Claim: The Morrison government cut climate spending by 35 per cent in the 2022 federal budget.
Fact-check: Did the budget include a 35 per cent cut to climate spending?
Verdict: mostly true. budget papers show a 35 per cent decline in funding for climate programs over four years, although this doesn't necessarily account for all spending by government agencies.
