Coalition is not just cutting, but ending green waste Much of the $6 billion in further savings announced today by the Coalition - other than the big cut in promised aid - strike me as cuts in waste. Why on earth were we throwing away such money? And what a surprise. Many of those cuts are of green programs: A lot of those cuts actually leave us well ahead. Labor's lies are now exposed. There are not $90 billion of cuts. There are no cuts to "hospitals and schools."
