This goes two ways. We have sat here and listened to irrelevancies from government members again and again, but not a squeak has anyone made because this is a wide-ranging debate. Madam Deputy Speaker, you have chosen to narrow that debate and you will have to wear the consequences of that. The point I made about scaremongering on the part of the government is because you are so disingenuous. You scare the people and yet you choose simply to say that you are the only people who believe in the science. There are many scientists who disagree with the ones that agree with you and those who disagree with you do not get funded. They make the point that they are entitled to be funded to do their research as well. The bottom line is this: the people are entitled to have a say before this penalty is imposed upon them.
