Well, who misspoke—shows exactly why the voters kicked out the last government that was beholden to his political party, the Australian Greens, and a ragtag bunch of Independents who used to sit behind me here. It is disgraceful that people are politicking off natural disasters in this country. We have had bushfires before, we have had droughts before, we have had floods before. They are terrible, terrible things. And up my way we have had plenty of cyclones before. But every time one happens now we have the Australian Greens jumping on the bandwagon and saying: 'This has to do with climate change. Oh, woe is me, the sky is falling!'
