My question again is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his statement in the parliament last Thursday in relation to the proposed taxpayer funded advertising campaign on climate change, when the Prime Minister said:

I repeat what I said yesterday: the government has not approved this campaign. I have not, my department has not and my office has not.

Can the Prime Minister confirm whether one advertisement in this non-existent advertising campaign has an elderly lady in it talking about practical responses to climate change while boiling the kettle?

I can only repeat what I said: no campaign has been approved.
