The member for Throsby earlier said that I had sought to impose a new definition of ‘sceptic’. The definition I gave of ‘sceptic’ yesterday was quoted from the Oxford English Dictionarythat is:

... a person inclined to question or doubt accepted opinions.

The Macquarie Dictionary definition is similar. It is:

... someone who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be knowledge.

The only people seeking to create a new definition of a sceptic are the opposition.
