My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to a dissenting climate change report tabled in parliament today by four government members that states:

Here, we have a captain of industry (Rupert Murdoch), who, by his own admission is not a scientist, quoted regarding his view on anthropogenic global warming and the need to take action …

And:

This exemplifies the more general problem that most of the public statements that promote the dangerous human warming scare are made from a position of ignorance ...

Does the Prime Minister agree with his four government members—the members for Tangney, Lindsay, Hughes and Solomon—that Rupert Murdoch’s statements are made from a position of ignorance?
