the Prime Minister has ruled that out.

He's so enthralled with the big polluters.

They're so used to just handing out the subsidies, not taxing these buses.

Yeah, you're so right.

People are finding it hard to tell the difference because you've got Labor, the Liberals and One Nation, they're all delivering for the big corporations and the ultra wealthy.
