My question is to the Prime Minister, who was referred to this morning by the now acceptable term of 'Typhoon Tony'. Prime Minister, Typhoon Haiyan may be the strongest typhoon on record and, according to Australia's scientists, has been fuelled by global warming. Will you now accept the science that states climate change will make typhoons and cyclones worse and will you heed the plea of the Philippine government's delegation in Warsaw to 'take drastic action now to ensure that we prevent a future where supertyphoons become a way of life'?
