It is good to know we have got some fans opposite! My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to the Prime Minister’s answer yesterday in relation to government plans for a mail-out to all eight million Australian households of a climate change brochure and a personal letter from the Prime Minister when he stated:

No such decision has been made by me or, to my knowledge, by the government.

And:

I was very careful in the answer I gave.

Prime Minister, didn’t the Ministerial Committee on Government Communications sign off on this climate change community information and education campaign on 16 April and allocate $176,000 for market research by Blue Moon Research and Planning Pty Ltd?

I simply repeat what I said yesterday: the government has not decided on any campaign.
